Scratch

Should this be bumped?

Should a snowman be made of snow?

(in other words. BUMP!)

No, it should be made out of fire, then it'd be a fireman! *ba-dum tissss*

Nope. Younger children shouldn't be denied from seeing projects.

*facepalm* ... but the parent would be allowed to say weather they could or not.
Do i have to explain this all again or will you just read my posts. XD

A project could be rated by the uploader. If a project with "13+ recommended" or "17+ only" is found by a kid you could either:

A) Set up an honorary system which could easily be bypassed.

or

B) Have an age verification that asks a few questions to determine age.

Does that mean you support?

An age thing would be better, the parent would set the age when signing up if they really didn't want their kid to see any blood.

That is basically what this is.

You tell me, does that mean you support? 

I support and don't support.

I don't support because This goes against Scratch's motto, imagine, program, share because you can't share the projects with everyone!! It also would take alot more moderators to keep up with the teens! And because I couldn't view 50% of the projects on here  because I'm not considered a "teen", (i'm 10) I'm technically a "preteen."
For example:
Let's imagine that this system was in place. Then, I lied about my age when making my account because I knew about the system and wanted to see some projects that have blood, gore, and mild language. Anyone can lie about their age just to be able to have more things that they can view on Scratch if this was in place!

I support because this would encourage people to have projects with "clean" content in order to be able to get more views, love-it's, and downloads.

I lied about my age when registering for Scratch so that I could use MY email, mot my MOM'S! My friend (her username is MATH1PLUS1) did the same.

-10 and +1 on this. You shouldn't split the community into little kids and teenagers!! But this would encourage prople to put appropriate things onto Scratch website!!!

I support. I think swearing should still be not allowed. I think just a simple ages 13+ thing by the project would be good.

i disagree i use swear words in my projects all the time! God! its just a [removed] project! we're not breaking the  [removed]  law!!!! 

Even if it's not against the law, it's against the guidelines, and it's wrong to expose children of as young as five years old to words like the ones you used in your post just then.

Maybe so, users could know what their limits are by filling a content questionare, eg do you like the sight of blood? etc and the person who made a projec
t could mark what content it has in it so people who wouldn't have liked it don't view it in the first place

I support; however, many people on Scratch lie about their age.

Actually, I take back my post... maybe someone could get scratches script and run a scratch teen kinda website?

scratchteen.mit.edu ?

EDIT:
I made a new website!

scratchteens.weeby.com

How is it?
