Re: project using inappropriate language

I have this problem alot when i try talking in japaneese romanji, when I combine the "Shi" and "Te" sounds.

The system is SO STRICT that if you say a word that contains a bad word, like grass, it censors. Even when you say a word that contains a misspelling of a bad word, like, hoarder, it wont let you use it!

No, not really. Unless the Scratch Team fixes the server so it isn't as aggressive, it won't change. Sorry, it really is kind of annoying.  sad

@Garr8: the language system is kind of sensitive so if it detects a string of bad words in a perfectly normal word, the censor system thinks it's bad. It's been an ongoing problem for a while.

The Scratch Team has been trying to work the bugs out the censor system so it is less sensitive. You could try to single out the trigger word by posting the project description word by word (a long and boring process, I know ^^U)  and then alert the Scratch Team about the trigger word to see if they can do a fix if possible.  smile

I do that so many times..... It's crazy. Scratch even picks up the name of my favorite anime as inapropriate!

Re: project using inappropriate language

I really wish they'd fix this, it's been there for years...

I suppose you could identify which word is being wrongly censored, then change one letter in the offending part to something that looks similar, i.e. g to 9, i to 1, etc. It doesn't look great, but it works.


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.
