Re: When flagging a project as inappropriate

I just flagged a project that I thought was inappropriate, but I don't know if other people view it like that! Is it okay that I flagged?

When you flag a project as inappropriate, you are now asked to type in a reason.

Your reason can be very brief. Even very short explanations can help us in evaluating whether to delete the project.

Your reasons are sent only to the MIT Scratch team, and they will not be viewed by anyone outside the team. In particular, the reasons will not be viewed by the creator of the project.

Please note that projects are automatically deleted when the number of flags passes a certain threshold. This automatic process is useful to prevent inappropriate projects being on the site for long periods of time while the Scratch team is not checking emails (for example, late at night). The Scratch team can later restore an automatically-deleted project if it finds that the project is appropriate for the site.

More work needs to be done on the flagging system, but we believe that this is a step forward.

We would like to thank AngelEyra for implementing this new feature.

I Like This Speech.Maybe It's Sent To Scratch Team In The You Have___Messages Box. No  sad  That Was A Stupid Idea.It Should Go To E-Mail. I Agree That The Flagging System Needs To Be Worked On.  Feel Free To Quote!

Actually, in that project MODERATOR means the members of the Scratch Team who help moderate the main website, not the community moderators. Sorry, we made that project before the community moderator program was founded.

What Do You Mean?

Back then, "Moderator" referred to someone on the Scratch Team. Nowadays, "Moderator" usually refers to Community Moderators (who currently do not have powers on the main site).

Erm, wha? Today's Community Moderators are currently Forums Moderators as of the moment (the title was just changed).

Regardless, I'm not sure what prompted the created of the Forum/Community Moderator Program. Perhaps the Scratch Team felt they needed moderators on the forums since helping to take care of the main site is a huge task in itself.

I thought before the title change there were some that were Forum Moderators, and some Community Moderators. What was the difference, if any?

Or, as I am (attempting to be) working on, there could be a program that ignores spce, hypens, apostophes, punctuation, ect.  So then, it would be easier to block inaproppriate words.  Probably JavaScript (NOT Java, what Scratch runs in, but rather a code somewhat similar to HTML) would be best for that.

Re: When flagging a project as inappropriate

I am a teacher and, it appears that one of my students created username, etc. and posted something inappropriate which has resulted in our school's ip address being blocked so even I am unable to look at these forums for information, help, advice, etc. I sent an email asking for some info so hopefully I can identify the student. How long might it take for me to get a response? Any ideas? Thanks so much. I'm sorry/sad that one of my students was inappropriate...thanks.

This stuff is generally better to discuss privately with the Scratch team, instead of on the forums where everybody can see it.  wink

Your welcome.  smile

If the Scratch team doesn't reply soon, don't worry. They read and reply to every one, it's just that they have a lot to go through.

If the project is an exact copy (or very, very close; a pixel added, the font changed, etc.), go ahead. Give a link to the original project in the flag description though; they'll need to compare the two projects. Also make it clear that the project is not an okay remix; the Scratch Team might assume that you're simply mad at remixers.

My project "Forward" was remixed by someone, who changed almost nothing. They might have had to change a number. I saw a few good comments on it and wanted those. So I flagged it, saying it's a direct copy with no absolutely noticeable changes. What do I get? "Please support remixing yada yada"


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

But some people use test accounts. Or group accounts.
