Do community moderators do stuff on the main site, or just the forums?

They can do stuff on the main site (Their status was changed from Forum Moderator to Community Moderator a while back) but I think it's limited, they can't ban on the main site.

Ok, thanks. What exactly do they do on the main site?

Are there any mods that are the other way around? (like, everything on mainsite, little on forums)

I'm pretty sure there's not.

They can temporarily censor projects, I believe, but that's only until an Admin can check it out. That's pretty much it.

I actually think they can't do anything on the main site. Let me go look..
*looks around forums*
Here it is! (May be outdated though

EDIT: Aha! I think i found more evidence that they don't have authority on the main site.

What does #4 mean? As far as I can understand, it means they have no true authority on the main website, but they have a responsibility to flag stuff that goes against the ToU

@stevetheipad: The name change was only meant to reflect that Scratch is more of a community than just forums, i think

We don't do nearly as much on the main site as on the forums, but we still have some basic moderation abilities over there - we have the option to censor any project or comment we flag that's in clear/excessive violation of Scratch's guidelines.

Alright, thanks everyone! Closing this thread now.
