100% support. Simply highlighting or underlining the bad words would make it so the kids wouldn't know how to use them properly, meaning that they'd have to look them up, shifting the blame off of Scratch. If parents don't want to use Scratch because it tells their kids what not to say, it's not that big of a deal– Scratch isn't a paid service.
Yes it is.scratch is used in schools.they don’t want a bunch of schools complaining it’s showing bad words
It would still be scratches fault, because they would hav taught the word in the first place and made them want to look it up.

Support! Once I posted my HSL to RGB on median’s profile and I got muted. It contained “8))+(h” in a math equation represented in scratchblocks somewhere. It was so confusing!

I mean, that's kind of stupid to block, but at the same time, this might cause kids to learn bad words.
Also I'm not sure if this would just show you the “word” it happened in since if that's the case, it could detect things next to each other as well.

Fun_Cupcake_i81: What, were you expecting not to see the utc - 12 thing again? THE UTC - 12 THIGN ALWAYS RETURNS. ALWAYS.
medians: I knew it would happen. I was the one who started it last year.
Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-

user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

Learning that something is inappropriate ≠ using something inappropriate. In fact, if you knew that something is forbidden and you could get punished for doing that, you would avoid it, wouldn't you? And if you didn't know that there are rules, wouldn't the chance of you breaking them increase?
The main point, telling children inappropriate words is bad.
At least they would know what not to say. Sure, they can misuse the warning and speak rudely, but that's why the report button was created - to tell the Scratch Team that they broke the rules, and let them stop the user.
But they still learned it. Even if they don't use it, they still had to see it, and that's not okay.

Quit.

Pros:
  • You'll know if you got muted unfairly
  • You'll know what not to say on Scratch
Cons:
  • Children could learn words that are bad/have an inappropriate meaning
  • Children could look up the word they got muted for and find some bad/inappropriate stuff online

Alright, now for the hard part: finding a somewhat permanent signature

I was wondering about the video sensing thing. I was using a Chromebook and I also made sure to give Scratch permission to use my camera/webcam. I made sure to double check in the chromebook settings and it's still not working I think. So does anyone know how to fix this problem(s)?
This is unrelated to this topic.

No support, this could tell people what words to bypass or teach kids swear words.

This is my signature. It is not a part of this post and it appears under every post I make.

I second this. I really hate how vague the Scratch rules are. They should make it clear where they are drawing the line, and this is a good way. The filter should not mute for a very simple reason: other langauges.

Think of it from the point of view of a parent. Would you want your child learning bad words? Learning its inappropriate may cause some children to want to use it even more. Teaching children bad words when they accidentally type them may cause some parents to think Scratch is not friendly for children.
Most kids already learn bad words from their parents or school anyway accident or not.

I mostly post Transformers stuff. And I like HH but that shows not appropriate for scratch so I'll probably post my ocs and not much else.

Support.
Anyone saying that a kid might have learned a bad word, very unlikely.
For one, kids know most bad words around age 6. And I don't think anyone below that age should be interacting with strangers online.

“It seems I am not the only spy.”
“Spy in our midst!”
“Spy, gentlemen!”
“Spy among us!”
“That Scout is a Spy.”
“The Soldier is a Spy.”
“The Pyro is a Spy.”
“The Demoman is a Spy.”
“The Heavy is a Spy.”
“The Engineer is a Spy.”
“The Medic is a Spy.”
“The Sniper is a Spy.”
“That Spy is an enemy!”
“That Spy is not one of us!”
