Block this phrase from project titles

musicROCKS013

So… You may know about a popular scratch browser extension (let's call it qwerty, just to avoid naming it). This is the extension that gives you dark mode, a pause button, and has a block count on your projects, just so we're clear about what I'm talking about. If you don't know what I'm referring to, don't ask, and move onto another discussion.

Due to this policy, naming browser extensions is not allowed. However, when I searched the name of said extension it wasn't blocked! In fact, there were many projects named this. Even searching part of this name can bring results with the whole name.

Now, “qwerty” is banned from regular comments. If you say the name you will get muted. That is why I was so surprised to see so many projects still up.

So, this is my suggestion: Disallow projects from using this in the title or description, or at the very east NFE those that do.

I know this is already a rule that you can't put “qwerty” anywhere on the site, but please add it to the filter for project titles as well.

Edit: title chnaged. Removed “NFE or” from the beginning

Edit: Added Blocking the description

The must have some way to keep you from naming your project swears and such.

Yes. I just checked and named a random unshared project something pretty bad and it said that the title wasn't appropriate for Scratch

I also think this should be added to the studio filter name too. I checked, and apparently there is at least one studio with the name in the title and description.

There's a lot of them.

For convenience, you can call it temporary attachment.

Even though I use “qwerty”, I think this would help the Scratch Team accomplish their goals. In fact, I might just report this to see what a moderator thinks… But perhaps not.

You know what's weird? I suggested this already, and they closed my topic as resolved but never actually did it, or at least that's my knowledge.

that's weird

anyway, support, why should project titles have more freedom than commenters and forum users?

technically the forums don't censor qwerty, so they have more freedom ig

It isn't called qwerty, that's just what we're calling it to avoid naming it. I'm frankly sure you have the extension in question, but I can't be 100% sure.

yeah I do. I would've said it to prove that the forums allow it to be said but

I know this'll get removed but eh
(removed by moderator - please don't name browser extensions)

EDIT: I KNEW IT

they still removed it
it's as if they didn't even read the post

Dude.

Also, I’m talking about project titles, not the forums.

do project titles and comments use the same filter?
edit: apparently not. I could type it fine
this also isn't in the filter for instructions and notes and credits

Apparently not… although maybe projects with this title were made before an update..?

Edit: I’ve seen people muted for saying [the second word of the name] in the BaG sticky, so I’m sure there’s SOMETHING in the filter about it.

I think it's just the comment filter. I was able to type it literally everywhere I could see except there
