Scratch

My parents are strict about hearing god and jesus said in vain. Plus, it can be offensive...

Alright, so if you're reading this topic, you might have seen my forum "Freedom Of Speech On Scratch". My opinions have changed, so I've decided to post a new forum. I don't think that flagging is terrible. However, I do think that the rules should be less strict.

Here's a basic summary on my opinions

Language
Should be deleted: The F word, S word, N word, etc. Of course.
Shouldn't be deleted: H**l, C**p, Stupid/Dumb/Idiot type stuff, God or Jesus said in vain, bathroom humor (unless it's pretty detailed stuff about it and the body parts that made it),etc. H**l and C**p are not always deleted. I have seen it stay. It really depends how it is used. God and Jesus in vain should NOT be allowed. It is VERY offensive to religious people, and that would be discriminating to other people and scratch. And what? Stupid, dumb and idiot aren't banned or removed! But also, don't go around calling people that. It depends how it is used again.
Why: Parents have different rules about what their kids can see. But generally speaking, most parents wouldn't allow their kids to say the words on my "should be deleted" list. If a bunch of parents decided to debate on whether kids should be allowed to say the words on the "shouldn't be deleted list" the argument could theoretically go on nonstop for days or maybe even weeks. It's not fair to limit things to one person's opinion on what's appropriate (which is everything on both lists). However, it is fair to limit things based on what most people agree are inappropriate (the stuff on the "should be deleted" list). If the things on the shouldn't be deleted list are flagged, then they should be placed into the "not for everyone" category.You bring up a good point, but it is best to keep it to a level of every parents satisfaction, not just some.

Violence
Should be deleted: Realistic and/or moderate bloody violence. Agreed.
Shouldn't be deleted: Cartoony violence and some blood. Cartoony violence is mostly okay. almost every video game and movie has some mild or cartoon violence! It comes up everywhere, even on kids sites. Just not to high of violence. Blood however, really depends. I dislike blood overall, but sometimes it depends if it is squirting in waterfalls out of a graphic wound, or just a papercut.
Why: Currently, cartoony violence is allowed but not some blood. But think about the circumstances of the blood. Often (maybe even usually), blood is nothing more than red stuff made in the paint editor. We shouldn't delete it, unless it is shown moderately, or looks realistic. Same as language (above) the stuff on the shouldn't be deleted list should fall into the "not for everyone" category. Again, good point, but blood drawn from red in a paint editor still represents blood. some people get nautious about blood, an many parents would not let their kids on scratch if that was allowed.

That sums up my opinions for now! 

P.S., I think Scratch should have the option for users to not see the not for everyone

My thoughts.

Just wondering whats the N word 

All of the words on both lists im allowed to say, but some stuff you just don't say around your parents.

That is offensive to some religions.

But it's really no big deal. Saying that is not discriminatory against religious ppl.

Also for [removed] just do Joeisawesomes way of [removed] 

[Note from moderator - cheating the censor is not allowed.  If you can still recognize the word, it shouldn't be on Scratch]

The N word is a racial slur, which black people use in a nonoffensive way, but white people use it in a racist way.

Oh yeah.

I wouldnt rate it with words like [removed] though.

Also to some people it is a name of respect

So why do you have your sig in the post?

EDIT: Also, this kid brings up a valid argument. I'm liking what he's saying in every way possible.

Thx for agreeing!

Lolwut?

Wut?

The Scratch forums were created for discussion of the programming language, Scratch. In reality, you should never need to use any of these terms if you stay strictly on-topic.

(As for violence in projects - cartoony violence with blood is allowed - take Cube World for example.)
