Solution for NewScratcherStatus in international forums
We never had the problem of spamming and trolling in the german forum. But because you solved the problem in the english forums by inventing the NewScratcherStatus, we now have a problem with people that rarely or never post in english language: How could this german kids gain their ScratcherStatus? There seem to be no clear rules for it.
And a second thing: You banned regular german words, because that are bad word in english: The German word D-a-m-i-t is very common, see here and has no bad meaning, but we only see * when we type it at the german forum.
Thank you in advance for a Solution!

That's actually a very good point, which I hadn't thought of before; foreign people are at a disadvantage, since they may he extremely active in the other language forums, yet the mods won't notice

Re: Solution for NewScratcherStatus in international forums
Well, maybe we can loosen up on the censoring a bit. A better solution would be to have censors individualized for each language...however that is not a feature of this forum software.
As for graduating from New Scratcher to Scratcher - there is no reason that I can think of why you should be having trouble graduating members. It requires a certain amount of activity, both in the forums and on the main site - but there is no reason that people using the Scratch in Other Languages forums shouldn't be able to satisfy them. If you have examples, perhaps you can have them use the Contact Us form and we'll look into them for you.

Re: Solution for NewScratcherStatus in international forums
Hi Paddle,
ok, the problem was, that we do not know ( as almost everybody ) how the graduating system exactly works (not manually?) and so we were not sure, if it also works for german scratchers. The german thread that raised that question is here and the thread-initiator xJira was the new scratcher who was asking...
The censoring of the german word da-mit is an other question...german scratcher have nearly get used to spell it with hyphen in the forum ;-)

But Damit isn't a bad word! It's not even in the dictionary! See, I wrote it!

Yes, now you can write "damit", but yesterday you could'nt. I'm sure: We evan got an entry in our DACH-Scratch-Wiki about that problem with the German word "damit" (here). Somebody must have changed ist from yesterday to today. @Paddle: Did you change that?
