False project flaggers
It happened to me today. A perfectly normal project that took an hour to make (thats long by my standards) with NOTHING inappropriate was flagged by multiple users which was probably a false flagger making multiple accounts so watch out for them. The storyline for the short is as it follows: My character blaze has to fight a dragon to save block library and when he does he goes into the library to be thanked by its owner, blocky. There is no inappropriate language in it. Maybe it was a user in another language mistaking it. But, that would be ONE user. This was auto-block because multiple users did it. I dont know who but, if I find out I will tell the team ASAP notify them that if they ban them they should IP ban them since they have multiple accounts to do this. Discuss if this happened to you.
EDIT: I have plans to re-upload the project later.
ANOTHER EDIT: I think it might be caused by the fact that I tried to upload it during the scratchR/ server crash last night.

Re: False project flaggers
Actually, that wasn't a false flagger - that problem was happening to everybody. I think the reason that was happening was because the Scratch site was down yesterday, and project uploads were temporarily disabled. It's all resolved now though, so you can safely upload your project. ^^
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

It was [names removed by moderator]. they flagged all the newest projects. The scratch team fixed it, though.
Just finished putting it back up. I will mention them to stop them (I know the passwords to 3 accounts and 2 I dont own, I am NOT a hacker one is my sisters which we share passwords on and another is my real life friend, he told me it.) so if they do I can do that to 2 of [names removed by moderator] projects. Also can I get [names removed by moderator] so I can do the same to him if he helps? Here is a link: here

First point: It had nothing to do with anybody flagging projects. It was a server problem that was not allowing projects to be uploaded. Then, the database was showing the missing projects as flagged. But they were not.
Second point: Even if it had been somebody flagging them, taking revenge on them is not the right approach. That could get your account blocked for going against the Community Guidelines. Instead, it would be better to use the Contact Us button at the bottom of every page to let the Scratch Team know what your problem is so they can handle it for you.
