this would require going thru each rule and categorizing it then modifying
SA perhaps by adding a "category" to each rule. Something like:
body PROFITS /PROFITS/
describe PROFITS Contains word 'profits' in all-caps
score PROFITS 1.809
category PROFITS GET_RICH_QUICK
*OR*
body PORN_1 /\bbarely\b.{0,15}\blegal\b/i
describe PORN_1 Uses words and phrases which indicate porn (1)
score PORN_1 3.092
category PORN_1 SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT
This approach would allow you to easily create custom categories and not
neccessarily be limited to a fixed few. Briefly looking thru some of the
rules it would seem alot of them are more general than specific and could
apply to several categories.
Very interesting concept...
