Notice about Module validation

Add-ons addons.mozilla.org
#1

Hi,

I have a notice that I don’t understand when my module FOE Sniffer has been validated :
1 Notice Violation of Mozilla conditions of use. script foe_content.js
I can’t find where I’m not in the Mozilla conditions of use in my module.
This notice doesn’t give any detail about that.
Maybe a english bad word in a javascript variable name (I’m french)?
Could you help me to fix that ?

Thanks

Fred

Hi @FreddyP! The validator will show that warning if you use a term that matches a term we monitor for potential abuse, regardless of context. The list of terms that get flagged can be found here: https://github.com/mozilla/addons-linter/blob/master/src/badwords.json

That warning will not prevent you from publishing or updating your extension on addons.mozilla.org (AMO), though we will remove your extension from AMO if we find that it does not comply with Mozilla’s Conditions of Use.

Hi @caitlin,

Thanks for your answer :slight_smile:
Finally, I’ve found origine of the notice (I hope) : This kind of line, because of variable name “kkk”
for (var kkk=1; kkk<mywidth; kkk++) {

LOL !

happy to fix this :slight_smile:

Nice!

FYI, the use of “kkk” in that context isn’t a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, but changing that variable will prevent future warnings about Acceptable Use during validation. :wink:
