i hate people who report projects cause their jealous

okay, just cause your jealolus does'nt mean you should report it. somethings really are innapropriate, and now i cant tell the difference.  Is mit being controlled by peple who report for the wrong reasons? okay, so just cause somone copied ur prolject in their own form and did'nt give u any credit, is that a real reason to report? i mean, i've never done it, but is'nt copying the sincerest form of flattery? what's your opinion

Depends on how much is copied. If it is the exact same project, then it is considered plagarism. If they changed it up a bit, they probably should give credit, but they don't have too.

good thinking, but sometimes, if they say, i got this from -------, it might be okay, i mean, you should always ask the person they copied before reporting it, it might be okay with them

The Scratch Team reviews each case and independently decides if a project should remain censored or not. Nothing gets censored for more than a few days without someone in the Scratch Team reviewing it.

It hasn't happened to me, but as long as they change it up they don't need to give you credit unless you asked them to on the original project. If they just posted the same project you made without changing it, my first step would be to ask them to take it down.
