How is [removed by mod] a swear word?

Every single time I put up one project that has [removed by mod] in its description, the desc gets deleted. [removed by mod] is not swearing. Filters. Fix them.  (I had to space it out cause the FORUMS filter it too.)

It is because, unlike YouTube, little kids can go on here.

The filters don't need fixing, at least not in that sense. That's definitely not a word that we don't want little kids seeing, which, as TVFlea pointed out, are on Scratch in large numbers. It's not an appropriate word, especially not for young minds.

Why does it make you mad?

What if you were a little kid, and you said that to your parents or something cause you didn't know what that meant? Then they wouldn't let you access your favorite site, Scratch. Or maybe even use the computer until you were bigger cause they didn't trust the internet?

I don't know what the word is, but I'm pretty sure it's not extremely bad, but I'm also pretty sure it's not appropriate for all age levels.

Go on youtube if you want to swear everywhere or something.

The Scratch Community is meant for children ages 8+, that's why some words you may not think are bad, are filtered. Just try to refrain from using them.  smile

The reason it got removed because it's too innapropiate for scratch. words like the F word are always will get removed and projects with any really bad words WILL get removed by moderators. It's unfair i know but this is a kids site. Like Club penguin And Moshi Monsters. its a kids site.

Shouldn't it be 'Definitely IS a word we don't want little kids seeing?'  tongue

Wow. You were here for two years and you left just because of a word in censored?

You must really like that word.

lol

You’re acting so spoiled, it’s ridiculous.

And besides it’s not like the moderator actually made you leave. You simply overreacted, and chose to leave.

We need Scratch to be safe for all ages. A parent may not let their child on if they see Scratch has swear words.
