If someone's bypassing the filter, just report them?
Also, there are a lot of cursed text versions, finding and blacklisting all of them would take a lot of time.

Instead of blocking cursed text, I think the filter should just convert it to normal text.

This way, it can block any bad words, and people won't get stopped from saying innocent things.

I do agree that “zalgo” text can be disruptive to the flow of a page. I think that you should report that regardless of whether or not it breaks any other rules, but I guess we'll have to ask a Scratch team member. -snip-

It can, but I disagree with you on that first part of the second sentence. Unless it is intentionally breaking rules, I would warn, then report if the warning is not heeded.

Support if this is how that works:

1. Somebody posts a glitch text comment
2. The filter checks what it is in normal text and might remove parts or send an alert if it finds something
3. The comment is posted as glitch text.

This way it doesn't alter legitimate uses of glitch text but it filters out inappropriate glitch text.

This will like take down 99.9% of aesthetic projects
Maybe that’s an exaggeration but still
A lot of aesthetic scratchers use those fonts (usually not the glitched ones, but other ones such as small text) in bios, projects, etc, it’s not fair to ruin it for everyone else just because some people abuse it. The report button exists anyways.

They’re talking about Zalgo text — the one that overlays combining characters to make it look glitchy (e̸̯͂x̷̧̃a̴̩̒m̵̙͗p̷̥̌l̶̼̏ē̷̡).

Small capitals, small text & all the others are not combining characters, as they do not affect the character in before. So if you mean any of these (ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ, ᵉˣᵃᵐᵖˡᵉ, ₑₓₐₘₚₗₑ), this topic isn’t about that.
