1. A method of administering a collaboration application using computers connected via a network, the method comprising:

  • receiving an instruction via one of the computers to save a collaboration page posting from a revision poster;

    determining by executing a computer operation that the posting contains a word or phrase from a list of words or phrases relating to sensitive information, the sensitive information including offensive words or phrases, words or phrases that are considered confidential, words or phrases that are considered proprietary, or words or phrases that are associated with an asset;

    retrieving an e-mail address of the revision poster;

    generating an e-mail to the revision poster that notifies the revision poster that the posting contains the word and that explains concerns about the posting;

    sending the e-mail to the revision poster via the network; and

    setting an access parameter to reduce access to the collaboration page based on the word appearing in the posting by increasing a security level required for accessing the collaboration page such that fewer people can access the collaboration page after it has been changed than before it was changed based on the word or phrase being contained in the collaboration page.
