inappropriate language block

i think their should be a block that stands for every and all swear words that Scratch forbids here is how it would work.
the block

(inappropriate language)
here is how it could be used to prevent abuese with cloud variables.
ask [how are you] and wait
if <(answer) contains (inappropriate language)>
set [mood(cloud) v] to [*]
else
set [mood (cloud) v] to (answer)
EDIT
as is if the block is used in a form as
say (inappropriate language)
it will say {sensored}

Code:

Re: inappropriate language block

I don't think that will be very useful. Also, the swear words would be in the source.

Re: inappropriate language block

Maybe the cloud variables should always be automatically censored?

Re: inappropriate language block

Also, if "inappropriate language" is a variable then you could just:

say (inappropriate language)
it would require censoring on the say block too, meaning this would automatically be done.

Re: inappropriate language block

There are ways to circumvent this.

Imagine 'Scratch' was a profanity.

Users could type:

S.C.R.A.T.C.H
SCR_ATCH
5RA7CH
SSCCRRAATTCHH

etc.

Re: inappropriate language block

I'll be honest, I swear in projects all of the time, I find it funny and it's not like it's hurting anyone since only I can see it. I'm sure I'm not the only one either. Instead of blocking the language, they should just have a chance to publish variables to the cloud or not. Those who are sensible won't publish swear words (and they can probably be tracked and banned if they do).

Did you forget?  tongue  I don't see why it belongs there anyway though.

This would be pointless, in my opinion. People would just do what trinary said.

I think it is a good idea because there are 5 year olds on this site and if someone entered a bad word and it was on a cloud variable everyone could see it UNLESS there was an inappropriate language block.

I would like this block:

(swear word)
It would make it a lot easier to keep cuss words out of projects since there'll be cloud variables.
Plus, the ST wouldn't allow you to put swear words in your projects in you project's blocks.
So it would change it from this:
If < not < (answer) = [Bad word here]>>
Add (answer) to [chat v]
end
To this:
If < not <(answer) = (swear word)>>
Add (answer) to [chat v]
end

I saw that! I think slayerrobe7 just wanted to make a whole suggestion topic about it.

Than you can set the filter on in your own project but it would help if someone did s.w.e.a.r

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I can plan for stuff like that, but I need the block.

No...
How can I use variables without anyone finding out what swear word equals?
I could always go through a decrypting process but that would be difficult and I'd need multiple variables.

Re: inappropriate language block

This is a solution where you can't retrieve the swear words unless by source code.

if <(answer) contains a swear word>
say [Don't cuss.] 
else
say [Yay.]
end
But still, I don't like the idea of an inappropriate language block because it may create disrespect, especially by translators since they'd have to translate swear words into their foreign language.
