Description contains a disallowed word
It would be really helpful if we could get some useful assistance when the gallery flags a description due to a "Disallowed" word, perhaps by highlighting it. It is extremely frustrating to be unabl...

@MenaBuchner That sounds like a great suggestion! You've got my 'me too' and 'XP'! 🙌
Tip: Just in case it's of any use to you, I thought I'd share a method of troubleshooting for the 'disallowed word' that I've used.
Problem is that sometimes it's a flagged term that's a 'naughty' term in other cultures, or there's some other reason that makes no sense to us. So...
If you put the whole description in a text editor and add one word or phrase at a time and try to save until you find the word that triggered the 'disallowed word' warning.
- @SheriGR I did do that but was left with nothing that made sense to be uploaded to the gallery. Lol 😂
@MenaBuchnerand @SheriGR I agree and also clicked "Me too". I have talked to people who couldn't even upload Sims with their own real life last name! 🤭 But @SheriGR is right in that you never know what word is offensive in another language or country. There are even problems with some terms within the same language ! For example, there are some English terms that are fine to use in the United States, but not in Great Britain. 🤨😃
- @PugLove888 Agree, that is a bit crazy, but that's where I believe the home language should come in (and there is a British English & American English setting, even a South African English!). We cannot know a word is offensive or unacceptable in say, French if we're not French-speaking or even writing the description in French. I believe it should be intuitive enough to firstly consider the language setting being used, and then foreign words (other languages) and then highlighting the 'offensive' word.
