I am posting this topic on fear of getting insulted by a bunch of really sensitive scratchers. I am really not trying to be mean in this message so don't get mad at me if you disagree with what I'm saying. Here goes:
We need a freedom of speech on Scratch.
The flagging system is terrible! On other sites like this people just have to DEAL WITH IT!!!! It's not right to censor anybody who posts projects that some people find offensive.
Take the famous rapper Eminem. He got lots of controversy in his career do to his profane, violent, sexist, and homophobic music. (I was mad at some of his lyrical themes BTW) Parents hated him. He was a straight up bad influence.
But the government didn't ban Eminem's music from being listened to or sold. He's got the right to say whatever he wants; he just gets a lot of controversy.
On Scratch what we should do install a filter; if you have the filter off all projects are available to you including flagged projects. But when you have the filter ON, you can only see projects that haven't been flagged.
BUT, some inappropriate projects just don't get flagged. That's just the way it goes. So people with the filter on, still might see inappropriate projects. That's just how it goes. The internet is very big and unpredictable so if something offends you that's just how it goes.
