Update the bad word detector
I think the bad word detector needs an updateI do not think
1. Ok when someone types in a bad word in a project the bad word detector does appear but it leaves it here on when someone leaves the project without removing it, it's still there So have it automatically censor it if they leave the project without removing the bad word.
Phase 1: Bad Word detector appears on project (Goes to Phase 2 if user puts a bad word like, 5 times)
Phase 2: Alert is sent to user
Phase 3: lose the privilege to edit your project's description/credits (For 15 minutes)
Phase 4: A one week ban (Ban time doubles if you continue to make bad words)
I've been thinking that phase 3 time doubles up based ion how many times you've been banned/i]
I also been thinking that If you put like 10 swear words into your description instead of going to phase 1, it just goes straight to phase 2 but if more than 10, it goes to
Here is a mock-up image for phase 2:
2. Remove the X button on the bad word detector because people could use that as a way to get rid of it So have it always display so no one can forget about it until they remove it.
This is what I'm talking about
3. When the bad word detector appears, it makes a sound to tell you that you typed in a bad word.
4. Have the bad word detector go off if they say “Get rid of the Extensions policy!!!!” or anything related to it.
5. Add any known links leading to browser extensions..
6. Make the bad word detector go off if you type in something like B** W***.

Update the bad word detector
I think the bad word detector needs an updateI don't see a point censoring unpublished projects for one so if this were to be a feature it should only be in effect if you pressed publish
1. Ok when someone types in a bad word in a project the bad word detector does appear but it leaves it here on when someone leaves the project without removing it, it's still there So have it automatically censor it if they leave the project without removing the bad word.
Phase 1: Bad Word detector appears on project (Goes to Phase 2 if user puts a bad word like, 5 times)Of course, phase 1 currently happens and that's perfectly fine. Phase 2 seems a tad unnecessary but I'm ok with it. Phase 3 seems silly how are you supposed to fix your description if you can't edit it. For phase 3 I suppose a mute would be ok in line with the muted you get on the rest of the site (which didn't exist when this was suggested). Phase 4 is far too extreme though I think you should just stick with mutes though they're annoying if you didn't know a word is censored it can easily just be waited out.
Phase 2: Alert is sent to user
Phase 3: lose the privilege to edit your project's description/credits (For 15 minutes)
Phase 4: A one week ban (Ban time doubles if you continue to make bad words)
I've been thinking that phase 3 time doubles up based ion how many times you've been banned/i]
I also been thinking that If you put like 10 swear words into your description instead of going to phase 1, it just goes straight to phase 2 but if more than 10, it goes to phase 3 insteadI don't think there are many people out there who are just spamming swear words on Scratch but I suppose they should be banned but not by a bot by a ST member instead
It would also be nice if the bad word detector bans the user if they post to many bad words in a short period of time
2. Remove the X button on the bad word detector because people could use that as a way to get rid of it So have it always display so no one can forget about it until they remove it.I think this has been implemented
3. When the bad word detector appears, it makes a sound to tell you that you typed in a bad word.I think a large box is obvious enough and this could scare someone as it would be out of nowhere
4. Have the bad word detector go off if they say “Get rid of the Extensions policy!!!!” or anything related to it.I think others have explained why this is bad.
5. Add any known links leading to browser extensions..Sounds like it would already be true and if it's not it seems like a fine suggestion
6. Make the bad word detector go off if you type in something like B** W***.What about people making an aesthetic title like this ********Hello*********
Edit: I can't be bothered to make this not in italics so I guess we all have to deal with it

I think the bad word detector needs an updatesupport, sometimes the bad word detector needs to be fixed for many reasons such as the bad word detector going of even thought you did not type a bad word

Update the bad word detector
I do not think that Discord is a bad word, it is just an applicationIt isn't moderated and it's easy to share personal information, both of which the ST hates, also, it's age rating is like triple what Scratch's is. Citation needed.

No longer using the forums unless necessary.
Go to the sound library, find the sound called “Ya” and hit reverse :0
Really, stop with the “support/no support” thing. I don't care if you give a reason. If you have a reason you don't need to add this to your post in the first place. Stop acting like your opinion makes a difference. It doesn't. Opinions were never the point. The point is whether or not it's a good suggestion. If you can give a good reason at why this is a good idea or point out a flaw, do it, but don't take sides.
This is not sarcasm.
