Copyers
Somebody downloaded my project, renamed it, and posted it. They didn't change mine AT ALL. This should be fixed because the person didn't give me or the orginal creator any credit. Having the option to remove peoples remixes of your projects would be nice to.

Re: Copyers
That's project theft - flag the project as being a copy of yours. Give a link to your project in the flag and make it very clear that the project you're flagging is an exact copy of yours.

Re: Copyers
To add to what Jonathan said, you should ask the copyer to delete the project, and tell them that project theft is wrong before you flag.

Re: Copyers
puppetadventurer,
I said "the person didn't give me or the orginal creator" sry, no harm done. as for pathville, the path going through the middle of the screen was a good idea. I tried doing it sideways but it didn't look right. sry, when the next pathville comes out i will change it or, you can remix my project to take of any project theft.
Again, terribly sry.

Or e-mail the Scratch team if the project is still there after you report it.
Usually that's not necessary - we check every project that is flagged. If it's a remix, it's likely your account will get a notification explaining our policy about remixing. But if it's a copy (without credit), we'll probably take it down.
It's tricky because it doesn't seem bad if, say, someone new to Scratch downloaded and then shared a project just to learn how to do it. But of course, sharing a project with the intention of taking credit for someone else's work isn't cool...

If you have an issue with a specific Scratcher, please contact the Scratch Team via the Contact Us link. Never mention a specific person by name on the forums.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
