This plugin is not for everyone! I have a rather eclectic taste and read a wide variety of books and can tolerate a lot. I will use it some, but I have friends who will use it a lot. And since the bad word list is customizable, you can use it as you see fit.

- Don't replace the file, but have a way to download it from somewhere with a notification when it has changed.

Good ideas - Kovid gave the answer I was looking for - put the data in a json file in the config directory - this directory is not overwritten during plugin updates. May still have to use your ideas to determine if the data has changed and give the user a "revert" choice.

And look at Kovid's post in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=249522. |
Due to the potentially "large" size of this data, storing it in the db could be unnecessarily cluttering it, especially since it will seldom be used. See my response to Kovid. I will look at the examples you provided since I may still need them - thanks.
