The system thinks my comment is inappropriate, although it's not

My (real-life) friend and I were talking about the vegetables we are growing. I tried to post a comment that said:
"Same here: I'm growing peas, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, pumpkins, mint, corn, strawberries, and grapes! We even ate a strawberry from our garden yesterday  smile "

But an automated message was sent to me that said:
"Your comment reply "Same here: I'm growing peas, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, pumpkins, mint, corn, strawberries, and grapes! We even ate a strawberry from our garden yesterday  smile " in Adrianna Family Timeline 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"

It's not like it's very important to me that my friend knows what vegetables I'm growing... all the same, could you please try to fix it and/or try to figure out why that was considered inappropriate? Thanks!  smile

It's because the world grapes is blocked by the system because it contains certain inapropriate words within it. It thinks you're talking about... sexually assaulting somebody.

Re: The system thinks my comment is inappropriate, although it's not

you could re-comment only instead of saying grapes "say small round fruit bad for dogs BTW this word is randomly censored even though it's not bad."

Oh........ yeah, I see now. Thanks!

But why didn't your post of "grapes" here get censored? Are the forums coded without the censorship detector?  hmm

The forums are censored too, I just think they use a different system which lets "grapes" pass through. I'm not too sure, though.

Or it could be because of a possible typo on your part... no one is perfect, of course.
But I could be wrong.

It's a greek letter that looks like a p, so the filter won't pick it up.


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.

Re: The system thinks my comment is inappropriate, although it's not

It must be the word "grapes". The system probably thinks that your trying to say "rapes". Instead of grapes, say "round purple fruits".  tongue  Not a very decent suggestion, but you could try it.

They'd probably delete that too, cuz I don't think the server allows the word "wine", either.

Why on earth would they censor the word "wine?" There's nothing wrong with it.

If you drink wine too much, you can get sick, I think.

Does that mean it should be censored?

If you drink water too much, you can get sick. Does anybody censor that word? Not that I know of  smile

Of course, there are some... other... effects when you drink too much wine.
