Improving The Flagging System
Currently when you flag something, it tells you to type in why you flagged it. It was a good feature, but I've thought of an idea to make it better.
When you click "flag", it should list reasons to select. Examples: "too violent", "mean to other members of Scratch", "inappropriate language", etc. Then you type in more details.
This might reduce flagging of projects just because people don't like them.
Support?

Supported.
There should be an 'Other' Option for the ones that aren't specified in the examples. And maybe just have it that you don't really need the details, but you need the reasons.

Re: Improving The Flagging System
Can you explain how it would reduce the I don't like this flags?

Re: Improving The Flagging System
I don't think it'll help much and be very useful, but I wouldn't mind if this were implemented.

Re: Improving The Flagging System
I think this is an excellent idea. I also think:
You should be able to specify also various parts of the project that you think should be flagged - for example when it gets up to a battle scene with blood you can click the flag button, it will record a picture of the project immediately then a flag form will pop up. The name of the project and it's creator's username will already be embedded in the form, and you can select your reasons for flagging the project, along with specific details. Then you can click 'Submit' to send the form along to one of the moderators, who will then decide what to do.

But then since people are flagging for no reason, they'd just choose a random reason, and press report.
Maybe persistent inappropriate reporters (reporting for random reason) could get a warning...

Re: Improving The Flagging System
I don't necessarily think this will cut down on people abusing the flagging problem, but I do like the option to categorize the issues so the Scratch Team has a better idea of what they need to review the project for. I wouldn't mind if this were implemented. 
The only thing is that typing in details should be required, as with the current flagging system - that way, it's less likely someone will abuse the flagging system by simply selecting a reason only.

Re: Improving The Flagging System
@Sanddude-Even you flagged a project cause you didn't like it, it wouldn't work... but I support Sanddude's Idea, version cheddargirl.
