The language filter system is a bit overly sensitive when detecting bad words. I wonder what string of letters in "woodpecker" triggered the filter system.

Gee, I can't imagine.  tongue

But in all seriousness, the language filter could use a little work. Currently, it tends to cause a lot of confusion.

Maybe the Scratch Team changed something about the filter?

Re: Problem With Inappropriate Language Automatic System Filter

Yes, I suppose so - I can post "grape" now. Strangely, I still can't post "grapes" or "woodpecker"... maybe they forgot to add them to the whitelist?

And I still haven't gotten a message that reprimands me for my 'inappropriate' comments... something has changed.  hmm

EDIT: No, I got them now...

Take all of the bad words out, and make a system to check if the word is in this word list.

You had to point it out.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

Yet it doesn't censor actual bad words. this topic is also being derailed by random posts

I was on a project that had a song that I found was funny, which was about grapes, so I put a comment saying this: I LIKE GRAPES!! I came about an hour later with a message, and it said someone had replied to the comment, however also saying that it could not display the comment, because the Scratch system filter had automatically marked it has inappropriate

I have the same problem...it started with "SONIC LABRYTHIN IS TERRIBLE!" by sonicbub, then i tryed commenting back saying "i know, it sucks. i couldn't get past the first BOSS" , then the scratch site said "Your comment reply "i know, it sucks. i couldn't get past the first BOSS" in Hamemories was not posted because the system considered it inappropriate automatically.
Sometimes this automatic censorship is incorrect and we apologize if this is the case. We remind you to use appropriate language for all ages, please read the Terms of Use"
