The filter system is not able to decipher the intention of a comment when searching for inappropriate content -- which means that it sometimes flags content that is okay for the Scratch website. We realize this may be frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. You can learn more about the filter system here.

When you are muted, you'll see a window that explains why your comment was flagged. Built into this window is a link to a feedback form. If you think the system has made a mistake, we would really appreciate your feedback--the Scratch Team will take a look at the feedback Scratchers provide and use it to make the system better.
