I need a Scratch Team member: Petition to repeal a removed project

My project Minor Differences Part 3 was a comic from theoatmeal.com that i found hilarious and I had to share it. It was recently removed.

I read the terms of use and this is what I found:

"Help keep the site friendly. If you feel others would find a project or comment mean, insulting, too violent, or otherwise inappropriate, click the link that says "flag as inappropriate."  In the Forums, you can do the same thing by clicking on the "Report" link below a post. The Scratch team will review, and may remove any project, comment or post."

I acknowledge it had crude language and I mentioned that at the beginning of the project saying people should be mature about it. Everyone knows those word and what they mean.

It was not made to offend people, the comic was just for hilarity. In no way it could actually OFFEND someone.

So please Scratch Team put the project back.

Edit the words and re upload it, cross out in red/black or erase it with white, then put your changed word in front, that way it is appropriate for all ages.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

Bad language is still not allowed on any part of the Scratch website. Even if I say something like *.

Re: I need a Scratch Team member: Petition to repeal a removed project

Unfortunately, Scratch is a site with many young kids. As a result, anything containing profanity or crude content, no matter what the context, can't be allowed.

Bad language is generally what makes things funny, if it isn't the language, you are usually just laughing out of something's stupidity

You sir, have one undeveloped since of humor. Bad language is inappropriate and NOT needed to be funny without stupidity, that's what puns are for.  smile


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

Yes, if you can't make humor without bad language, then you are not good at that. It isn't necessary.

I don't think what i said was very clear, i meant it makes things funnier. Puns are funny at times,  and i can make humor without bad language, but the comic wasn't mine

Re: I need a Scratch Team member: Petition to repeal a removed project

The Scratch Team is probably not going to put a removed project back if it has crude language in it. Projects have been taken down before for the same reason and the project owners often times had to upload a "cleaned up" version of the project instead.

In any case, you'll probably have to contact the Scratch Team here to talk with them about the reasons for project removal.

Re: I need a Scratch Team member: Petition to repeal a removed project

Please understand this.

Scratch is a site for all ages, and any type of swearing isn't allowed. If you really want to share bad stuff, go on another site.

And I know that site, he does make funny things, but they aren't appropriate on Scratch.

Re: I need a Scratch Team member: Petition to repeal a removed project

I'm sorry but that project was reviewed by the Scratch Team and the language and (some of the themes) really didn't seem like it was appropriate for all-ages.  Please contact the Scratch Team directly if you want to discuss this further.
