does anyone have a current list of banned words?

obviously cussing is always going to be blocked, but i've also had a few incidents where words that shouldn't have been blocked have earned me a timeout, the most recent of these being “rizz.” it would be helpful to have a full list, cause im already on thin ice (i was banned for 3 years)

edit: dont be stupid, just abbreviate, use hashes or symbols etc

But how does one list all the words if they're banned?
Anything you think you shouldn't say to an 8-year old. If you are unsure about a word, don't use it.

see my edit; i was pretty sure that rizz was slang that 8 year olds use so i was surprised it was banned (i was using it in an ironic context cause its mostly little kids saying it)

that was an example. all im asking for is if anybody has other words that they might not expect to be banned

also what gives you the right to patronize me?

i dont think theres a way to send this list without getting permanently ip banned and put on a government watchlist in 76 countries

even censoring using asterisks or hashtags can be considered filter bypassing and still counts as swearing.

Its a slang 8 years old use but shouldn't use. Some 8 years old use the F word as well.

Don't say any Scratch Extensions, bad words, or inappropriate things.

We definitely can't put a list of words here. You should use your mental judgement for that

Rizz is… I don’t really get them, though I know they’re meant to express *romantic love*
And the list? Well, saying it would probably get this topic dustbinned and me ip banned and becoming a toxic person in the eyes of some people.
You can only use your own sense to see if it’s appropriate or not.

Rizz isn’t simply slang that 8 y/o use
Shall I give you two rizz examples
1. Are you a keyboard? Because you’re my type
2. Are you oxygen? Because I need you to live
They may sound normal to some, though to some others (like me) finds this very disgusting as I know the true meaning behind the name “rizz”

And sometimes rizz can be used to insult too:
Are you lactose? Because I can’t tolerate you

That's not rizz; that's just a creative insult.

Also another one that is pretty recent would probably(?) be “salty ice-(I don't feel like continuing to keep it Scratch friendly.)”

And thinking of all the bad words in all the languages means you are a language genius, which can make you being hunted down too

Here is a list of some words that are commonly banned on Scratch:

  • Curse words
    Racial slurs
    • Sexually explicit words
    • Words that promote violence or hatred
    Words that are considered to be spam or trolling

It is important to note that the list of banned words is not exhaustive. Scratch moderators may ban other words that they deem to be inappropriate.

If you are unsure whether a particular word is banned, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid using it.
Wow we did not think of that and just kept telling that a list would get all of us ip banned
