Bad Word Detector

Let's have this topic closed now, agreed?
Bottom line is, the detector was probably set off by one of these things:
  • References to an inappropriate topic that used, for instance, the name of the topic
  • Accidental inclusion of a bad word because of a certain unlucky combination of letters (1)
Your best option in either of those cases is to delete or reword the warning. Or you could just take it out entirely, I think if you judge a project suitable to be shared on Scratch it's not necessary to include a warning. (2)

(1) If the topic was, say, zebras, the detector would be set off by ‘bronze brass’
(2) If you are only judging a project suitable to be shared on Scratch because of the warning, that doesn't excuse inappropriate content.

Bad Word Detector

I honestly think the bad word detector should only detect the CORRECT spelling and the correct way. So then, "pizzas should be $0.50" would not be detected.
(I didn't actually say a bad word)

Bad Word Detector

My monogram (fcs) is detected as a bad word. Can anyone explain me why this is a bad word?

Please use the official thread here to report issues with the filter. Thanks!

Closing this thread as it's quite old and doesn't need further responses.
