We need to do something about this, it's really bad if there is any way for children to see swearing on the website.

Considering in modern times, kids as young as 5 already say cuss words, it's not as bad as most of you think. Of course, cuss words are “bad” but it's not the end of the world if a kid sees one. It's not good, but they already whitelisted some. Also some kids are so innocent, they might not even be able to notice the word you said.

Okay, but it’s against Scratch’s rules to swear

They already whitelisted minor swear words?

What swear words did they whitelist?

I know of “*”, “frick”, “lmao”, “hell” (well not really, it's sometimes blocked), although there are more
edit: tfw the forums blocks one of the words there but the main website doesn't

1. “*” can be used to correct mistakes. Example:

User_name wrote:

“Hey there how ate you?”

User_name wrote:

are*

2. “Frick” isn't a swear word, it's a euphemism.
3. “LMAO” is pretty much another way to say LOL. Acronyms in text aren't meant to be read as what they really are. Imagine if someone were to say “laughing out loud” in real life. Also, people HAVE been warned for this before.
4. Hell isn't always a swear word, it's also used to refer to the place non-Christian people go when they die in the Christian religion.

Oh my god have you ever had anything censored on the forums?? I was not talking about “*” as in the correction wise. IT WAS THE FORUMS WAY OF CENSORING THINGS.

oh haha
No, I haven't ever had anything censored on the forums
What were you trying to say? Can you put like, Ks in between the letters or smth?

crap
that was the word (you can actually say it on the main site, just not the forums for some reason :\ )

Like frick, crap is a euphemism, not a swear word.

It’s not that bad

No support. Like someone's point that has already been stated, if the filter for this was applied, it would result in many innocent posts being automatically punished, and it could just be reported anyways. Also, it would be arguably unlikely to happen: putting emojis in between words/letters.

This is so annoying. Honestly they should just ban emoji's but that is also annoying. but still people would get past it by just removing or replacing a letter e.g. replace a letter with a full stop or something similar.

That is a word meaning that something is going to Hell. For example, A Christian would say, “my cousin left the religion. It’s very sad, I don’t want want him to be damned.” In this case, it is not a swear word.
