Similar to @anon91910826, I decided to make a topic, but instead of for unlounging, it is for reporting any projects of yours that are stuck in the filter. I, similar to Gobli, have gotten a little sick of seeing topic after topic saying that “it’s in the filter” or “others can’t see my project” under the Bugs category.
So, if you have a project that is stuck in the filter, please list the link here.
(@hopscotch-curators can you put this on “watching”?)
Before you post, make sure it is actually stuck. It is only stuck if you cannot see it in your favorites after liking it and if Safari gives a 404.
I will also compile a list of random words that get stuck in the filter (that don’t seem to be bad words)

This post has been retired of its original purpose. You can find a list of regularly updated words at my HS Tools GitHub page. For the time being, some other useful information will be held in this post.
Rules of Filtered Words
Rule 1: Like-Items
One entry in the list of filtered terms may have commas separating words or phrases. A phrase is indicated with quotes, and the commas indicate that all phrases and quotes within this entry will get filtered.
Rule 2: Filtering Phrases
Entries with this tag indicate that the words only get filtered if it is present as a phrase. For example, phone and number are not blocked, but “phone number” is blocked. Phrases are either the whole line (when 2 is the only rule and there are no commas) or each set of quotes indicates a phrase inside of it (when rule 1 applies).
Rule 3: Acceptable Alternate Forms
Alternate forms of these words are not filtered. For example, burned is filtered, but burn and burning are not caught in the filter. The same rule applies with “copying” among other words
Rule 4: The Curse of Embedding
One of the words in your project has a bad word in English contained in it. Even though there were no words, the filter worked like this: say “poop” is a bad word.
Poopsiehfoaejflffjae gets filtered
Sdofiesofjaeojfipoop gets filtered
Sdgpoopsfgkghskh gets filtered
(See this post on the GPUT for the original example.)
Updating a project does NOT remove it from the filter. To unfilter it, you will have to either wait for THT to remove it from the filter or unpublish & republish the project

@tankt2016 These are words that get caught in app filter, not forum filter?

@ThinBuffalo You published a project on HS with the word “Chest” and it got stuck? odd
10 Likes
Yes. My Pirate Adventure text adventure project has the text “Treasure Chest”. Sam informed me that the latter word caused it to be filtered (I assume due to the possible anatomical usage)

I’d assume that reason as well, but that is kinda odd
maybe only filter that as a phrase if possible @Ana?

@hopscotch-curators Can you put this topic on “Watching”
8 Likes
Oh why is everyone putting topics on watching now
I’ll be watching them anyway, I won’t need some computer program to give me heads ups
It’ll be so time consuming to change all the topics to Tracking oof
