I've noticed a series of projects called "Push the Button," it has no explicit content but It's definitely not suitable for children. It instucts you to push a buttton and when you do a startling face suddenly pops up. These are often known as "screamers" or "sabatoges" on the internet. If anyone sees anything like this, PLEASE flag it. They can terrify young children and mentally scar them for life. That actually happened to me when I was young and I'm still not over it to this day.

Please explain how my project scars children for life.

I'd say it scars them for a few seconds, then they get back to normal. It even has 7 LoveIts and 4 people have favorited it.

Re: Innappropriate or offensive projects on scratch

beny: once you flag a project as inappropriate there is no need to post it on this forum. Thanks for helping monitor the site.

Re: Innappropriate or offensive projects on scratch

As far as "noob" goes - it's very much an oversimplification to say it's automatically an insult, except perhaps in the middle of playing a game - video or otherwise.  In fact, many Scratch postings look like they were written by newcomers to programming - probably because they were.

(Note that applied to my golf game, it would be insulting - also accurate.)

The entire Wiki section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noob is rather interesting - note that editing of that section is also restricted and that you're redirected from "noob" to to "newbie" (at least today).

Re: Innappropriate or offensive projects on scratch

Given that this is a site for people to come and learn scratch, *everyone* is a noob.  Even those of us who have pulled of some neat projects can learn more.  No project is stupid if it teaches the person who created it something new about scratch.

The true "noobs" in a learning community like this - the people who really don't have a clue what this community is about - are those that feel it necessary to make negative comments about somebody elses project without being able to offer any advice on improving it.

Re: Innappropriate or offensive projects on scratch

you know how google has a thing called mark as spam on comments well maybe we could put that on the  every comment and we should be able to flag the comment itself because the project may be very enjoyable and we may like it so we won' have to flag the project! Just a suggestion

I saw a user with an inapropriate picture. His username is Gelbesbrot.


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Innappropriate or offensive projects on scratch

i like the voilence thingy, but i have something, only distantly related to this topic, theres a scratch user, Glough, he copies alot of projects says there his, and when someone blames him for copying he 1. Calls that person a noob 2. says he makes $500k a year 3.says we dont have any friends 4.says we all sleep in our parents attic(some of us dont even have attics???) 5.says he added a dot in the background 6.a combination of any of the above
