[pmwiki-users] Site.Blocklist

After reading one user's issues with spam I thought I'd investigate the 
blocklist function. Clearly there is something I'm missing here. Despite 
reading the explanation on this facility I'm uncertain of a couple of 
things:

1. Can I just copy and paste the contents of Site.Blocklist on PMWiki as 
I see it? The page on blocklists tells me there are two formats (using 
/\) yet the page Site.Blocklist is just a list of blocked words. No sign 
of any forward or backward slashes.
2. If I do have to add slashes, where do I put them? The example 'block: 
/\.uni\.ch/' is a bad one because there's a .ch involved here, just to 
complicate simple brains like mine! How would you, for example, block 
the word viagra - do you just enter 'block:viagra'. If so, why can I 
still enter this word in a page entry?

I've created my own Site.Blocklist page and added a list of blocked 
words. I have added to my config file the lines:

$EnableBlocklist = 1;
$EnableWhyBlocked = 1;

Is there something I'm missing?

Regards,

Jamie
