Does someone other than me not understand the last three posts?

this block is good

go to url [www.google.com]

No it is not. See:

go to url [virusvirus.bad]//Not a real address
go to url [swearmeanstuff.bad]//Not a real address

it would be neat if the url block could be implemented and only be usable for scratch pages, eg the wiki, other projects, etc. then i wouldnt have to haphazardly toss links into the project notes.

Who would want to do that, and why?

These can be used in an abusive manner, I highly dissagree that these should be added. 

That is the equivalent of creating a sprite, costume, background, etc. that shows something inappropriate/abusive. Does that mean we should not have those? And why would this block in particular be used for hurting people?

I'll give you 5 reasons why this block in particular could be used for hurting people:
1. search [pornography] on [google], search [swear here] on [google], search [computer virus] on [google]
2. forever search something (crash someone's browser)
3. Sometimes, even when you search something that shouldn't bring up bad stuff, bad stuff comes up anyways. Also, some sites may contain malware, inappropriate advertisements, swearing, etc. even if most of the site is okay.
4. Things like LOLCats are usually appropriate, but sometimes they can have things like bad words in them.
5.

Safe search isn't as reliable as you think. I've gotten inappropriate results even with it on. If you enter a keyword that is itself inappropriate, I think you will get at least some inappropriate results.

Lots of people, called trolls.
Why are they trolls? Answer me that. I know a lot about the internet, you know. It's not like I never heard of trolls.
I can't read people's minds, but people are trolls because maybe they think it's funny or they just want to annoy people.

Actually, it isn't the equivalent.  Having a person's browser go to a website can cause the person's computer to be infected with a virus, and their password could be phished somehow.  Also, the ST can at least control what's on the website; they can't control the whole internet
I meant the offensive content.
It's true that you can put offensive stuff in costumes, sprites, etc. but it's much easier to put a large amount of that content on a whole site. Plus you can put a virus on their computer.

My comments ^^

big colorful quote trains... this is getting serious

my opinion on this function is that it would be safe if only scratch-related pages were allowed.

otherwise it is dangerous to be able to link anywhere. even though you could flag the project, viruses/malware/whatever else should definitely be avoided.

At least try to understand people, and your efforts will be rewarded with insight. Well then, how is it funny for them? How come they want to annoy people?

No, it's not, because then you have to make a site.

Huh. Well, I had to delete a few layers of quotes.

making a site is actually quite easy if you've ever heard of Weebly. And like I said before, I'm not a mindreader. I can't tell why people want to be trolls. If you can do better than me at reading people's minds, then go ahead.

People probably wouldn't use it anyways, so the effort that it would take to create such a block wouldn't really pay off anyways.

MIT can control MIT stuff.  MIT can't control teh internetz.  Thus, no support.

I'd assume it's probably something similar to trolls, or maybe someone was just bored.

lalala3 asked why people were trolls. like i know
