Censor Problems.

What I noticed is that you can say "hell",dam" (in comments,not descriptions),and * in comments and descriptions,but not [removed by Moderator]!?!?! Scratch really needs to either unblock those words,or block the profanities, am I right!?!?!?

Re: Censor Problems.

Well, Hell isn't a curse when referring to the Inferno, * isn't when referring to the farm animal, yet the others have no purpose but swearing.

Re: Censor Problems.

Isn't a dam a large water storage related thing?

Re: Censor Problems.

There's a difference between "dam" and that but with an 'n' on the end yes... A dam stops water from passing through and to be * means to be sentenced to hell...

A lot of these words have two meanings, one not being a swear-word...

Re: Censor Problems.

We never claimed that we were consistent  smile

It is kind of a pain though.  Maybe when Scratch gets an upgrade we can address some of those small issues.  In the meantime, please keep the conversation polite and don't use censored words.

Re: Censor Problems.

Those aren't swear word's if you are using them correctly, although people might use them in a bad way.  hmm

Quite a lot of people use them in a good way.
People shouldn't be not allowed to use words just because some people abuse them.

You can type a really offensive sentence without swear words, it doesn't mean that all words are banned.

Re: Censor Problems.

The word 'grapes' is censored in comments. In general, it's not a huge issue, but it shows that the censor filter isn't really that good.

Re: Censor Problems.

Yeah. There are a lot of problems with the filter. 'Hell' probably should be blocked. "Dam" shouldn't be, because there might be a collaboration where a Scratcher would say, "What if we put a dam at the far side of the pond?". And "*", well, no one uses that word for donkeys anymore, so that should, too, be blocked.

I know, @$$, dam/\/, it's crazy.

It'd be much easier if Scratch could sense if people were doing that too.

Yes,but you can't type the "D" word(as some would call it) in anything but comments!
I typed "Dam" Because I couldn't type the real thing.

What I hate most is if there's a screenshot using them in not a "bad" way, it's still removed for a "bad" word.

b------ sword is an actual term, and it was removed for "offensive language".

Re: Censor Problems.

In my view there should be some words that should be St*red on it's publishing but can also be put to editorial review otherwise.
