they should just have a warning or something in the notes

That wouldn't work.

Firstly, most people don't even GLANCE at the project notes, and secondly, even if they do, what's to stop them viewing it?

If a parent saw a project with inappropriate language in, they may not allow their child to join.

Or they could just not post it. Just because they put a warning doesn't mean kids will listen to the warning.

Maybe projects with certain words in the title/project notes should automatically have to go through moderation before being viewable. It seems this is already happening with comments, as one of the things I commented was automatically deleted. (I have no idea why)

By the way, there's a lot of music out there that's way more awesome than rap and stuff.

That is opinion, you can't ban some songs because there's "better songs" than them. Some people like rap, they can get a censored version, why does anyone say "heck" or "crud" when that's a replacement for more "serious" swears? Some people LIKE that sort of music, I like '90s gangsta rap from Eazy-E, if I wanted to make a gangsta game I would use a censored version as there's not many other genres as gangsta as gangsta rap. Just because in your opinion, you don't like the music doesn't mean even the censored version should be banned, or we'll end up with lots of people fighting over what music is the best for Scratch.

I don't see the problem.

Kids listen to this stuff ALL THE TIME, and still don't notice.
They aren't going to repeat bad words or anything, so why should it matter?

Besides, most kids here are above the age of 7, and there are rarely anyone below 5, although it could happen.

I think you are just overreacting, ALL songs are bad when you truley think about it (except, of course, those stupid 'Barney' songs and such.)

People swear ALL over projects, and nobody ever flags, so why should we start flagging darn SONGS?

This really got me mad, sorry. 
Also, sorry for posting on something that's kinda old. xD

It's okay if you use the instrumental versions of the song, right?

okay I SWEAR if someone blocks through the fire and flames I think i might black out and wake up outside a burned down house. same with any linken park and i will really freak if it's remember the name.

i found a long time ago an innapropiate project. I think it might of been removed. well back to the topic, anyway yes i think it should be fixed. or atleast more mods check project more.

We do, but sometimes it's hard to find things like this: for example, it's possible some of the inappropriate bad songs uploaded have a clean version of the lyrics or are edited so only a small clip of it is used. Mods often have to listen through the whole song to make sure it's okay for the site, and that can be time consuming when considering that there are other projects to monitor and other projects to take care of.

For the most part, for anyone who encounters a project with questionable music, then it should be flagged with a short clear explanation of what is objectionable in the project.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter if the words are censored. If you can tell what was originally there, it's still inappropriate. Also, a song doesn't necessarily have to have swearing to be inappropriate. Some songs just have a bad... style. I'm not sure how to put it. Of course, there's also songs that are written in a sort "coded" language, and although they don't have bad words, they mean something inappropriate.

Censored and 'coded' songs would only be flagged if it is bad for the younger users to hear, but if it doesn't say anything explicitly, then they wouldn't understand it anyway. And about the style, you can't really flag a project because the music doesn't suit your taste. But if you see a song with inappropriate language it in, then you should report it.

But what if a younger user has an older sibling? There are some other reasons why younger users would know what it means.  And besides, if they didn't now what it meant then they might search it online and hear the original song and If they didn't know what swear words meant they wouldn't know they were bad and I don't think their parents would be to happy if they went around saying them.

Oh....

If a kid shouldn't say it then it's not appropriate and should be flagged.
