I am making a project that requires a anti swear script for moderation purposes, am I allowed to put swear words in list items for use of a moderation script?
here's how I'll do it

if <[(list :: list) v] contains (foo) ?> then
set [(foo) v] to []
say (join [no swearing] (username))
end

in this case, foo is the variable the player inputs, which will be on cloud variable
and the list contains all the swear words, this script is what i want to use, but I really hope it doesn't come to encoding it can someone please tell me if this is OK to add this anti swear script.

Absolutely not!

You are not allowed to write swear words in your projects or a list even if it is to try to stop others from swearing.

No. If any form of “bad word” can be found in the project, it's not ok.

As a warning; from the information you have shown, to looks like you might be making a project that allows cloud chat. Cloud chat projects, or any project that features cloud chat, is banned. Here is the ST's annoucement.

true, I have found a reverse way though, I can whitelist all good words which should work OK, but it's gonna take long because the English vocabulary has 170 000 words in it, thank you for answering my question though, but can you see if there is a way to do this without taking hours?

and by the way, people have been allowed to use cloud chat before, but with censoring scripts

Yes there's anther discussion with the same topic, check it out.

Most of these terms are technical, and aren't used in everyday speech. An average English native speaker knows only 20000 of them, and only 5000 are used commonly.

If you happen to be making a cloud chat project, please be aware that we do not allow cloud chat projects anymore, even with a whitelist. See our updated policy here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/357609/

thank you, but thats not it, its for a chat forum for my studio to release tutorials only, no communication whatsoever, with some extra paramaters taken, its no chat room, I don't allow chat on it

I'm sorry, what?
It's for a “chat forum” but there's “no communication whatsoever”?

Are you trying to make a tutorial on how to create one?

umm you should REALLY pay attention to the Commuity Guidelines you can't swear in scratch or even make 18+ content in scratch it all gets deleted by ST

1st, look up a list of all the words in english as a .txt file, then import it into scratch by corner clicking on the list monitor while inside the editor and use this script to remove all the swear words:

define remove (word) from list
delete (item # of (word::custom) in [words v]::list) or [words v]::list

then make sure not to delete the list in any other way!

=/ What do you mean?

What purpose is this moderation for?
Is it for a cloud game, if not then it serves no purpose.
A whitelist can easily be bypassed; take the innocent words for water vapor near the ground and the central part and you've just created a bad word!

Blocking swear words wouldn't do anything.
For example, i want to block the word ‘cat’. There are millions of workarounds: c@t, cxt, c a t, catt, ccat, caat, etc.

And even if you're making a cloud chat, those aren't allowed


Wait what- a chat forum with no communication whatsoever?? That doesn't make sense.

its a chat forum that I'm making for my studio, no communication, which makes it not a chat room, just tutorials from the public

and I know all the community rules, just wondering if there is things like this that have a excuse, but now I know there is a way around lots of things

Then how is it a chat forum if you don't allow chat on it?

and a chat forum is a place where people submit questions of how to's, and they get solved by the public users of the forum, that's a chat forum, but a specially limited version is what I'm doing, so no communication is allowed, only questions and tutorials made to fix those questions, and an alert system to tell the user there problem is solved by another scratcher.
