It doesn't matter. It still works fine because it won't take too many inputs or draw any graphics if it is a well-made server mode. AAAND I found a python module that can interact with scratch cloud variables (Or even be used to make a custom scratch IDE) called scratchclient so we can interact with cloud variables in a python3 program and save data in a permanent .txt file on the server. Python3 runs pretty fast on a pi, even if it is a lowly 3.

That's brilliant! Great job! It will also be a great opportunity to exercise my python skills. Can you provide a link?

Sign on the M18 Motorway warning that horses, horse-drawn vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles are forbidden.

Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the “New World” style of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States.

Typical road signs in rural areas of the Republic of Ireland. Here, a fingerpost with old road number and Bord Fáilte logo. Signpost located in Rathangan, Co. Kildare.

Regulatory signs (relating to limits and prohibitions) differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe.

The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs.

In Ireland, the highest category of road is a motorway (mótarbhealach, plural: mótarbhealaí), indicated by the prefix M followed by a one- or two-digit number (the number of the national route of which each motorway forms a part). The motorway network consists entirely of motorway-grade dual carriageways and is largely focused upon Dublin. There are also several three-lane motorways, while Ireland's busiest road, the M50, incorporates four-lane, five-lane, and six-lane stretches.

There is an unofficial scratch extension that outputs the probability that some text is toxic but I think we should stick to the bad word blocker.

It doesn't matter. It still works fine because it won't take too many inputs or draw any graphics if it is a well-made server mode. AAAND I found a python module that can interact with scratch cloud variables (Or even be used to make a custom scratch IDE) called scratchclient so we can interact with cloud variables in a python3 program and save data in a permanent .txt file on the server. Python3 runs pretty fast on a pi, even if it is a lowly 3.

Nvm, It actually runs pretty well, almost as fast as my main computer, as long as there are simple graphics. I think the graphics card is the problem, not the processor.

Hi, just asking, why will you need a bad word blocker if you are using whitelisting? If you use whitelisting, bad words are already out of the question, right?

Basically inactive but yes hi

Actually, we thought of using whitelist in order to prevent random people from making inappropriate websites while we're making Scratchedia, when It's released, there won't be whitelist. That's where we'll use the bad word blocker.

Sorry to burst your bubble but… Scratch has no way of cutting of view to certain scripts. Even if they did there is gonna be some way to cut it back on.
(Sorry if this comes out as an ad) Meower has been through complications with the ST that whitelisting isn't allowed. EVEN THOUGH Meower wasn't using whitelisting. So if it comes from me. Negotating with the ST is going to be PRETTY hard

Hello! I am GuitarGuy, more than a year and a half Scratcher, and owner of GZONE Gaming Company.(WeBino Software)

Roblox modeler, and Scratch coder. I have learned almost all the fundamentals of Scratch. And LOVE it! It taught me something that I didn't think I would want to learn!

RIP MEOWER

I think, to make a whitelist, I can copy all the text out of a few forum posts and run a program to remove duplicate words. That would work well for little work.

How does this sound for the offical statement to the Scratch Team (please edit and let me know if you like it)

At Scratchedia™, we understand the unique position the Scratch Team is in regarding User Generated Content (UGC) in Scratch projects. Scratchedia™ utilizes word-whitelisting, allowing only vetted words to be used on the Scratchedia™ network. In addition to whitelisting, moderators, or, as we prefer to call them, Community Patrol members frequently patrol websites in search of inappropriate content that may get through our whitelist, and regular users have access to reporting features. Our Safety Team is on standby to adapt and defend Scratchedia™, our users, and our network from the ever-evolving privacy threats internet users face. Scratch Team members have 24/7 access to our platform, and direct access to Scratchedia™ Safety Team members.

Scratchedia™ would like to recognize the tremendous effort put forth by the Scratch Team to keep Scratch a fun platform, for all.

If you respond to something I write here, I probably won't see it, so let me know on my profile! Feel free to ask me questions about PHP, Python, Scratch, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript there, too!
