Bad Word Detector (is INCORRECT)
I think you could write the sentence in another way, because there are phases that are bad.

No support because then little kids wouldn`t know not to say it.The message would literally say the word is inappropriate

Bad Word Detector (is INCORRECT)
Part of this is a repost from this topic, I am posting it here since I posted it in the wrong place…
This has happened to me before where I tried to post a comment and the filter was telling me I had a word in there that wasn't allowed. I kept altering it to the point I got muted for not figuring it out (I think the sentence itself was fine, the filter was just incorrect). The warning in the comments should really show you what's up with the comment to prevent getting muted for trying to fix it multiple times.
This feature would probably also help reduce the amount of reporting to the Scratch Team about a false mute if that is something a good amount of people report about.
@fdreerf told me about a method that seems to work great though as an alternative:

I think you were trying to trial-and-error to find out what was wrong in an inefficient way; what I do is I cut (Ctrl+X) the second half of the comment, see if the filter allows the first half, if it does replace the first half with the second half by pasting, if it doesn't, repeat until you isolate the phrase. It normally takes around 5 or so tries to get it.

I just typed Paint and it says that I'm not respectful,I don't know why.Maybe because I reported my own comment?I looked at a discussion and it says you can either report your own comment to delete it or look for the button for deleting the comment.I just can't find the button until now.Please fix the changes.

No support. If a child types something and sees the message “Xyz is a bad word. Please refrain from using it” then they might google what it means out of curiosity.

No support. If a child types something and sees the message “Xyz is a bad word. Please refrain from using it” then they might google what it means out of curiosity.Why would they type the swear word in the first place? If they already know the swear word then it's not Scratch's fault.
