Hi Hunter -
Thanks for sharing your concerns about this!
Hmm, I'm not sure about that particular situation, but I can tell you that this sort of thing won't happen now. The Scratch Team reviews every project that is flagged. It's still possible that a project could get flagged by the community so many times that it would be removed temporarily. But once we reviewed the flags and saw that the project wasn't inappropriate, we would restore it to the site, and make it impossible for flags to remove it again.

That's why there are two different censored messages: One with Gobo saying that the community censored the project, and we will review it:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/lightnin101/661486

And one with Scratch Cat, that says that the Scratch Team removed the project.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/lightnin101/661487

You won't be able to find any examples of the Gobo message on the site, because we always review them and either restore the project, or confirm that it should be censored (which changes the message to the Scratch cat one).

I hope this addresses your concerns! 

XD at jacool, RICK ROLL!?!? OH NOES!!! Anyways, A few of my projects got flagged and removed, 1 NEEDED to be flagged, and the other was a bring back doody one. I deleted them, But 1 was not bad, doodyhaters -_-

ive seen people go through the filter using $ <--Dollar sign and @ and T /-\ |_ |< | |\| G like T |-| | $

I saw a couple projects with the c word in them

You could change both of the messages to the Rick Roll'd video

I have a way to avoid that.  At the end of animation, you write, "Before you post any hateful comments, please read the project notes.  That almost always works for me.

"

That would be too hard for young Scratch members to read.
Of course, Scratch should have a filter like Sulake's Habbo Hotel does, it ignores all dots, commas, dashes and symbols and it would just filter it if it contains a swearword (a.k.a. Bobba)

i wish there was a place to view banned projects for people who are mature enough to view them

Yeah but there's this person Dreameater and s/he has loads of innapropriate projects but no one seems to notice and I've just started anew gallery and s/he even added in a project that had been taken off the web

I looked at Dreameater's stuff and there's nothing there.  Usually there's an indication of a project being deleted.

Look at my post before this one.

[removed by moderator] sent me Death Threats. Please ban him immediately to stop the harrasment
