Words on Scratch Forums that aren't allowed!

Thre are a lot of words on the Scratch forums that arent allowed. Like s u c k.  I used it in a forum saying that black holes s u c k you up (not in a bad way!)
A few days later I replied to that topic again, and was surprised to see that particular word turn into an asterisk!
I also wanted to present my other question:
When should I flag comments on projects? Some words are bad, but are they bad enough to get flagged?

All I'm going to say is that I think they added it to the censor list but changed the 'S' to a asterik, which is a wildcard. I'll see if that is what they did. Luck Muck Duck Tuck Puck
EDIT: I guess not. Odd

Just so you know, all the words on the censor list are single whole words, without asterisks.  smile

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

or you can use sóck - the ó is read just like u. Or use sÜck - almost the same. Note that sÜck is not a bad word itself, but it can have a bad context.

Re: Words on Scratch Forums that aren't allowed!

I know what you mean, how it's used for a common word or as profanity. A bit annoying.

If you want to use profanity, I would suggest use something else like Argh! or No! or something like that.
