Scratch

Okay, guys, sanddude apologized to me AND the Scratch Team. So enough with the 100 sanddudes theory.

Thank you for supporting me, Subh! About the username thing: No you can't eat me, because that's cannibalism. XD, I know I have a delicious username! I named it after my teacher's favorite song, which is called Ice Cream and Cake.

Now back to the flagging. Flagging should stay on the Scratch website, no matter if a user likes it or not (In sanddude's case, he/she doesn't like it). We should keep the flagging process going, but with a few changes. Users should be notifyed if they got a project flagged. That's all I have to say on this topic- for now, that is! 

I saw this!    And users do get notified when a project of there's gets flagged. Two of my projects have gotten flagged, one was not even offensive, and on the other I clearly put "This is not the clean version" in the project notes. I used to support the flagging, but now I just think it's a limitation of what mature people can see to what the immature people can see.

BTW, I'm obviously a he not a he/she because "dude" is in my name.

Saying that it's inappropriate doesn't make it any different. It's still inappropriate. If you want to make something bad, keep it to yourself and don't post it here. Or learn to use another language and post it on your own site.

I hope you realize that Scratch is meant for kids and should be safe for them. Without any rules, Scratch would be full of bloody violance, cussing, p0rn, etc., and it would likely be a site that parents make their kids stay away from.

I don't think I used the P word in a bad way, so I changed it. If I did, go ahead and remove it.

It's not the P word, just something you don't want to say.

Alright, I have a change of opinion. Flagging isn't terrible but it's much too strict.

For bad words we shouldn't censor words like c**p, h*ll, saying the lords name in vain, or the stupid/dumb/idiot type words, which not all parents would allow in their household but much much more than a handful of parents would be okay with. We should only censor the words that most parents wouldn't allow. If we don't do this, then we would only view inappropriate by some people's point of view. But if we do my idea than we would censor based on most people's point of view. Understand?

There is a user named [username removed by moderator] who has a very inappropriate user pic. Here's the link: [URL to userpage removed by moderator]

Hey lasc12, why don't you try contacting the Scratch Team about that? We generally discourage blaming or talking about certain users in a negative way on the forums, as a public place, and reporting them is no different. Contacting the Scratch Team avoids this problem and they'll find that post faster 

You can contact them with the "contact us" link at the bottom of each page 

Oh, sorry. I'll do that.

If only we could flag people with horrible grammar.

If only...

There was a dude who suggested that should count as an instant perma-ban along with a bunch of other dictatorial baloney. I hope you aren't like him.

The Terms of Use state

Help keep the site friendly. If you feel others would find a project or comment mean, insulting, too violent, or otherwise inappropriate, click the link that says "flag as inappropriate."  In the Forums, you can do the same thing by clicking on the "Report" link below a post. The Scratch team will review, and may remove any project, comment or post.

so, anything you think is being mean, insulting, etc-FLAG it.
even if you don't feel it is inappropriate, but you have a friend who would-FLAG it.

should you flag nonsense/spam like:

jkhghdknhthgw he w,tbhghkhf

or should you just delete it?

Well, you can't really delete it from forum posts unless you are a mod... do you mean comments on the website?  If so, then you should flag it (which will also delete it). That sends us a message so we can check that accounts other comments, and consider sending them a notification to stop spamming.

"Us" is the moderators.

Wait.... Lightnin's signature has a link to "how flagging works," and when I watched it, it said that a MODERATOR checks projects that are flagged. Which is right?

Actually, in that project MODERATOR means the members of the Scratch Team who help moderate the main website, not the community moderators. Sorry, we made that project before the community moderator program was founded.

Are you aloud to use cuss words when you are typing the reason for flagging a project?
