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?

Yes.

Wait.... Lightnin's signature has a link to "how flagging works," and when I watched it, it said that a MODERATOR checks projects that are flagged. Which is right?

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).

So why were there forum mods and community mods?

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?

Please don't spam. Posts like that that have no relation to the topic are spam.

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.

Many thanks...I did send email via "contact us." I'll wait till I get a reply...I appreciate your response. 

how dose a vertibal work

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.

it would be nice if there were no inappropriate projects.

its impossible to prevent people from having multiple accounts.

It is.
When you log out, and then register, you get a window telling you have multitipe accounts. All they need to do to prevent it is remove 1 button from the page.

But some people use test accounts. Or group accounts.
