# comment-word-blacklist **_Deprecated: Instead use the [`comment-word-disallowed-list`](../comment-word-disallowed-list/README.md) rule._** Specify a list of disallowed words within comments. ```css /* words within comments */ /** ↑ ↑ ↑ * These three words */ ``` **Caveat:** Comments within _selector and value lists_ are currently ignored. ## Options `array|string|regexp`: `["array", "of", "words", /or/, "/regex/"]|"word"|"/regex/"` If a string is surrounded with `"/"` (e.g. `"/^TODO:/"`), it is interpreted as a regular expression. Given: ``` ["/^TODO:/", "badword"] ``` The following patterns are considered violations: ```css /* TODO: */ ``` ```css /* TODO: add fallback */ ``` ```css /* some badword */ ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered violations: ```css /* comment */ ```
