Something weird happened. Can anyone explain it?
Recently, I made a project for my birthday and about 5 minutes later I get a message saying that my project might have inappropriate language,(actually 3 messages) but it doesn't...
Here is the project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Naivia/1213000
I don't get it...
Hi Hi Hi
Hi Hi HiI can be evil... Muhahahahahahahahahahahahaha! For now I'll be nice

Hmm... did you have to edit the project notes at all? Sometimes, the filter catches words that aren't bad at all in the project notes 
It sounds like an automatic warning to me...
Also, I'll move this to "Troubleshooting" for you

Yeah - the filter on this website is not very good. "Skyscraper" can set it off. I think it may be time for a new filter!

Hmm... maybe someone could make a Sticky that says "Words not to be used until further notice" and we have words that can set the filter off.

Re: Something weird happened. Can anyone explain it?
But there can be many...
Just an example about 'grapes':
Code:
chemotherapeutic chemotherapeutics crape crapes drape draped draper draperies drapers drapery drapes grape graped grapefruit grapefruits grapes grapeshot grapevine grapevines parapet parapets scrape scraped scraper scrapers scrapes serape serapes skyscraper skyscrapers therapeutic therapeutically therapeutics trapeze trapezed trapezes trapezing trapezium trapeziums trapezoid trapezoidal trapezoids
There are already so many words for this.
But... this may be a good idea!

I'm not sure that's much of an issue... You can use them on the forum, and there's a huge number of words you can't use, and it might encourage cheating the filter a little bit more.

Thanks, maybe I'll put it in the Suggestions section.
