Um... how could this be censored? I'm not being lenient.

I posted a comment that went like this:

   "When I tried it online, I'm not getting any bugs.  hmm "

How did that get censored? I know that spelling can be an issue, and words that are sometimes defined as passable. But the sentence (and emote) are completely innocent!

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Perhaps you misspelled a word?

My post said this that I knew that spelling could be an issue, and I'm a good speller. Nothing's wrong! I just don't understand.  hmm

Yeah... the message said that sometimes the system made errors, but it is an error. And if you notify the Scratch Team, maybe they'll fix it.  smile

Yeah, lately there has been an increase in false censoring.

I'm curious if people have other examples of unexpected words or phrases that triggered the filter - if you do, post them here so I can add them to the list of things to fix.  Thanks!

But it isn't a swear word! Try grape.

Re: Um... how could this be censored? I'm not being lenient.

Occasionally spacing or a mix of words will result in it not posting. Did it send you an auto message that it was being bleeped? or did it just not go?

Take out the G in grape and it's a bad word...

Re: Um... how could this be censored? I'm not being lenient.

I just had something like this, I got a message saying:

The notes on your project Dot Rpg V.1 is potentially using inappropriate language. We remind you to use appropriate language for all ages, please read the Terms of Use

Yet all I changed was the bottom with the "I should be making more projects soon etc:"

Nothing is inappropriate or has been removed though o.o

Lots of glitches... hmm. Should I make a thread on getting the filter problem solved? I guess I will.  hmm

Re: Um... how could this be censored? I'm not being lenient.

I've had this problem three times in the past week.
Try replacing the a's and s's with @'s and $'s? It never fails for me.
But I know you and your grammar... >;D

Re: Um... how could this be censored? I'm not being lenient.

I posted this:
"Just wait until the final version. There's no reason to flag anything. You can see it when it's done. If people like you hadn't commented the password on earlier versions after I asked you not to, I wouldn't have to do this. I don't see why it's not allowed; if you're smart enough you can figure out the password."
and I got this message:
"Your comment reply "Just wait until the final version. There's no reason to flag anything. You can see it when it's done. If people like you hadn't commented the password on earlier versions after I asked you not to, I wouldn't have to do this. I don't see why it's not allowed; if you're smart enough you can figure out the password." in CatBOT 0.5.1 was not posted because the system considered it inappropriate automatically.

Anyone got any suggestions as to why this was censored?
