I understand that this might be a complicated thing to do, but could there, in any way, be something that tells you what you need to fix?

I just finished writing an incredibly long Notes and Credits section and this pops up:
“Hmm…the bad word detector thinks there is a problem with your text. Please change it and remember to be respectful.”
I have no idea what the problem is.
I've changed practically everything I can think of in the Notes and Credits, and at this point I might just have to rewrite it or something. There are no words that could be considered inapropriate.
I'm not contacting for the issue in my project specifically, I can deal with that.
But maybe there's a way so the Filterbot could highlight whatever word it thinks is wrong? Especially in long descriptions?
Or even have it warn you the second you write the word, instead of waiting for you to finish writing the entire thing.
*shrugs* Idk, just something that would be helpful

The filterbot is not human. In other words, it can't detect context.

Anyways, you can also suggest filterbot issues here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/235220/

The typical issue with this sort of system is that Scratchers could use this to work around the filterbot easily to say lots of bad words everywhere.

That's true. I am still wondering what happened, though - I think it was a glitch.
I said “Part 14 (11.17)” in my Notes and Credits section.
I did manage to fix it.
I fixed it by changing it to “Part l4 (11.17)”
Very confused on why I couldn't write 14 lol

if you think there was a glitch with the filter bot, you can report it on this topic.

If a kid accidentally types a bad word on accident, or even types something like “thats a bit challenging”, highlighting the bad word could cause them to learn new bad words.

might be that it's a sequence of numbers
