DA is already banned?

Here in suggestions, necroposting doesn't exist!

DA also has chat rooms so big support that

Full support, even though deviantart has n s f w flair most of the time posts on there arent flaired correctly. There have been multiple times when unblurred and unflaired corn have been shown on the front page of DA.

All the scratch team would have to do to ban deviantart is add a flag to the swear detection system that looks if deviantart links are posted.

Support, DeviantArt is known for being inappropriate, I don't think da should be banned though, because what if someone says something like this?

someone wrote:

I make a da pizza

and then they can't post that

da is only bad on a case-to-case basis.

You can’t post links for websites that aren’t scratch on scratch, so it’s already banned

Wrong. Youtube and turbowarp are not banned

Anyone on Scratch should use Deviantart images. If they are inappropriate, reporting is the thing to do.

No? Just post the image on a project or something, and you can report that.

I mean- if you type Deviant-Art, DeviantArt, or anything that has those two word near eachother in a comment, then you'll get muted. Same with other websites.

i mean ban like DA

I don't think you should ban acronyms unless they're a bad word. DA could be the name of someone's series or smth

Only if they mean it that way (talking to Lion)
Also:

Yeah this is like banning the word … just because of the 1st 2 letters.

I don't think that's the best example (nor most appropiate) you could give.

Maybe just ban it being mentioned for example instead of saying bla bla bla on deviant art instead just say bla bla bla off site but if someone downloads art with the example of credits I said it should be allowed and if the art is inappropriate just report it

The site being discussed here is already against the community guidelines as it allows for chat with much less moderation, private messaging and being allowed to share inappropriate (in terms of the CGs) images. If you see any users linking to that site, or any other sites that are inappropriate for Scratch then report them. I can't tell if banning it means for it to be censored from comments, but if it does, use contact us to suggest for words to be added to the filter rather than the forums.

Edit: I've seen a lot of people suggesting in this topic that “DA”, the acronym for said site should also be censored, however this would likely lead to a lot more false positives.There will always be false positives, negatives, bypasses, etc when it comes to the filter and if you do notice any people bypassing the filter then report them
