If no dictionary is named, the command targets the '''main dictionary'''. Neither command accepts multiple words in one message — a batch add or remove has to be submitted as a file instead.

			'''Blacklisting''' a word is a separate mechanism from ordinary removal: a blacklisted word stays out of active play (it's checked against as an exclusion filter) while still technically remaining present in the main dictionary file, rather than being deleted outright.

			Two admin-only commands, <code>!ban</code>/<code>!b</code> and <code>!unban</code>/<code>!ub</code> (restricted to the bot's owner and a specific admin role, not every word curator), sit on top of this: <code>!ban word</code> blacklists a word and additionally purges it from every other themed dictionary category (including the automatically-maintained small/large/palindrome lists), locking it out of all of them until <code>!unban word</code> lifts the lock — without removing the word from the blacklist itself. "Banned" and "blacklisted" are deliberately separate states: a word can stay permanently blacklisted (still unplayable) while becoming addable to other categories again the moment it's unbanned. A banned word can't be re-added to any other category, or pulled back out of the blacklist directly, until it's unbanned first.

		= 📖 Shiritori Bot Dictionary Guidelines =
		The '''Super Shiritori Bot Dictionary''' is a carefully maintained word list that powers all gameplay. It contains '''over 950,000 words''', handpicked and auto-expanded with intelligent logic to balance fairness, creativity, and linguistic curiosity.

		Unlike traditional dictionaries, ours blends standard English, culturally relevant references, and gameplay-specific terms. Here’s how it all works.
		----

		== ✅ What IS Accepted ==

		=== 🗣️ Standard English Vocabulary ===

		* Core of the dictionary. Includes:
		** Common nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs
		** Plurals, verb conjugations (e.g., <code>run</code>, <code>ran</code>, <code>running</code>)
		** Comparative/superlative forms (e.g., <code>faster</code>, <code>fastest</code>)
		** Compound nouns (e.g., <code>ice-cream</code>, <code>mother-in-law</code>)

		----

		=== 🌍 Culturally Significant Proper Nouns ===

		==== ✅ Places ====

		* Countries, cities, continents, regions, and well-known landmarks → e.g., <code>japan</code>, <code>europe</code>, <code>eiffel</code>

		==== ✅ Characters & Media ====

		* Widely recognized fictional characters, species, or concepts → e.g., <code>pikachu</code>, <code>hogwarts</code>, <code>kryptonite</code>

		<blockquote>❗ '''Note:''' These are '''not''' exhaustively curated. They are only added when '''suggested''' by players and pass review.</blockquote>

		==== ✅ Names (Conditional) ====

		* Famous people ''only'' if the name is:
		** Used metaphorically or generically (e.g., <code>john</code>, <code>bill</code>)
		** Part of a well-known phrase or cultural reference → e.g., <code>napoleon-complex</code>, <code>john-doe</code>
		* Most personal names are '''not''' accepted.

		----

		=== 🌐 Foreign Terms (Integrated into English) ===

		* Foreign-origin words commonly used in English → e.g., <code>déjà-vu</code>, <code>rendezvous</code>, <code>resume</code>
		* Stored '''normalized''': Accents/diacritics are flattened (e.g., <code>touché</code> → <code>touche</code>)

		----

		=== 🔤 Acronyms & Expanded Phrases ===

		* Common acronyms and their '''hyphenated expansions''' are both valid: → <code>scuba</code>, <code>self-contained-underwater-breathing-apparatus</code> → <code>nasa</code>, <code>national-aeronautics-and-space-administration</code> → <code>mlmsthpgldglstppcchcmtm</code>, which stands for a long list of political ideologies (see: Ideology Strings)

		----

		=== 🔢 Numbers as Words ===

		* Large numbers are only accepted if '''used in a real, documented context'''.
		** Example: → <code>one-fifty-one-thousand-six-hundred</code> is valid, because it appears in ''"Rest Employed"'' by The Stupendium:<blockquote>“One-fifty-one-thousand-six-hundred people die every day on Earth…”</blockquote>
		* Powers of ten (e.g., <code>googol</code>, <code>centillion</code>) and their '''plural forms''' are also valid.
		* Numbers like <code>151601</code> or <code>fifty-two-thousand-eight</code> are '''not''' accepted unless cited in media or verified documentation.

		----

		== ❌ What is Not Accepted ==

		=== ❌ Nonexistent / Gibberish Words ===

		* Random strings, typos, or invented combinations → e.g., <code>xqwbno</code>, <code>asdfgh</code>

		=== ❌ Obscure Proper Nouns ===

		* Unrecognized places, indie characters, niche franchises
		* Exceptions are made only if a term gains widespread use

		=== ❌ Most Names ===

		* Personal names that do not have wider metaphorical, pop culture, or dictionary presence → e.g., <code>jacob</code>, <code>ashley</code> (unless dual-meaning or heavily used)

		=== ❌ Purely Foreign Words ===

		* Words that have not been adopted into English usage → e.g., rare terms in Finnish, Swahili, etc. unless borrowed

		=== ❌ Invalid Characters ===

		* Words containing:
		** Numbers (unless '''fully written''' or alphabetized like <code>glock-eighteen</code>)
		** Symbols other than:
		*** <code>-</code> (hyphen)
		*** <code>'</code> (apostrophe)

		=== ❌ Words Over 250 Characters ===

		* Words longer than '''250 characters''' are '''auto-rejected'''
		* May be reevaluated if usage proves significant (see: <code>krung-thep-mahanakhon...</code> at 188 characters — accepted due to its association with "Bangkok")
