I'm not using inappropriate language, but it's saying I am!

Recently, I went to add something to the project notes in one of my projects, but it kept disappearing when I hit the "ok" button.  I tired to retype it several times using different ways of wording my statement (including using different words altogether), but kept getting the same result.  I had no clue what was going on, until I found my inbox flooded with the same message that said "Please try to use appropriate language".
I don't want to be banned for something as small as a glitch in the censorship system.  Can someone help me??
I was trying to say: "I ' m   n o t   a c c e p t i n g   a n y m o r e  n e w    e e v e e s   i f   y o u r   u s e r n a m e   i s n ' t   o n   t h e   l i s t!  S o r r y   f o r   t h e   i n c o n v e n i e n c e!"  (only without the spaces.  I don't want this forum entry to get deleted for the same reason.)  The project is here http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Graciegator/731784.

Can someone tell me what's going on??

Signatures are for n00bs.  That's why I don't use mine!

The Scratch censoring system has been messed up for awile... I hope they fix it.  neutral

It's a little better now. I think they fixed it.

Your forum entry won't get deleted for the same reasons that your comment/tag will.


Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

I just tested it using your sentence (without the spaces) and it got censored for me too! That's really strange.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Weird...I haven't had that problem. Try separating "any" and "more" and it might work. Tell me if this failed.

This is super old, and I think we've solved this particular version of the problem, so I'm closing this thread.  smile

But just so everyone knows - getting automatic notifications won't result in your account being blocked. We only do that when a moderator thinks it's necessary after reviewing someone's comments and sending warnings.
