To make the flagging system even better, here's what should happen:
1: Notifications about your project or comment flagged
and....
2: Being able to flag users with innapropriete icons or usernames.
These are sugestions for the Scratch Team for the next site update or future updates.

I agree with #2 - but for now you'll just have to use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of each page, which serves its purpose well enough.
As for #1... It might actually sort of flip the system in that the user could update the project to take out inappropriate content after it's been flagged, but before a member of the Scratch Team sees it. Also, I don't see what uses it might have...

Might have what?

I think notifications would be good - say a scratcher uploaded a project with some violence. In his house, this is okay, but others might find it offensive. Somebody flags it, the maker gets a message, and he quickly edits out the violence. The project is not removed, and the user is happy! If he didn't edit out the violence, a moderator would remove the project. Moderators would also have a link to see the flagged version of the project if they wanted.

The only problem with what you said is that violence is allowed.

That makes sense. Maybe if it gets flagged, a moderator could review it and see if it should be taken off the site; if it just gets close they could get a notification...
