 Thousands of websites face spam and hacking attempts through comments. To
 combat this, various moderation, validations, captchas, plugins, etc. are
 involved. Unfortunately, such solutions do not always cope and load the
 website using external scripts, etc.

 Proposal to improve WordPress security:
 Currently, on the page /wp-admin/options-discussion.php there is a block
 "Prohibited comments keywords" it acts as an automatic moderation for
 sending to the trash (i.e. comments are still accepted, so the trash can
 can contain a lot of spam).

 I propose to modernize this function, namely to allow administrators to
 choose what to do with comments that contain prohibited comments keywords
 (radio button):
 - send to trash
 - do not accept (when clicking on submit button, perform system
 validation, if there is a word from the list, then display a notification
 to the user that the comment is prohibited)
