No, not with a few scripts in a project, but built in to all projects. If it detects a swear word in a list, answer, variable, or anything, it bleeps it out. Even if the bad word is like this: waeojfhawejfhewJKF(SWEAR WORD GOES HERE)fijaehfewkalfhaewuo

What about if I said something like “skyscraper”? Then the middle of the word would be censored.

Hm…

What if there were a “censor( )” block that would check if a certain string contained an offensive word and would return a boolean value. Then you could implement your own censoring where you want it. If you were making a program that used string seeds for random generation it would be pretty annoying to have scratch mess with your variables because it thinks you are hosting a vulgar chatroom or something.

Maybe.

Not a boolean, a string. Then censor(what the *swear* just happened) would return “what the This word has been removed because multiple Scratch members considered it innapropriate for the Scratch community. Please read the terms of use or contact us for more info. Thank you, and Scratch On! just happened” and send the user who swore a nice little message about language.

I made one on scratch 1.4, just never shared it. Anyways, HOW I DID IT: http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/10068745/ (to make it do longer and shorter, add/delete if's!)

Nice!

You might want to think about what type of filters you want to put in. these things are not always straight forward.

Lol. How about just “what the just happened”?

Less removed project nostalgia.

i feel like this should be implemented because chatroom projects, even though i assume you'll discourage them, will not be immediately removed and thus they could potentially be easily taken advantage of without a filter. just for a little added safety. we'll have to avoid the scunthorpe problem though.

additionally, with the added visibility that comes with the “see inside” button, we should make sure swear words are never used as variables, comments, or other internal data. i have actually seen, in the past, a user who named lots of the variables with swear words to be funny.

Erm, BoltBait said there already was a built in filter.

I think some users forget that there are-like-7 years olds on Scratch

I've created one that I have put into a game and will be out soon

No support. The list would be very long, and people would find a way to cheat it, like this-

S-T-U-P-I-D

STUUPID

Don't get any ideas.

Also, the censor might block out harmless words, like with jvvg's example-

That would become this-
