 * Are you referring to comments or posts by authors on the site?
 * If referring to comments, you can add words to the “Comment Moderation” section
   under Settings > Discussion in your WordPress admin. There are instructions there
   that lays out how it works.

 * Thanks Justin, yep this feature i great, but i’m looking for a plugin which i
   can use for any content posted by users. For instance in my case i have a listing
   ads website, so i would auto moderate before to publish ads.

 * I don’t know of any plugins offhand for moderating posts by content, and I didn’t
   see anything that looked like it would fit in the plugin directory. That would
   typically be something best built into whatever plugin you’re using for listing
   ads.
 * In general, I would prefer going the route of “moderating” everything by not 
   giving untrusted users publishing access. Give them permission to create new 
   ads (as drafts/pending review) but manually publish them yourself. Of course,
   this may not be ideal, depending on how many ads are flowing through and your
   monitoring process.
 * More than likely, the feature you’re asking about is something that would need
   to be custom built.

 * indeed, best security and quality is manual moderation, but one day i’ll have
   thousands to check 🙂 and most of them would be fine and should not be in the
   box of validation. So the prebuilt solution that use regex in comment moderation
   is exactly what i was looking for and i tested again.. its fine! So i’ll ask 
   a dev ot integrate it to my ads content.
    Many thanks Justin for your help 🙂

 * How about Akismet? It allows you to put in words and regexes to force moderation.
