Ever got a comment on your project or a post on your thread like this?


When someone does this it is considered 'trolling'. Trolling is when someone decides to post something off-topic, that is rude or hurtful, just to get a reaction.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So How Do I Stop It?

Trolls are here for one thing. To annoy us. To get a reaction from us. So the best way to stop trolls is to not react!

When you get a rude comment like the one above, here's what to do:

◕ DON'T react. Don't even reply to them. Replying or reacting to them is what they want, eg. 'feeding the trolls'.
◕ If they are making rude comments on your projects, click the 'flag as inappropriate' button at the bottom left of their comment next to 'reply'.

◕ If the rude comments continue, report the incident(s) to the Scratch Team. You can do that by clicking here.
◕ Add the person making rude comments on your projects to your ignore list if you no longer wish to recieve comments from them:

◕ If they are posting rude things on your forum thread, just ignore them as above. If they continue to be rude and disruptive, click the 'report' button at the bottom right of their post:

Questions? Problems?

◕ If you still have problems with 'trolls' on your projects/threads, then tell us about it on this thread. Many scratch members in the community would be glad to help you 
◕ If you have any questions, then post them in this thread. I will try and answer them and be as helpful as possible.

I have something to add to that: THE SUGAR BOWL METHOD (only use if ignoring them hasn't worked. WARNING: be cautious of your own comments. You may be labelled as annoying, but do you need these people in your life anyways?): If you have to reply, though, act sweet. Then friend them. Be as sickeningly sweet as cotton candy. Don't counter-attack with your own flames. Maybe there will be a reaction, but you can use my favorite saying, "I'm just trying to be NICE to you." Chances are, they will feel guilty and stop. If not, there happens to be a lovely little thing to the left called the ignore list. Use it. You aren't offending another user, and it's actually entertaining in the meantime to come up with a whole army of angelic comments.

How did you post those links!?

I didn't post them, but you type the URL in.

Me either. 
How did you post external links when you are a new Scratcher?

New Scratchers can't post links outside of Scratch.

Anyways, [/offtopic].

Now that I think about it, I don't get it either. And I posted it. I fail at life. I wrote this at about 12:30.
