Until this is approved/denied can we flag projects and ask for them to be marked as not for everyone so they aren't shown on the home page?

We'd rather you didn't - the admins have enough to do without fine-tuning the frontpage to suit disgruntled individuals.  There are a couple of other options.  You can delete the project...or you can share it on the site from an alternate account.  If it still makes it to the frontpage - then you can then point out to an admin that it is from an alt account.  We would then block the alt account from the front page - not just the project.  That is a one-time change that doesn't take that long to put in place and once done, doesn't take any more effort

This is a bit offtopic, but why do you block alt accounts?

And steve, you can't flag your own project, and once you've flagged one, you can't see it anymore.

Separate account.

I like this idea! I think I had a similar idea a few days ago, but I never really got around to posting it. When you reach the point that it's very easy to get front page without putting a lot of effort into a project, I often only want my best projects to get front paged, and not the less impressive ones. I support this idea.

Alt accounts are usually blocked because it's unfair to others in terms of the front page criteria - imagine if someone made a whole bunch of account and all project from the main account and alt accounts just keep hitting the front page! 

Alt accounts being alternate accounts, correct?

Do you mean that alt accounts are completely blocked from hitting it, or just at the same time?

I support. Never had this problem, but I know how some of the famous people feel about this.

Supportation!

You do know you could just create an alt and place all unwanted or dated projects there...?
Or just take down any undesired projects?
This change is quite unnecessary...

But what if you're against deleting (like me), or don't want to make an alt account?

Why? Why would you want your project to be less popular? You may as well not post it then!
