Sometimes when you get muted, it can be confusing as to why. If you blatantly cuss, it's not, but sometimes (due to some flaws with the filter) it can be hard to tell why you were muted. Some completely normal phrases are banned for inappropriate meanings some users may not understand.
Instead of confusing users, why not tell them what they said was wrong?
How about a system that takes the curse or inappropriate term out from the comment and says something like “words that caused this mute: {foul language}”.
It's a little hard to describe so I made a mockup that you can view here (it's safe btw). For safety reasons, I removed the original thing I muted myself for (yes I sacrificed my alt for five minutes *sob*) and replaced it with a normal sentence. Pretend that the words “cat” and “dog” are cusses (again, this is a mockup, I'm not suggesting cat and dog to be labeled as cusses, I'm just using them as an example).

This was horribly worded but the mockup should break it down visually, anyway thxs

Semi-support, while I'm pretty sure most people would figure out why they've been muted, some extra clarity on the mute might be nice.

IDK why this isn't rejected at this point, so many similar topics have come up, and all of them have been met with the same response. (One even had lil' timmy doing the telling)

I do not think it should be implemented, for it can cause younger users to learn terms that may break the community guidelines

But if they said them in the first place then they won't learn the terms.

I'm pretty sure that this is rejected because it will help people figure out how to bypass the filter

I read through tolors and im rpetty sure i saw it

Support.
I don’t know why this is in TLORS. I don’t think that younger people think about their actions as much as older generations did (not to be rude or anything.)
I know that the ST doesn’t like to un-reject suggestions on TLORS, but this is a necessary one.
This should also apply to alerts and bans (as has been suggested by countless others in the recent months.)

If it is then that sucks

But if you are trying to bypass the filter you are already locked in on the target word

Support, I really need to stop getting muted

I accidentally posted from my alt account so I am re-posting it on my main instead

I think I just found the entry that rejects this suggestion, but I still cannot believe that people tend to not notice it from reading the replies, I thought people would already know by now that this suggestion is rejected?

6.5 Detailed information on why a comment was filtered
Some Scratchers have suggested that the filter should be more clear by showing which letters/words tripped the filter. However, such a suggestion would make it easier to write comments or forums posts that are disrespectful or inappropriate but do not trip the filter. When a Scratcher is prevented from posting a comment or forum post due to the filter, the Scratch Team wants to encourage them to think carefully about why, so that they can refrain from writing similar comments or posts in the future.

I feel like they don’t do that because then people would find bypasses. They could try multiple bypasses until they find one which they don’t have to because the scratch filters are extremely easy to bypass (Example. : ď!s€ord) but it could be an answer to why they haven’t done that

FULL SUPPORT .

so… this suggestion is already rejected.

Support, I got muted once and it didn't even tell me what I said that broke the community guidelines
