Re: What's Going On?
Good point. Here are the links for any people interested:

There are too many.
Either a trick (alts?), or... Well, I'm not sure.

Re: What's Going On?
I forgot to say, some of them are made by the same scratcher. More evidence for spam/a trick/a joke?
Grr... 180 second rule.

Re: What's Going On?
I don't really think reporting the projects with "what is going on" is a good idea 
Anyway, what do you think it is, coolhogs? For me it's probably spam, as there just wan't enough time for the scratch team to check and delete all of the projects.

Re: What's Going On?
I don't think that's the actual "removed project" project though. Maybe a moderator or scratch team member will come to answer, so lets wait. (And chat with my chatbot)

Re: What's Going On?

So I took a look at the projects
It's probably a trick. None of the projects are really censored. I guess someone thought it would be funny to upload copies of the default censored project?
Seems like the trend is still going on, and it's not a pretty funny joke since it takes up space from actual Scratch projects. It might be a good idea to flag those projects when you see them so the ST can take a look.

i dont think its uploading copies of a censored project, a lot of them looked like they could have been made for school and when you download it doesnt work

Given the nature of the situation, I doubt it. Censored projects aren't downloadable to begin with.
Anyway, I tried to clean it up the best I could. They still keep coming, so keep on flagging them down.

Re: What's Going On?
I think it's a server problem myself. I have seen this happen several times before.
In this case, it only seems to be affecting accounts that have never uploaded a project before. Last time it happened, I think it was a permissions problem. I've sent out some emails to hopefully get the sys admins to take a look at it.

Censored projects can still be downloaded by Scratch Team members. Yet I can't download these; I either get an IO error or a Bad Header error. So the projects are not being stored on the server properly.
