As I was fixing a project description, and changed it to this:

*Please give me and Audio Machine (creators of Dark Evolution) credit if you use this song. Thanks!

The bad word detector deemed it to contain bad words, and didn't allow me to change it to that. This has happened with some of my other projects as well for no reason I can find. Is there any way I can fix this?

Hmm, I ran that sentence through our sandbox filter, and it did not pick up on anything. Are you sure that's the description you used?

Is the parenthesized text part of the comment?

Yes.

I copied and pasted it from my project before the description got reset again due to this problem.

Hmm, is that the whole description, or were you adding that sentence to an already-existing description?

I was adding it to the description I already had. Here's a link to the project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/2620232/

Ah, I see it. The trigger isn't the sentence you posted - rather, it's something in the old description.

Your project was uploaded during the 1.4 era, back when the word filter only applied to comments. But since 2.0 reads project descriptions, it re-read your description when you tried to update it. In this case, it thought “Shananigames” was a bad word (it contains a common misspelling of a racist term).

I'll see if the ST can add “shananigames” to the whitelist.

It's been added - hopefully that won't cause you any further problems.

Oh, I had no idea. I should probably change the name of my collaborative game making effort then. xD

This issue was resolved on the project I linked you to, but I still have this problem on other projects.

Here's the link to one of them that still isn't working: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1775895/

Whitelisted words are case-sensitive. Just switch “SHANANIGAMES” to “Shananigames” and you should be good to go.

Ok
