Not all boys like games where you kill things. I'm a boy and I don't like violent games at all.

Oh finally, a Scratcher remotely like me!    [/sortofofftopic]

You could use a setting to hide projects that are tagged with "violence" or whatnot, if you don't like it. Schools could save that setting as a cookie, so that all users will not see these projects. Like Parental Controls, but for Scratch.

Rico, I have a game where you shoot the other player, but the players are  dots with lines out of them and the bullets are lines.  It has no blood or anything else.  I think only extremely violent games like with realistic humans and blood should be not allowed.

What if I have a game where people need to kill these worms that are eating the rancher's live stock but guns and other weapons don't hurt them much so they need to kill them by making the worms dig out into a cliff or ramming it at full speed into concrete?

Then it would be rated Not For Everyone.

I think you should gather a bunch of scratchers toghether and send them to search for violent projects and then flag as many as they can.(or you can post reminders that tell pepol not to make violent projects.) 

Okay that's over the top. Boys like games where you kill stuff. Nuf' said.

Not all of them. 

Most of them on Scratch like platformers and such - no violence, expect maybe jumping onto a wandering baddie.

For those of you reading this, I believe that you are familiar with my project, the Naruto Christmas Special, which I must say is a project that I myself am ashamed to be associated with.  I am not a violent person by nature, and although I must say that some p[projects are certainly too violent to be published, I believe that people should recognize the freedom of others to express themselves.  Violence, while not a good thing, can neither be completely banned, nor totally erased from Scratch.  While I do intend to remove several of my projects, I must say that blocking projects on the basis of them being too violent is just as bad as banning projects becuase they aren't violent enough.  While I am, as I said, going to remove projects of mine that are too violent, it is up to the users of Scratch to maintain some level of control over the projects that they do or do not view.  Someone who is opposed to violence SHOULD NOT view a violent project, and then complain.  Forming a regime in which only projects that are devoid of any sort of violence are permissible can not end positively.  As such, I believe that, while Scratch projects should not exhibit use of drugs or alcohol, language, racial slurs, or extreme violence, I also believe that users should have some area in which they can design a project.
In conclusion, I must say that users cannot be judged on the content of their projects, and that policing he Scratch network to erase violent projects will accomplish nothing, and as such will be a useless endeavor.  Scratch was made on the basis of "Imagine-Program-Share", and it is not up to others what I, or any other Scratch user can imagine.

WHY DID YOU DELETE IT???????????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????????????????????????????????

I think it was available only on Christmas.

I'm proud I'm on Scratch - And I'm not an adult. I haven't removed any projects yet because I haven't seen any too violent games or films yet! But if I do, you can ask me for what projects I have deleted. I'll be more than glad to tell you any updated info!

So, which ones have you deleted?

IS THERE A WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP commenting on projects but let certain people comment?

Don't be silly. Of course is not a possibility.

rico, you can certainly use Scratch without using the website. You could also configure your network to disable access to a particular page (the Chinese government does it all the time    )

Wow , racist...

that is not racist.

1) chinese is a nationality, not a race
2) the chinese government is an organization, not a race
3) what he said is true

your point is invalid. please don't "play the race card" when it isn't valid.

1) True.
2) Country government-ist then. No less offensive and you know it.
3) Again, I will not deny this. However, it's still a low blow against a country's government. It's still just as wrong. And:

Along with the lack of mention of Bahrain, Belarus, Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam, according to Wikipedia. And in the list at http://en.rsf.org/press-freedom-index-2009,1001.html it would appear that, around the time it was posted, Laos, Cuba, Burma, Iran, Turkmenistan, North Korea, and Eritrea (in reverse order of severity, i.e. Eritrea the worst, North Korea second, etc.) were even worse than China in terms of this. Now, the post was made in February, so it might be a few months later, but I can't find one for 2008, but my point has still been made.

Does it seem less justified now?

well, I think you should let the students watch them, because at some point in their life, they're going to be watching R-rated movies. Plus, it's okay as long as they're being creative. I mean if they watch projects with scripts like this

when i receive [4 v]
wait [2] secs
say [die, random people!] for [3] secs
broadcast [explode_sprite1's_head v]
