Are we supposed to flag seizure projects?
Are we supposed to flag those seizure projects which are often called SEIZURE ALERT and have a ton of flashing lights? Whenever I see one I get afraid that someone with seizures will click on it by accident...

Re: Are we supposed to flag seizure projects?
Interesting question, I'm curious about that too now that you mention it. I mean, either way, if you don't know, don't flag it, and leave it to the Scratch Team to fix. Better wait for a moderator to come a long with the answer. Anyway, whats the point to those projects anyways?

I'd actually say that you should flag it if it could be harmful.

I actually had a project removed three years ago because it had strobe effects, even with a warning. You probably should flag them.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Well, I just didn't allow one of those into the SDS.
But I might have if I hadn't known of this thread lol.

It's a good question! I'm going to ask around since I don't really know

Hey, is this going to be answered? :3 I'm actually wondering myself.... ^^"
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. >.>Offline

Tell you what...let's flag them only if they don't have sufficient warning of some kind in the project name, project notes or in the project itself. That way people suffering from conditions that are sensitive to flashing lights can avoid them. Does that sound reasonable?

Yes, I think that's the most reasonable decision. Flashing effects are much too common to ban them just like that.

OK ^_^
I meant projects which sem to have no point other than to give people seizures. Those projects usually have only a change colour script in them and nothing else.
