My comment..... got.... "mis - posted!" :O

I once posted a comment. Here is a sniplet of what I wrote:

…I would feel ashamed 100000 times more than that.

But what happened after I posted the comment? This was what it looked like:

… I would feel ashamed XXXXXX times more than that.

Do you notice the Xs? That was what my comment looked like, and that was not what I wanted to be.

Does anyone have an idea of what is going on and why my comment got substituted with all these unneeded Xs?
I am not sure if it was a bug or a censor system….

The sensor system thought it was a phone number or social security number, so it replaced it with X's.

Hmmm… now that is a problem with the censor system.

Actually, it turns out that it was the censor system triggered, because it thought that I was giving out my phone number and social security number, according to ProdigyZeta7. So it is not a bug from what I read from post #2.

Yeah, that's the phone number censor. It's not super sophisticated - but it tries hard

I thought the phone number filter got removed because it was interfering with commenting SHA-1 hashes (which often have long strings of numbers in them) on the user verification project for Mod Share and the Scratch Wiki.
