Scratch team should age restrict projects instead of removing them
you know that projects get removed from the site, instead the scratch team could give it a age rating from 6-21, so if scratchers that are too young to view a project, that project will not be visible to them when they roam around the site.

Re: Scratch team should age restrict projects instead of removing them
But why would you want to divide up the community like that? Also, someone who can view those projects might mention it, and other users who can't might get confused...
Anyways, age restriction of features has always been declined.

what if someone lied about their age, pretending to be older saw a horror project rated 18 then got really scared and had nightmares the rest of their life.

Very few users are 18+ and a project that innapropiate shouldn't be on the site.

Then they shouldn't have lied 
In general, when you lie about something on the internet, you have to take your responsibilities for it.

Re: Scratch team should age restrict projects instead of removing them
I'm not a fan of this. People'll just lie about their age, and as Sci said, it'll separate the community and cause confusion.

Then they get what they deserve for lying.
