How would one implement a swear word/inappropriate message filter in their project?
-
We are going to add a new block for content moderation. You can use it to check whether a message is appropriate.
@info-creaticode Ooo, I’m looking forward to that!

@info-creaticode But am I allowed to do things like make a list of swears and check against it?

If you already have a list of words you would like to check against, you can write code to check them in your project, so you won’t need any new blocks, right?

@info-creaticode
Yes, but someone could mass report it for swearing, therefore we kinda need a new block… -

@info-creaticode That is true, new blocks aren’t needed, but in my original post I was assuming that I’m not allowed to make a list of curses and then check against it because someone might view my project’s code and then see that, but I’m just wondering if that is allowed

It seems like making a list of swears and then checking against that is fine, so I’ll just use that until told otherwise.

In that case, probably it’s better to publish it so others won’t see the list.

@info-creaticode Ohhh, true. Thank you, now I know it’s allowed so I’ll use it.

@info-creaticode
What if others are looking forward to making such chatrooms?
How would they get a source code? -

Then the mass reporting hits… -

Then the mass reporting hits…@cattyplayzy there isn’t a strict requirement for a filter, I’d assume that CreatiCode would prefer you have a filter, and I’d assume that the report system doesn’t flag by itself, they have to include a description of what exactly breaks the rules (I checked and the next button in report has you enter text) so as long as you have it properly labeled as a censor, CreatiCode wouldn’t punish you if your intentions for why you had the inappropriate language weren’t bad

@cattyplayzy I honestly think databases (with the source code hidden of course) would be 1000x easier and more convienient to do.

also with this, honestly some people need to write their own code. It’s good to take code from others, but when the source code is hidden for something, then you just have to accept that and try to recreate it using what you already know. Unless of course you like reverse engineer something to hack it
