Re: Swearing
It's not, but it seems to get worse every day. Maybe we all need to go back and read the Scratch Terms of Use: http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Terms_of_use

Re: Swearing
Really? I've only seen the *'s or [removed] things, I've never seen people actually swearing...

That's because of our nice little censoring filter 
It pretty much censors anything, but people can get past it, unfortunately.

I think we should ask Paddle to add all of the 'work-arounds' to the censor list as well.

*All* of them? That would be pretty hard.

*Many* of them. At least the common ones, like: $=S, and @=A.

The asterisks are when the words have been caught in the filter, and the [removed] text is added by moderators when editing posts in cases of swearing.
All those cases that you've seen were cases of swearing.

Re: Swearing
I have a browser that blocks a list of words chosen by my parents, and it blocked the first page of the "Blood and Human Victims" thread.

Re: Swearing
Perhaps you have some words in your filter that are not on the forum's censor list? That's the only thing I can think of

What?! Your parents are evil.... keel them!!! Btw i noe i spelled it wrong its to get pass the browser.... just kidding though do not actually do it. And btw, no swearing is NOT allowed, and swearing includes rude words but just with a letter missing
Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

Swearing is not allowed on the Scratch website. 
If you see a person using foul language, please use the "Report" button in the Forums or "Flag as inappropriate" button on ScratchR to report the post or comment to the Scratch Team or Moderators, and they will take actions against it. ^^
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" 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. >.>Offline

Re: Swearing
I would be happy to collect a whole list of bad words (including stealthy ones) but i obviously can't post them on the forums. Glad to help, but need to know the following:
- if you'd like me to do it
- how the filter actually works
- where to post them
- what you already have
Thanks!

Lol, it's been done before (by me). But the Scratch Team doesn't seem to have any need for exotic swear words. They only seem to be looking for words that are a common problem, and we've got all those pinned already. ^^

Re: Swearing
I can't report it, because I can't get to there in the first place.
Also, can you mention the opposite of heaven as a place in your projects? I had an idea for an epic pre-battle quote, but it uses that word.

Hell is not even censored on the forums. Use it, though try not to use it too much/offensively.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
