Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.

Would you be able to edit it? How would username links and link links work?
No support until you can convince me to.

The parents would have to edit it so the child doesn`t see a bunch of bad words.

Its supposed to be 60.
But you`re a new scratcher.
I moved accounts.
I don`t care.

Bad words are already censored, this would just be additional.

I think it applies to the forums too, otherwise it doesn't seem fully functional.

Why'd you snip my post-

The swear-words they don't censor are words that will appear in books they read in school.

Honestly I see more abuse to this system than benefits.

In a reputable school they would not read a book with profanity of any kind in.
Some parents would go ballistic if they hear their child swear, and even more so if they said they learnt it off of Scratch. It would loose it's reputation, scratch would be ruined. How could you abuse this system. No-one except you will see the words censored.

no support. i don't see why this would be useful in the long run.

I go to a reputable school and the book we are currently reading as a class includes swearing. However in a Primary School you would not want to give kids books with swearing.

-Homophobes censoring anything related to LGBT+ (ex. gay, lesbian, trans)
- Other people censoring literally everything to be funny.
- People censoring people's users because they're “mad” at them.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows includes the B word.

One of the books I read in 5th grade included “hell” (but in the context it was in was religious.) The school I attended was reputable.
edit: how did i mess up the bbc i do not know

The “swear words” that they rejected censoring are not defined as swear words by most people, like “frick”, “*”, etc. Those words aren't considered swear words, and are used in media made for children, like TV shows, movies, books, etc. This isn't affecting Scratch's reputation as a child-friendly website.

ResExsention

Ehhh, semi support.

Would be cool, but not important. Would let you customise your own filter so that words you find offensive can be blocked, even for discriminatory purposes, since you're not exactly putting down others if you keep that fact private.

Of course, flaunting what you have censored (“I've blocked the word ‘religion’ because I think ███████████”) will always be reportable.

i agree. this would make scratch much more child-friendly.

You could just censor someone's username to effectively block them, as you shouldn't be able to see usernames with words you have censored, right?

I go to a secondary school and not once have we read a book with any sort of swearing in.
