Hey, Scratchers, I've gone thinking about why chat room is not allowed, and came to the conclusion that because someone might cuss. Or is there any other reason? If it is the problem of cussing, couldn't you make all these presets about what should not be said in the chat room and ban people who cusses from the chat room? I'm just asking because I really want to test it out since such a free program can have so much programming and functionality to work with. I think if we don't use this cloud variable well with chat rooms, it would be really desperating to lose rights on what can be done just using the cloud variables.

Because people could not only cuss, but be rude and say me things about other people.

Example:

You suck
I really hate you
Go jump off a cliff
You're stupid and ugly

Stuff like that. But, safe chats are allowed. Those are chats where users can only chat with a predetermined set of phrases.

cobraguy,

Yes, I know. But I was also saying that maybe we could ban people who say those bad words by detecting if there are any of those words before it is sent out to be a message on the list.

Curse-word sensors are banned because you are technically cursing in your project when you make a blocker, and when people click “See Inside”…

People can still bully without curse words, as @cobraguy pointed out.

And banning people wouldn't work either, because you can't be watching the chat 24/7.

I wish there is a way to ever achieve this chat room code… or program. Without mentioning the cuss words in the blocks…

My idea is this :

My idea for Chat rooms to be safe
Make a Admin list .
Then :

when green flag clicked[/quote]
if <(answer) > [30]> then
change [Warning v] by (1)
if <(Warning) > [2]> then
ask [A message is sent to a Admin to Delete you] and wait
add (join (username) [is Spamming]) to [list v]
    
end
    
end

And in case of rudeness :

when [space v] key pressed
ask [] and wait
add (answer) to [Admin Messeages v]

when [x v] key pressed
if <(username) = [Your username]> then
    
ask [Enter ID.] and wait
delete (answer) of [Chat v]
end

when [0 v] key pressed
if <[(username)] = [NASA-Space]> then
    
ask [Who do you want to remove] and wait
add (answer) to [banned v]
end

when green flag clicked
if <[banned v} contains (username)> then
stop [all v]
    
end

NASA-Space:

I'm not sure if I can follow your code. First of all, what if someone needed to write, like, a long message or something, but then they would be labeled as spamming. Could you maybe explain you code just a little bit more? I think that we should just send every message sent or typed by users to admin because they could all be saying rude things and not report. Your idea is GREAT. And we should have 5 to 6 or more admin for this if we can actually create a project like this and get it approved. But we need to think about what or how people might do to get around this to prevent it. Thanks for your code.

Hey, how do you get all those funky codes like the red?

Sorry that's kind of off-topic but I'm just wondering. I dont have Scratch 2.0 so maybe its a new thing but I just want to know.

I have no idea either~ haha sorry

Click the blue tab on the top.

This is an example:

when gf clicked
 forever
  if <key [shift] pressed>
   say [hiss] for (2) secs
  end
 end

maybe we could do this, I have no interest in chat rooms though so please don't use this!

The project could be able to have a list called users so…

when green flag clicked
add (username) to [users v]

so when a report button is clicked it asks for username and…

set [WARNING! v] to [1]

and it would add the warning to another list containing the usernames of people with one WARNING!, every time it's clicked, it searches in users, and if the username is found it searches in the other list, then adds it to a list called banned. If it doesn't find the user it alerts you you might of done the users name wrong, and if it isn't found in the second it is added to that one.

The only problem is they might have done nothing wrong!

pyth0n:

Thanks for your code and explanation. Exactly, what if they have done nothing wrong? I think we should save the messages and if we do need to search for any users who has done something wrong, we can go to the list and search. Let's say we have Person A and B. We should have Person A who reports Person B to type in or tell us which item in the message list that Person B typed their “wrong message” on so we can go to check that item and see it instantly.

Just saying, you could make it so that it didnt show that variable or how ever you are doing it if it is like a bad word or mean phrase as long as you typed all of those in before hand.

@theuprisingtide:

I have thought about this, but what if a Scratcher goes “See Inside” on the project? I know I can do that, but for those of who are curious about the code we use, they would click see inside and look at everything; even if I attempt to hide any variables.

Make a pubic note for them not to view the variable/list, and if they do it will be at their own expense.

Hi leahjosh:

I'm sorry but your link does not work, and I think no matter what we shouldn't produce anymore cussers; if they want to cuss because they're affected by their friends or the people close to them, at least it isn't us who affect them to cuss. We're trying to find a way that will prevent people from looking at the variables/lists that include cuss words in it but will still warn the user who cusses.

You can't have a blacklist of bad words in your project at all - because then your project would go against the community guidelines.

Now just to find that post by an ST member that says this…
