I think there should be filters implemented so that when curse words are used, they don’t get shown in the text. There are many instances in the chat where people swear and it’s not good for the elementary and middle school aged users to see.

In my opinion swearing shouldn't be accepted at all however its only my opinion. There are many users who are younger than me and I do not wish to see swearing on a platform like bracelet book because to me swearing isn't okay. But I do think your idea is good but i mean maybe if there is a way to block swear words on bracelet book in general that may be nice. I really agree that if sweaing is allowed there should at least be a way to censor swear words. 😊

Yea idk if this would work but maybe like if you are replying and it tells you you can’t reply because there’s a link

Oops didn’t mean to send it already but it would be like that and it would say something like “please don’t use swear words”

And that would also keep a lot more people from getting banned

I think comments are filtered but not forum posts. In all honesty you really shouldn't be on the internet if you're in elementary school though, so you may want to re assess that.

Currently there are no swear word filters but we moderators review comments, forum posts and chat messages and will delete them in case we find a swear word.

@estellajw well elementary age students do use the internet its like saying a 13 year old shouldn't use the internet at all it just won 't happen. There are many users on here who are younger than the age of 13 and although i heard swearing when i was ten. swearing still shouldn't be happening on bracelet book in my opinion. I'd like to know why you think a 13 year old is going to not use the internet. I turned 14 in grade 8 and 13 in grade 7 therefore i became a teenage while in elementary school. Swearing isnt being nice and welcoming as braceletbook should be and thats @Jdog12525 point.

@estellajw well this is like a social media to me even though you can only post photos of bracelets and I really like the community here but sometimes people swear so I think swear words should be filtered but mods do the best they can to delete comments with swears so that’s good, but this can kinda be a social media for some people and to me it isn’t fair that kids can’t go on any social media just because there are people out there who say swears and stuff. But idk how hard it is to make sure there are no swears. Sry if that didn’t make any sense I went to the chat and forgot what I was saying 😂😂

@2006_Mandy Thank you for clarifying that elementary students do in fact use the internet. On top of that, this website is targeted towards them because this is considered to be a children’s craft.

I’m not sure bracelet making are geared towards a certain age. Lots of adults make bracelets and wear them. To me I think that swear words should be crossed out like you said because they are not good words and can make anyone uncomfortable

@2006_Mandy yea bracelets are for everyone! But there are a lot of kids on this site and it’s not that bracelet making is targeted towards kids it’s that the site is targeted towards kids. Not even that the site is targeted towards kids, it’s just supposed to be a friendly community and I know adults and teens tend to use swears more but it can still make some people more comfortable

@Elise64 agreed there are many many children on here and even as a teen I am still a minor and a child. Bracelets aren’t targeted towards one audience but they defientely seem to appeal the most towards children for sure and I know that as a teen I feel uncomfortable seeing or hearing swear words period

I know this was created a while ago but I have had people cuss at me on this app and even though I am not super young I still do not wish to see cuss words. I agree with you.

This is one of them many reasons why everything here gets moderated. Even if there was chat filters, I feel like people would try to find a way around them. It's a good suggestion, maybe something you should contact admin or a mod about, but it might already be on admin's to-do list.

Hi @SavannaL

We moderators have discussed this with admin and came to the conclusion that a filter like this wouldn't help a lot because people might start to censor words in creative ways to get around the filter.

In general if there's something going on in the forum or in the comments we'll see it sooner or later. If something is going on in the chat feel free to tag a few moderators so we see it and then can immediately remove it.

@halokiwi Yes, that's what I figured... people would probably try to write around it.
