Scratch

Yep, just use the "contact us" form. I think there may even be a whole option to report a user where it asks you why you are contacting.

Can someone please report [removed] for me for his inappropriate picture? Here's his profile so you can see it for yourself. http://scratch.mit.edu/users/[removed]

[Note from moderator - Please don't post the names of other Scatcher's in the forums when you think there is a problem...that often leads to fights.  Just use the Flag or Report features or the Contact Us form - that will let the Scratch Team know privately that there might be a problem so they can deal with it]

What are some of the inappropriate pics he has made? (I mean [removed])

Assuming a person has 3 flagged and deleted projects. I think it's quite obvious that this person isn't using Scratch for what it's meant to be used for.

Maybe there should be a kind of 3 strikes rule. 3 reported and deleted projects gets your account banned. If It was up to me, I'd make it 1, but just to be fair, perhaps 3

Having 3 projects reported and Taken down shouldn't really get you banned. In some cases, it does, but there are also minor reasons that a project could be taken down for, reasons that don't really have a severity for you to be banned at 3 strikes. For example, if there was a curse word, or some blood, or maybe a copyright infringment? I'm not too sure about that last one because of Scratch's copyright policies.

I've never heard of a project being deleted because of copyright policies. But think about it, having 3 consecutive projects with swear words is like posting a forum topic with swear words. It's not very tolerable. I can't really say anything about blood, I haven't seen anything that looks enough like blood to be deleted.

Would this be like some Automatic Program or just a plan for the people in charge of bans to follow?

In what are you referring that to?

We already follow a similar policy 

Basically, when someone posts a project or comment that is mildly inappropriate, in most cases we'll send a notification, just so they know and have a warning that they are a bit out of bounds.  If it continues (but mildly), we'll give another warning. If it keeps up, we'll block the account.

But blocks don't last permanently - it just means they have to discuss things with us to make sure they know the guidelines. If we feel confident that they will respect the Terms of Use, then we will unblock the account.
