Updated my filter demo. I added wildcard support, so "?badword?" would match "superbadword", "badwords", etc. It also uses a simple but more or less irreversible hash function now, so I went ahead and loaded it with hashes of real swears. Have fun.

I strongly recommend the Flash player, but if you can't use that, at least use Turbo.

I took a look.
It was rather interesting, and quite effective, but you could still 'post' profanity by adding symbols in between the letters of words, such as (if 'scratch' was a swear) 's.cratch'.

In the morning I'll get to work on a censor that will also censor "Scr@tch", "S.cratch", etc. (assuming "Scratch" is a swear word), and then share it, so people can use it.

EDIT; It's harder than I first thought it would be... I'm gonna carry on trying though.

NeilWest, that's not a bad idea. I really hope they have download locks in 2.0. XD

They won't.

Aww, how come? :U

The motto and core values of Scratch are 'Imagine Program Share.' Download locks would interfere with the 'Share' portion.

Then people would just enter a different answer when asked for their name...

However, it would help prevent 'duplicate' games, and you could also have a lock which could allow certain people (i.e: friends, test accounts, people with permission).

Check out this project, it gives an example of what you should do when someone is spamming up your chatrooms:

In any case, users could simply type in a fake username.

Perhaps IP Addresses? It's a possible solution.

Unfortunately, I highly doubt there'll ever be a reporter block which reports the IP address (that's you meant, right?). If a user gave their username, and you stored their IP along with it, it'd be a massive security risk. :L

some projects do have download locks. I read somewhere that Wes64's 'Spectrum' was locked so that if someone downloaded it and tried to upload it as a duplicate, it wouldn't work.

Edit: Whoa-100th post! woohoo

It's possible, by making Scratch close when the green flag is clicked, although it is discouraged.

It isn't exactly locked. I found a glitch that if I edit a giant image and then click OK without making any changes, sometimes the image shrinks by over 200kb. So I shrank a ton of images this way and was able to get under 10mb. But If you download it, the shrinking is undone so it becomes larger than 10mb.

I didn't mean to prevent remixing, I just needed to get under 10mb.

oh. that's cool!
