I don't understand the problem. Grapes are not banned.

Re: Some words that aren't allowed in scratch that should be.

I tested it. When you type "grape" anywhere on the main site, you get a message reminding you to use appropriate language.

Someone reported this a few months ago. It's not the word "grape" that's blocked. Take away the G and you'll see what's actually blocking it.

They need to improve the filter. Maybe there should be spaces on both sides before they get blocked. I've seen a lot of people get censored like that just because it checks inside the words, too.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

It thinks robl0x is bad because people have been spamming for robl0x.
I get why grape is banned now. Yes, I think the filter is a bit messed up that way...

Re: Some words that aren't allowed in scratch that should be.

i think they mean a certain type of assault. take away the g. now anyways, roblox is banned because people were filling scratch with spam for roblox, or at least thats why i think it got banned.

Use unicode characters that look like latin letters like cyrillic ie.

Once again use mixed-script characters like wikipedia serial vandal Grawp does.
