It doesn't matter. It still works fine because it won't take too many inputs or draw any graphics if it is a well-made server mode. AAAND I found a python module that can interact with scratch cloud variables (Or even be used to make a custom scratch IDE) called scratchclient so we can interact with cloud variables in a python3 program and save data in a permanent .txt file on the server. Python3 runs pretty fast on a pi, even if it is a lowly 3.
That's brilliant! Great job! It will also be a great opportunity to exercise my python skills. Can you provide a link?

I mentioned it further up in the page.

How does this sound for the offical statement to the Scratch Team (please edit and let me know if you like it)

At Scratchedia™, we understand the unique position the Scratch Team is in regarding User Generated Content (UGC) in Scratch projects. Scratchedia™ utilizes word-whitelisting, allowing only vetted words to be used on the Scratchedia™ network. In addition to whitelisting, moderators, or, as we prefer to call them, Community Patrol members frequently patrol websites in search of inappropriate content that may get through our whitelist, and regular users have access to reporting features. Our Safety Team is on standby to adapt and defend Scratchedia™, our users, and our network from the ever-evolving privacy threats internet users face. Scratch Team members have 24/7 access to our platform, and direct access to Scratchedia™ Safety Team members.

Scratchedia™ would like to recognize the tremendous effort put forth by the Scratch Team to keep Scratch a fun platform, for all.

Sign on the M18 Motorway warning that horses, horse-drawn vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles are forbidden.

Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the “New World” style of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States.

Typical road signs in rural areas of the Republic of Ireland. Here, a fingerpost with old road number and Bord Fáilte logo. Signpost located in Rathangan, Co. Kildare.

Regulatory signs (relating to limits and prohibitions) differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe.

The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs.

In Ireland, the highest category of road is a motorway (mótarbhealach, plural: mótarbhealaí), indicated by the prefix M followed by a one- or two-digit number (the number of the national route of which each motorway forms a part). The motorway network consists entirely of motorway-grade dual carriageways and is largely focused upon Dublin. There are also several three-lane motorways, while Ireland's busiest road, the M50, incorporates four-lane, five-lane, and six-lane stretches.

Hi, just asking, why will you need a bad word blocker if you are using whitelisting? If you use whitelisting, bad words are already out of the question, right?
Actually, we thought of using whitelist in order to prevent random people from making inappropriate websites while we're making Scratchedia, when It's released, there won't be whitelist. That's where we'll use the bad word blocker.

Guys… it's compulsory to use Whitelisting if you are making a Cloud project on Scratch, unless you are all tired of Scratch and would like to be blocked. I am on Project Meower as a cloud dev and I'm in charge of the actual phrases selection system on the client side. Meower is using Whitelisting, just a more complicated one. We stored every possible sentence on a list and only let them select each phrase as long as it's a valid option. As for negotiations with the ST, it's just to ensure that the phrases stay safe and that we are actually sticking to whitelisting as Meower has made the Whitelist as open as possible, thus meaning that we would need to negotiate with the ST. For the internet on Scratch, if you want to allow people to code websites, better stick to a language like Scratch, and only allow certain phrases to be displayed on the web page. If you are going to allow users to type out their own web page, then, find a way to predefine every possible website a person can type…

Seems good to me. I understand mowers “Sentence stringing and checking for allowance”, in other words, stringing words together and seeing if they match an allowed phrase. We'll need lots of phrases though, and I dont know if this will work for websites.. We'll have to figure out another way of white listing that involves more ways to make pre-made sentences. Possibly even make a bot that allows you to submit phrases via comments. If it passes scratch comment filter then it should be allowed

A possibility is to make all phrases selected be posted in the comments on another project that just hosts everything, aiding moderators (“community patrol (members)”) in recovering all traffic sent, but that might take down the server accidentially.

OK, but we should at least give users the illusion of freedom. Also why should the programming language be similar to scratch?
