I think the bad word detector isn't so good, because if someone uses bad wods, the comment can always be reported.
I tried a few minutes ago to answer on a german comment and wrote a longer comment, but the bad word detecter said always there's a bad word. I playd about 5 minutes with it around, until i found the word. It's the german word for “less”, “weniger” (please remove the german one, if it's really a bad word), so no unusual word, which is often needed and the translator says, that there isn't an english word for it, so i think it's even not a bad word. We had some months ( or almost a year) ago in the german forums a similar problems. A word, which is often used, was marked as a bad word, but it wasn't. Is here the same problem?

The word “weniger” contains a common misspelling of a word that is racist in the English language (found by removing the first two letters). That's why the word filter thought the comment was bad.

Like with the 1.4 filter, the world filter on 2.0 is a bit sensitive and sometimes results in a false positive. The ST has been talking about this recently, trying to find ways to improve the filter so it doesn't trigger a comment as bad when another language is used.

Yes thanks for this feedback! It's super helpful. We're planning on tuning this soon. If anyone else finds any other false positives, let us know!

okay, i will open a new thread in the german forums, where we can collect these words to help us each other fixing our comments and helping you to imrprove it

okay, new word:
“daher immer”.
These are 2 words, if i type them single, it works, but when i write them together in this order the badword filter complains -.-

Thanks! We should have that one fixed now. Can you confirm?

Are you german?

The detector ACTUALLY thinks that is a bad word.

That's probably because it's not so nice to comment with a frowny face
