Censor email addresses in the forums and main site

so in order to censor that, it would take a lot of code
if <(text) contains [@] = [true v]> then
if <in (text) [before] [@] = <not[ ]>> then
set [pft v] to [1]
repeat until <(text) full of [*]>
replace item (pft) of (text) with [*]
end
end
end
a huge mess that would be hard to code and would put more strain on the servers, all for
********
no worth it
no support
1: That's actually not very much compared to the thousands of lines they already have
2: It would help prevent unmoderated chat, I don't see the downside.
It's complex and I had a hard time trying to make a why to change with scratch blocks

Java > Scratch. And by your philosophy, adding pretty much anything would put more strain on the servers

Nice idea but what if I wanted to say
Dear Scratch Team I have had issues with my password as it sometimes changes to my password for another site. Please contact me on the gmail account connected to the account @MiaTheMia.
In context like that it would probably be alright as it only says you have a account and only the ST can see it
Surport but add some context which you will allow it in.
Edit no support you only need to ban stuff like
MiaTheMia@gmail.com
For the record I have no gmail and the text above was a example of what I mean

The format of the email adress would be censored

Bump as well.

I will note that this is implemented in comment sections but not the forums.

I've had an extension that asked me to enter a new email for that specific extension, the extension email went like “@example/extension.com”
So, extension emails?

i feel like this post should be bumped, so I'm bumping this

I think this would work since almost every time emails are used to send or receive data. While this is probably not a large issue, I like this solution.

Here is a regex filter which would locate anything in the format of the following:

anything@email.com
example@null.void.empty
++++anything@email.com

Regex:
/\++?\w+@\w+(\.\w+)+/g

(Built using RegExr)

Just check if its not that email. Or another @scratch.org email.

Support, but why don't we whitelist help@scratch.mit.edu and appeals@scratch.mit.edu?

Support. Although is this already implemented?

I think it is, but you have to use a real TLD.

Hmm, it seems like some are blocked, but others aren't.

Saying “thing@(actual mail website).com” is blocked, but “test@thisisafakewebsitethatproablydoesntexist.com” is fine.

Try it…make a post that says something followed by “at geemayl dot com” (obviously make it the actual thing) and it'll block it.

Make an exception for appeals@scratch.mit.edu and help@scratch.mit.edu

Agreed. Or anything at scratch.mit.edu… Is there anything else?
