Idk if this has been mentioned before, but a lot of people have been experiencing the bad word detector glitch in project descriptions, including myself (but only on my main account… which is weird because I barely ever get in trouble there and the last time I accidentally got muted was like almost a year ago so I feel like I shouldn’t be having this issue there??)

For those unaware: the bad word detector glitch is when the bot detects something inappropriate in the description / comment, but there’s nothing remotely inappropriate there.

This has been REALLY bothering me for like two months now, and I’m starting to get fed up. If this issue could get fixed asap, that’d be much appreciated for the community. Or scratch could at LEAST add a feature that shows WHAT word(s) is setting off the bot so we can change it instead of having to retype the ENTIRE * description or copy and paste the description 47 times till it finally saves.

Thank you.

Yeah I agree they should fix it. It also happens in the profile bio

Showing what words triggered the filter would just show people inappropriate words, and make it much easier to bypass the filter.
