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?
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 woBecausen't be whitelist. That's where we'll use the bad word blocker.
Guys… it's compulsory to use Whitelisting if you are making a Cloud project on Scratch, unless you are all tired of Scratch and would like to be blocked. I am on Project Meower as a cloud dev and I'm in charge of the actual phrases selection system on the client side. Meower is using Whitelisting, just a more complicated one. We stored every possible sentence on a list and only let them select each phrase as long as it's a valid option. As for negotiations with the ST, it's just to ensure that the phrases stay safe and that we are actually sticking to whitelisting as Meower has made the Whitelist as open as possible, thus meaning that we would need to negotiate with the ST. For the internet on Scratch, if you want to allow people to code websites, better stick to a language like Scratch, and only allow certain phrases to be displayed on the web page. If you are going to allow users to type out their own web page, then, find a way to predefine every possible website a person can type…
OK, but we should at least give users the illusion of freedom. Also why should the programming language be similar to scratch?

Because unless you don't allow people to view others code, they can add in not too nice words as comments and make life hard for you guys. As for illusion of freedom, that's what Meower's doing. However, you must redefine the whole website, so may I suggest you only allowed moderators to make sites, and other people who want sites must submit the site through other projects.

Basically inactive but yes hi

I do.
Are you in the collab?
Yes.

I've unshared the project bc people say whitelisting in projects isn't allowed. So currently no one can access it. Until we make a safe text system, that's how it's going to be, unfortunately. There's no other solution.

Why should they submit the site through other projects and not one project? Also,I haven't understood how we're supposed to make the safe text system. Is it going to be whitelisted or blacklisted? Is it going to have phrases or words?

Blacklist is the opposite of whitelist. A whitelist is a list of people who are allowed to do something. A blacklist is a list of people who aren't allowed to do something.

I was thinking a whitelist for words/not people.

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!

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.

I'm currently working on a python server that distributes a currency known as “SoSC Credits”… It will allow currencies to be used in the website. The way it works is that every person who makes a SoSC Bank Account will get 500 credits, so there is a total number of 500 * number of accounts credits always in circulation, so we will never have inflation.

So far you can get a bank balance and create a new account, on the server-side. On the scratch_side, you can only get your bank account, but I will add account creation tonight. After that, the only thing needed is to be able to give money to other accounts for transactions. I may also allow the server to recognize when a new project wants to join in.

I just got an idea: Scratch Banking
Where all of this currency is stored. Shops and other things can use these coins.
