@eanders-ms Are you able to look this up and figure out why it might have been deleted, by chance?

Hi @psmithCN. It looks like our automated content filtering system flagged the project as potentially inappropriate. This might be a false positive. Unfortunately, we don't have a way to know what triggered it, but we can remove the flag manually. Please take a moment to review the code and strings in the game to ensure there’s in fact nothing inappropriate. Once you've completed the review, let us know, and we can manually restore the share link.

Hi Eric,

Thank you so much, would you be able to share the list of strings or values that come up as inappropriate?

We don't need this resolved any more, as it seemed to self-resolve when we tried it on a different person's account a few days later, (and once it was up it was never removed) But we're still interested in why this project kept getting removed, since it could happen again.

Here's a copy of the project that kept getting removed- https://arcade.makecode.com/S04244-24229-48490-19789

Thank you again

I'm glad the issue has been resolved! Unfortunately, we don't receive specific details about what triggers a takedown, so I don't have that information to share.

[psmithCN]

Understood. In the project copy I sent you, is there anything that stands out as inappropriate?

[kiki-lee]

The only thing I could think of is that there were a couple areas of random-looking characters that may have changed between accounts?

It's possible that these randomly created a naughty word somewhere?

[psmithCN]

Possible! Strange that it happened multiple times. I'll keep you posted if we encounter it again, thank you!
