Spanish YouTube Spam Filter: Copyable Blocked Phrases
English-only lists miss requests such as ‘suscríbete a mi canal’ and ‘paga para reclamar tu premio.’ This starter pack covers several Spanish solicitation patterns, with accented and unaccented variants where useful. It is a starting point for your audience’s vocabulary, not an exhaustive list for every Spanish-speaking country.
For: Creators moderating Spanish or mixed English–Spanish comment sections who want specific scam and engagement-exchange phrases.
Edit your list and check a comment
12 phrases. Remove anything your audience uses legitimately. Edits stay on this page and are not saved to your channel.
Phrases found: escríbeme por telegram, paga para reclamar tu premio
This browser-only check ignores capitalization and looks for literal phrases, including inside quotations. YouTube may also match similar wording. A match is not proof of spam, and no match is not a guarantee that a comment will be published.
What this pack matches, including a false positive
These are illustrative comments, not messages from customer accounts. They use the unedited starter list.
| Example comment | Phrases found | Review context |
|---|---|---|
| ¡Has ganado! Escríbeme por Telegram y paga para reclamar tu premio. | escríbeme por telegram, paga para reclamar tu premio | The message asks a supposed winner to make private contact and pay. Review the sender and your actual giveaway process. |
| Suscribete a mi canal y yo me suscribo al tuyo. | suscribete a mi canal, yo me suscribo al tuyo | An unaccented subscription-swap request. Both accent variants are intentionally present in the editable pack. |
| No hagas caso a quien diga ‘envía tus datos bancarios’ en los comentarios. | envía tus datos bancarios | False positive: this viewer is warning others not to share bank details. Quoting a phrase still triggers a literal match. |
Legitimate wording the starter list leaves alone
- ¿Puedes explicar cómo proteger mi cuenta de Telegram?
- ¡Gracias por el vídeo! Me ayudó con mi canal.
These examples have no literal matches. YouTube’s own moderation can still make a different decision.
Words to avoid blocking too broadly
- premio / regalo
- These words appear in genuine giveaway discussions and questions about gifts.
- canal / suscripción
- They are ordinary YouTube vocabulary, not evidence of a subscription exchange on their own.
A practical review routine
- Check phrasing with someone familiar with your audience’s Spanish; regional usage and missing accents can change matching.
- Keep legitimate viewer warnings even when they quote a phrase from the pack.
- Add new variants from confirmed examples on your channel. Do not remove accents from every word indiscriminately or treat the preview as a translation model.
Add the phrases to YouTube Studio
- Edit and copy the list above.
- In YouTube Studio settings, open Community moderation, then Content controls and Blocked words.
- Keep existing phrases you need, add your comma-separated list, and save.
- Check held comments and release legitimate matches.
Check the current YouTube Studio setup instructions if your menu differs. YouTube says comments containing or closely matching blocked terms may be held, with exceptions such as approved users. Read its comment settings guide for details. This pack is a CommentShark resource, not an official YouTube blacklist.
Adapt a contextual rule in CommentShark
When literal phrases are too broad, use this as a starting instruction for an AI match rule. Read it against your own channel policy and examples before enabling it.
Identify Spanish comments that impersonate the creator, ask a viewer to pay or share bank details to collect an unsolicited prize, or request subscription exchanges. Exclude ordinary channel questions, real giveaway entries, relevant recommendations, and warnings that quote scam wording. Flag uncertain cases for review.
Follow the rule editor walkthrough, choose the AI match option and Hold for review action, and check the proposed matches. Holding a comment moves it out of public view into the YouTube Studio review queue; it is different from waiting for approval of a drafted reply.
Open your rules to configure the rule yourself. This link does not import a rule or activate automation. For broader guidance, read Moderación de comentarios de YouTube en español.
Questions about this moderation pack
Does this list cover every Spanish-speaking audience?
No. Vocabulary and spelling differ between communities. Start with these explicit solicitations, inspect your held comments, and add language you actually see rather than assuming one list fits every country.
Why include words with and without accent marks?
The local phrase checker ignores capitalization but preserves accents. Including both ‘escríbeme’ and ‘escribeme’ makes those two forms explicit. It does not promise to reproduce YouTube’s matching behavior.
Can I combine Spanish and English phrases?
Yes. Paste additional phrases separated by commas or new lines in the editor. Check mixed-language examples and remove phrases that catch legitimate conversation before using the combined list.
