What? There is nothing wrong with my project notes!
I just got a message saying "The notes on your project Building demolisher (DOWNLOAD! LAGG ONLINE!) is potentially using inappropriate language. We remind you to use appropriate language for all ages, please read the Terms of Use"
The projects notes don't say anything bad!
Is this some kind of mistake?
All they said was that I used some ideas from other people and explains the game, there wasn't any bad words at all!
Does this happen when people report you or something?

Re: What? There is nothing wrong with my project notes!
Sometimes the filter picks up two words next to each other and marks them inappropriate since they end up having last and first letters that form a bad word 
But here I don't see anything wrong. You posting one paragraph at a time to find out which paragraph the filter doesn't like though..
Edit: I figured it out.
The word "Skyscrapers" is being blocked because of the last 6 letters..

I think the filter needs some corrections (or be replaced by real humans). I got the "potentially inappropriate language" message today and the notes I wrote were in Spanish! I was quite surprised. I double checked the notes to see where would they contain an inappropriate word or phrasing but there is nothing wrong, I speak Spanish natively.
I think language detection technology is widely available nowadays, it could be a nice addition to the filter, and non-English speakers will appreciate it.

That's actually a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing it; you might want to post this in the Suggestions forum.

It's odd... words with censored ones inside them are fine in the forums.
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

I think someone or a Mod mentioned somewhere the filters are different for the website and the forums 
.
Perhaps the forum filters should be applied to the main website instead? They work fine here and would be less strict and better.

Ok Coolstuff, I will !!! Today my project notes in spanish were erased twice, there is no way to pass the filter even though I started the comments with a notice that they were written in Spanish. It just ignored it.
