censoring issue
Your comment reply "thanks! the answer to the third from last (no. 8) is what it is because if it were anything else, then it would be incorrect. for example, if you answered 4, then it would be wrong because $1 plus half of $4 = $1+$2 = $3, it needs to equal itself. the next one is what it is because if you put the answer before all of those words, the result will be a proper word. for example, [answer]date, [answer]kind, [answer]hood are all real words. and i honestly can't remember the last answer lol. sorry!" in Unwind Your Mind! (Edition I) 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 Community Guidelines
i know that there's been cases of the censor censoring words like grape etc., but i can't even see a word within a word here that's not allowed. or does posting a comment over 500 characters set off the censor for whatever reason?

Re: censoring issue
I know what set it off, it's the dollar signs ("$1 plus half of $4 = $1+$2 = $3"). Get rid of them and the comment should go through.
Not sure if you remember this incident, but there was a bunch of annoyingly persistent [if not evil!] SEO spammers from China that came and posted ad comments, so we added in a few filters that would detect if someone was posting prices to products. Looks like your comment resulted in a false positive! ^^;

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Re: censoring issue
It measures in bytes, and unicode takes more than a byte.
I tested Test comment: $$ ˆƒ¥, and it went through.
And Test comment: $$$$$$ $1 + $2 = $3.
Click the sign.
