what about this?

add (join [(bad words)] [literally anything]) to [list v]
Same thing as the say block with join, I'm guessing.
fair enough

A much better solution is just
<is [] bad word?::sensing>
I don't really support the idea, though.

I find it very reasonable for someone to want to make it so that people cannot put innapropriate text into their game, even if it wasn't a cloud game!
Not really - if someone were to type offensive text in, it would only really affect them.
Meanwhile, what if “cat” was offensive and filtered, so you ended up not being able to put “Catcher” in a text box? That would obviously be a problem.

No Support
This can be used to teach kids bad words, and not every filter is perfect.
Plus this can be used to make chat rooms.

1. That doesn't mean people would want to allow them to put such text into their project though.
2. Thats unrelated to the suggestion, its the project creator's problem in that case.

This just sounds ambiguous and like no other block.

Doesn't seem helpful other than the one random paranoid person that people will what… put inappropriate things into their local project??


Also, parents might see this and now be upset.


Also this would just encourage cloud chats because people would think it's okay because this block exists.



also wasnt this rejected…

The issues I see with this are (as pointed out above multiple times) that there's no need for this block on a non-cloud variable project as the only person seeing entered text is the person running the project locally. And for cloud projects, it would only be useful for chat projects - which are not allowed anyway.

So - cool idea - but no thanks
