I want to give a request to someone, but i'm being given these messages:

It censors my comment because apparently "woodpecker" is a bad word.

After trying for several times, I get a message saying, "Sorry, you posted a similar comment recently." Even though i worded it differently.

I dunno, but this is really * me off.

If you post a comment with similar words a couple times, it blocks to stop spammers. (Even if it was worded a bit differently)

And yes, the censor is a little off. If you post a word that has a censored word in it (like woodpecker), it gets censored. I'll let you figure out the censored word there.

Well, that kinda sucks.

hmnwilson · 2010-09-01 19:52:27

That's weird, though. There's nothing in "woodpecker" that should've gotten censored...

Edit: What you get when you remove the "wood" part is what sets it off.
(edited to make it more SFW)

Uh, yeah, that's a rather inappropriate word... that's all you need to know.

After you try posting it it will have a notification.

Ya, but young scratchers will recognize "woodpecker" as a bird, and not as the "other" meaning.

It's just the way the censor is designed.

That's true. Maybe we can suggest to the scratch team that they manually input a list of censored words instead of just auto-censoring anything that has any part of any cuss -- if that makes sense. hmm

W.o.o.d p.e.c.k.e.r does not get sensored.

joeisawesome · 2010-09-02 09:23:46

Mhmm. That's what's setting the trigger off.

Sorry, filters will never be perfect. :-/
