Oh yeah they’re freakishly easy to find.@106809nes @106809nes I don’t think CreatiCode should be and/or advertise itself as K-12/for kids, because a lot of children aren’t technically literate enough to know how to use half the blocks anyways, and younger kids I doubt are using this site at all. It’s more like for teenagers like me that just found Scratch but with superpowers and x1000 better. They say it’s for use in classrooms and stuff like that but is it really? I feel like it’d be wayyyy easier for say a 1st grade math teacher to just use a green board and chalk to teach addition than to make a whole CreatiCode project to teach like one concept, share it with all of her students, and then have to show some how to use it afterwards because they’re too technically illiterate to press the green flag button or they accidentally clicked somewhere else.
Now I’m not saying that a kindergartener or something wouldn’t use Creaticode or find it useful, but I am saying that a lot of the people that Creaticode is advertised for probably aren’t using it because teachers nowadays just use the more commonly accessible big-name tools like Google Classroom and Kahoot to teach, and little kids should be monitored on the internet anyways because of the things they could see that could traumatize them, and CreatiCode I feel like isn’t that much of an educational tool so Creaticode doesn’t have to be so strict with such rules because it feels like they have to censor content that is deemed even a tiny bit offensive like a little bit of clea[censored]e/shoulders or realistic guns. Meanwhile, schools use Scratch more than Creaticode, and they aren’t extremely strict with their inappropriate content policies. I mean it did backfire once because a couple school districts in the past have blocked Scratch due to its FNaF games, but my point still stands. Anyone can prove this with some searches on the Scratch website.
So, I think CreatiCode should really be a bit more tolerant when it comes to stuff like that, especially after the time I had to change 2 images that weren’t even NSFW or fan drawn.
I don’t mean to offend official Creaticode themselves if they see this, I was venting my frustration -
I believe I could probably add a realism setting along with the disclaimer. Older kids like teenagers should be able to be more introduced in games like that since simplicity is not always likable
Please help all my projects are 3000+ blocks

I would ask @info-creaticode about that. -

Though teenagers may be better at using AI and 3D features, many of our enhancements over MIT Scratch are specifically designed for young learners, such as the top blocks in the Motion category that would not require knowledge of coordinates, or running programs in “step by step” mode.

@info-creaticode true but I was just mad about the fact that I had to edit one of previous posts because they were considered too revealing. I understand and I’m still going to follow the rules but that was just at the moment I posted that sorry

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Would this work?
(I did this in 10 minutes, stickman is pretty hard to do in Creaticode, I won;t be done if I can still do this)

These posts are very helpful discussion. We want to run a new idea with you guys:
We can allow the author of a project mark the project’s rating, such as minimum age level to play this project, similar to movie ratings.
Then, if a user chooses to set his/her age level, we can hide those projects rated above the user’s age level.
Does that sound like a reasonable solution?

@info-creaticode yeah! I like that, sorta like what Roblox is doing. 18+ projects though still shouldn’t allow NSFW, just stuff like strong swearing

use common sense.@106809nes Ok, well they said a minimum age level for projects with things that might not be suitable for younger kids, like guns. Idk but I feel like swearing would be in there too for mature audiences since there’s an age level, and 18+ people can handle stuff like that, like with movie ratings.

@info-creaticode
Yes but they can easily bypass it and lie about their age.@106809nes I’ve lied about my age when I was younger on the internet and definitely saw things a kid shouldn’t but that’s not really important because it’s their curiosity. A kid should be able to be curious and satisfy that curiosity, but those kids just have to know what they see could traumatize them

There are ways to test if a user is as old as they claim, such as random math questions. We can add such guardrails to prevent users that are too young.
