Congralations you've invented censorship, here's one dystopia as a prize.
There is no reason to ban this.

Right — I don't think we'll be getting rid of the extensions policy, but we're not going to stop people from asking us to do so. If they do ask, we'll just link them to the official notice anyway.

Seems like a weirdly specific thing for the bad word detector to catch, anyway. There's a lot of ways to say that same thing (e.g. “I don't think the new extensions policy is a good idea.”) and the bad word detector likely wouldn't catch that if all it's looking for is “Get rid of the extensions policy.” I don't think it would be very effective.

Semi Support. This may improve things, but cause other problems.

Wouldn't that just create more “protests”, so to say? Also, that's kinda.. authoritarian. No Support.

Yeah, can you please remove the extensions policy.

Sorry, I don't think we'll be doing that. We believe that the potential risks outweigh the benefits. The full explanation can be found here: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/284272/

Support. Makes project censoring a lot better.
Think of a project/comment with bad words in it. The Bad Word detector COULD scan the project or comment and remove its bad words if it's minor, but probably remove the project or comment if it's major. This is a suggestion for the project/comment censorship, lol.
Also I would think inappropriate raps from projects could also get removed.
P.S. Why not use the bad word detector for strikes you own? I think of a new block of it as well…

<bad word detector strikes = [] :: sensing>

here is the block used in script:

if <bad word detector strikes = [] :: sensing> then 
say [Sorry, we can't let bullies on this project. Come back when the bad word detector strikes have been removed!]
  

else
. . .
end

So yeah, that's the end

Doesn't that exclude people? For instance, someone might have typed something that wasn't bad, but the bad word detector gave them a strike. This would probably be a super annoying block, because you may not be able to see a project because something that you didn't even do.

Yes, it includes people, but if the bad word detector mis-scanned a project, the Scratch Team might give them an accidental report, like this:
Before:
(Insert example alert here)
After:
Hey, Scratcher, we're sorry we reported your project/comment. We've decided it does NOT harm the community guidelines, as stated in our project/comment terms. Remember, when YOU think a project is inappropriate, hit the “Report” button and tell us why. Thanks!

So is the bad word detector accidentally removed a nice project or comment, the Scratch team would notify them at first, use the bad word detector to check again, and if it DOES contain bad words, the project/comment is deleted. If it doesn't, it will keep the comment/project on the pages.

I support it mostly, but users should be able to at least minimize the bad word detector so it’s not in the way. Also, the sound might be disturbing.

They should make lmao in the bad word detector

1. I don't support this idea.
2. There is a workaround: (edit: this is kind of a workaround, not a 100% workaround)

Scratch is so safe, we need to go uphill, not downhill.

people still shouldn't swear on website in which is made for 8 to 16 year olds, 8 year olds don't need to learn swears.

Ok. So here is a situation for you. 8 year old kid, posting a comment. They post a bad word in a non-bad way, not knowing it is also a bad word. They get the alert. They see the bad word. They learn a new bad word. They start saying it in real life. Bad. Bad. Bad. Not kid friendly.

but like, they already know the swear, they just don't know it's a swear. If they used the swear in project, they will probably use it irl if they don't know it's a swear. That would probably have someone tell them it's a swear, so they would learn it's a swear anyways.

I say it would go away if you remove the swear, and come back if you put a swear back.

Please don't bump unless it has been 24 hours since the last post or this topic is on the second page.

I was just looking up bad word detector posts and I saw this.
I know this is not related but what is Bump?

No support for the ban, but support for the rest. The timeout could help give users time to reflect on their mistakes, and the alert would.help them acknowledge.

Speed bump.

Please delete that from your post and add it to your signature. Also, use a [/scratchblocks] tag to close up your [scratchblocks] tags.

support because then people who want to get rid of that extension policy will not.
