I have a problem.

There's this guy who downloaded two of my projects and uploaded them. It's basically the same thing, but he replaced my name with his name. Now people think that he created them himself, and now, they're getting more popular than the origionals. I politely asked him to give credit to me, but he didn't listen.

What should I do?

Flag it, or leave a comment saying "Look! It says based on my project!"

Report it to the Scratch team. The same thing happened to me once.

Re: I have a problem.

I have an idea; Tell the scratch team to make him. Then his can stay there, and like it's popular, everyone will go to your project  big_smile
If you want it erased, just flag the project.
