I was referencing some projects with blatant explicit content, not just inappropriate music, but sexual references and possibly offensive religious superiority. I rarely use the audio anyways so I don't notice the music so much, but I've seen some extremely disturbing projects.For those cases, if the Scratcher is not well known, then it sometimes goes unnoticed.
Exactly. And then later someone on surprise sees it, and if they were ~7 that could cause all sorts of problems.
Well, regardless of the age of the project, when a 7 year old sees something inappropriate it does cause problems.
I think this is probably good point to say to Scratchers to go looking beyond what is popular and well-known. I'm not saying that we should all go out looking for bad projects, but if Scratchers start looking over the site more, then it shows that Scratchers are looking out for the community, from looking for projects that are interesting and making sure the content on the site is okay.

Hey mintfang. Your post doesn't seem to be relevant to the current discussion at hand - please remember to make a new topic if you'd like to start a new discussion.
But yes, flagging inappropriate projects and comments is the right thing to do - it helps make the Scratch community a happy place that more people can enjoy. Helping the community is great, since kids of all ages check out the Scratch website - so once you report something, the Scratcher will most likely be able to learn from their mistake, and make the website more friendly for everyone. If you're not sure about flagging a particular project or you're not sure about other users' behavior, you can go to the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page, and you can ask the Scratch Team for help.
Thanks! Maybe i will make a new topic for that... LOL i dont even remember posting that!
