Hi! i'm there to suggest you to add a new block
Recently, i made a chatbot (Evelyn)… it's supposed to answer messages…. but a lot of users insulted her (Evelyn)…. and she can't answer these messages because she doesn't know the volcabulary…. So i would like to be able to filter messages and to detect “bad words”
I know that blacklists are not allowed in a scratch project because anyone can see them with “see inside”.
However, in the comment section, messages are filtered by an internal blacklist…..

So here is my idea :

<[thing] contains bad word:: sensing>

It would be a block, made by the scratch team, that returns true if a word is considered as a “bad word”.
it would use the same blacklist as in the comment section and would not appears in the “lists”.
By this way, we would be able to moderate our project and no one would be able to see inside the hidden black list….

Having no see inside is rejected. Anyways, no support, just create a whitelist.

Imagine JDKOGFJ is a bad word.
If an user sees inside the project and then finds this block
They see the bad word and then it would be the same thing.

Was it ever mentioned?

uh why testing a fix value?
it would be used like this :

ask [type something] and wait
if <blacklist contains (answer)> then
say [hey! be respectfull please!] for (2) secs
end

I do. But having no “See Inside” is not allowed. And I said, just create a whitelist.

they are not talking about chattroms, but about chatbots

Ah, true. Guess I support, it's a nice feature and would help in making chatbots more clever.

Having “No See Inside” is rejected still.

sorry but you don't…. i don't ask to remove the “see inside” but just the access to the “official blaclist block” content….

That kind of breaks the sharing aspect of Scratch.

oooh maaaaannnn……… hiding the content from a list containing bad word would be “breaking the sharing aspect of scratch”?? wow

Kind of arguable for a chatbot to need a black OR whitelist considering it's just a bot (unless it saves answers like cleverbot) but I support this.

Evelyn would need that

Full support, thought if I were to do it, it would be connected to the Scratch word filter, and the offline editor would have support to download and encrypt the list of bad words in order for offline functionality. Here's how I'd do the block (with a different color, don't use the SB alot on forums, so please fix it)

([thing] contains bad word :: sensing)

edit: thanks for fixing not me you me

wouldn't downloading the blacklist be super bad tho? idk if they'd actually be able to see the bad words since I'm not a computer geek
btw, if you're showing a reporter you have to put the :: inside the brackets

No, they'd be hidden in the source code. Only downloading it would just add support for the 3.0 offline editor.

Semi support, going off of the current cloud situation I don't think this would be all too useful but having a unviewable blacklist inbuilt to the code would be a lot more useful than trying to whitelist everything you can think of.

H…how do you know that users insuled her…?

Anyways, no support as you could just create a List containing keywords
