I wonder if that's allowed

Scratch is for ages 8 and up (Actually, skibidi toilets people of all ages can join.), so it's important that your projects are appropriate for a young audience.

Do note that this depends on what you consider cuss words. For example, words such as d amn, and h ell is allowed, but only if used in an appropriate way (so yes “d amn thats so cool”, but no “d amn u bad”)

… No?????

That's their signature. It automatically appears under every post they make- you can set one for yourself on the forum homepage by scrolling down and clicking “Change your signature”.

Uh, no. I don't see how you'd think swearing like a sailor on a website full of 3rd graders would be appropriate. If something is filtered on the main site, it's best you don't try to dodge that by including it in a project anyway. Also: Content warnings will do nothing in the eyes of the Scratch Team.

technically you can say crap and damn

I think you can say that minecraft gardening tool as long as you make it clear that it’s a gardening tool.

Then it’s not a cuss word anymore ‘-‘
Anyway damn crap frick lmao is okay, others will range from iffy (minority p) to no. (most) (period included to make it look serious :thumbsup:

It really depends on what you consider to be a “cuss word” and its context.
For example, words like heck, dang, and crud (all of which I personally don't consider cussing) are allowed. Hell, even words like frick and * are allowed!! But if you decide to use them, you should only use them in a non-negative and harmless way. (example: see how I started the previous sentence).

tl;dr: dont use them in a bad way

EDIT: seems like “that word” doesn't work specifically on forums.

I also wondered where the line was on “mature language”. When I was curator of the previous SDS studio I rejected a couple of projects because they used “*” in the project or description. Of course one author just reposted their add request the next day and another curator added it but the other author did take my suggestion and reworded the project description.

Wikipedia says “ The vulgarity of * is a contentious topic, with many considering it to be a swear word while others do not.”

My thinking was that any project that shows up on the front page should not have any “mature language” and all projects in an SDS studio are displayed randomly on the front page.

There is also this guideline from the FNAF announcement (https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/168506/)

Which elements are considered inappropriate according to the Scratch Community Guidelines?
Graphic Content: Depictions or audio that emulate weapons, gore, or violence.
Intense Themes: Serious or scary topics.
Vulgarity: Disrespectful or mature language.

(emphasis mine).

The Scratch team always has the option of marking a project as NFE which leaves the project shared but with restrictions.

I guess the question is how important is it to your project to use words that an 8-year-old might not be allowed to use.

you technically can use some words that some people consider “cuss words”, but I would stay away from all of that to be safe.

why are you asking this without reading guidelines
depending on what “cuss words” you are talking about

Ummm??? Hello? Of course not!

Nope. Definitely not. 0%. No cap. frfrfrfrfrfr. If you don't believe me just ask @kaj.

nope 0% very much a bann

No but you can say some abbreviations of swears

Use common sense m8, its not allowed
even though projects have no filter (it still anit allowed)

Nah you can't really, unless you wanna be banned. So, in conclusion, just dont.

no idea why it says merry new year's eve
