Scratch

As a general rule of thumb, before uploading a project, consider whether it's appropriate for all ages. If it isn't, it's not appropriate for Scratch.

That's basically the rule for all violence and blood-related projects.

After all, they were given an 8pti8n.

You should design your entire project so that it can be viewed by all ages.  Asking questions (like giving warnings) is likely to just raise the curiosity level and lead to more viewings by people that really shouldn't be doing it.  Then we have a bunch of unhappy kids, teachers, and parents.   

Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted to hear.

Wouldn't that be their fault though?

Sorry if this sounds like I'm arguing, I don't mean for it to sound the way it does.

Well, the Terms of Use state: When sharing projects or posting comments, remember that people of many different ages and backgrounds will see your contributions. and 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."

When we join the website, we are expected to adhere to those guidelines when we make our projects. So we do end up taking fault when we post something on the Scratch website that isn't supposed to be there in the first place.

Maybe you could opt for sharing the violent project off-site?

it is as long as its not excessive

Why sure! AS long it is appropriate, such as a project informing others about the differnet blood transfusions, the various types of blood, O type, AB type, etc, etc. However, you should be careful if it's not what I was talking about above. lol There are alot of younger kids on Scratch, so just make sure it's not too bloody.
