Perhaps you could add a few words to explain what the filter is so people aren't confused by this topic?

The filter is a program that looks at comments, studio descriptions, project instructions and so on looking for inappropriate words. Currently, it is not looking at words typed in the forums, which makes this a good place to discuss it. There is a much simpler filter that works in the forums - but it is hard-coded and not easy to change.

The Scratch Wiki has a bit on the filter too: https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Censor

So does that explain why every time I type a bunch of numbers it replaces it with X's?

Hello!
I don't know if anyone else is getting this on Scratch, but I think it needs to be fixed.
I've had it lately where I'll go to my messages and try to reply to a comment, but the comment either doesn't show up or takes forever to load and then signs me out when I reload the page.
It's happened to me and multiple friends. Is there a way to solve it?

The phone number filter removes strings of numbers of certain lengths

Hello there! Just a warning, I put a loooooot of text in this thing so only read it if you have time. I used the [code] tag to make this thingy. So... yeah! Hi there! I'm Isabella, but you can just call me Izzy. This is actually my second account, I'll follow you if you can follow the digital breadcrumbs and find my other. Scavenger hunt! Seriously tho I just wanted a disconnected account so if you can find it you get a digital thumbs-up. Currently, I am into (don't close out on me here!) the video game Undertale. If you haven't heard of it, it's "The video game where nothing has to die." It's got one of my favorite stories and- well, I won't rant at you here. Don't be put off by the toxic fanbase, most of us find the small but vocal group of 10-year-olds quite obnoxious as well. Also, I'm trying to improve my art although I haven't put much of it on this account. I don't like the 3.0 costume maker interface tho because they ruined the reshape tool and now it considers a line a donut-shaped object and I used to do most of my art through reshaping basic shapes so yeah. I've recently gotten into a few art YouTubers who are my current senpais, look up WalkingMelonsAAA. I hope to draw like her someday. lol, I had this whole idea for what I was going to put in my siggy and I got waaaaay off track. It's also too long so I'll cut out some of what I was going to say. Do you have any tips on making my poses not so stiff? I know this is a problem loads of young artists have had. This account is currently most active on the forums so I most likely won't make any new projects here for a while. And this tells me you read to the end and care about what I have to say! Here's a heart. ♥ Leave a comment on my Week 4 Leilani's Art Camp project with the phrase "caramel popcorn" and I'll love one of your projects. Thanks for reading this! Bye!

It's the scratch filter banning the word “Discord” since it's the name of an unmoderated chat site.

Why did they ban parenthesis?

This is the problem you're likely having.

Scratch Wiki wrote:
Sometimes, if a user comments on one's profile later, the comment that previously would not show may appear. Then, the user can view, reply, delete, or report the comment. This works with most users, but is only temporary. This will need to be done again when another comment will not show.

Clearing the browser's cache may help fix this problem. If one uses Google Chrome, they can go to “Clear Browser Data” in Settings, click “Advanced,” then select the following:
Browsing History
Download History
Cookies and other site data
Cached images and files
To clear the entire cache, one can select “All time.” Then, they can click “Clear Data.”
Note Warning: Clearing one's cache may sign the user out of some websites, requiring the person to login again. Also, it may take longer to open some websites because images and other graphics will need to be reloaded.

This is what the Scratch Wiki says; the method I usually use is the first one – I leave another comment on the affected profile or studio, and everything loads and shows up properly. Try that!

Please note that this is the wrong topic for this, and if you have further questions, they should go to one of the many topics about this particular bug, preferably one of the active/large ones.

Generation 378: The first time you see this, copy and paste it on top of your sig in the Scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment. Artificially boosting the generation is forbidden, but it's probably happened anyway.

If you feel so inclined, comment on my profile about effective altruism, toki pona, Slate Star Codex / Astral Codex Ten, Esperanto, conlanging and other conlangs, or any kind of politics/policy.

Hi, I have a problem with sharing my project; everyone else can share using the orange pop-up message, or the orange button after they press “see-inside,” but for some reason, mine won't pop-up. Suggestions?

mosespizzachips1

So, i found this bug witch is REALLY annoying to me i suggest you fix it so yeah here's the bug.
Even though i only have like 2 sprite it says “Can Not Save” EVERY time i try to save my project.
And i was just trying to add music and yeah…… nothing worked it wouldn't even let me use the offline editor!

There's an example of whats happening (If the image showed up)
Please fix this.

mosespizzachips1

I don't know if this is happening to anybody else but i REALLY don't like this bug.
It says “Can not save” after i'm trying to save it if i click “Try Again” it just does it again and when i tried clicking “Download” it just did nothing.
(Here's an example of what i was trying to do.)

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [Music Example v] until done
end

Please fix this bug.

Y'all, I said KFC (As in the restaurant) and the filter stated that something was inappropriate. When I deleted the KFC, it let me post.

Sorry, I think you've got the wrong topic. This is for problems with the comment and description filters.

CNR. What probably happened is something like this:

Say the word “rank” is a bad word which is filtered out.

You type:

I ran KFC as a manager for years.

See what I mean?

This is for filter issues only. Bugs and technical problems should be posted elsewhere, please.

For some reason whenever I try to use the word “kiss” in a RP message, a few hours later or sometimes sooner the comment gets deleted and i get a message asking me to “please keep RP themes appropriate” even if it’s just a mom kissing her kid goodnight! Any idea why this is happening??

And also just saying that a character kissed another character sets it off, even if there is NOTHING at all descriptive. If there was I would understand but it’s literally just stuff like “She kissed him and walked off to put their son to bed.” If someone can help with this I’d really appreciate it, and sorry if this is on the wrong topic this is my first time using the forums.
