disclaimer: i know a lot of people are going to disagree with several points in this project. and that's okay. you can share your opinion and it's absolutely acceptable, whatever it may be. however, i will be deleting rude or insulting comments so please be mindful of your language if you disagree. the comm's toxicity has steadily increased over the past few years and it's not a problem that will just go away on its own. a lot of scratchers may not necessarily be the nice, kind, humble people you think they are. of course many truly ARE nice, but a lot of them are just pretenders and it's incredibly sad that that's the case. people don't have respect for each other's opinions anymore and it shows. some people have gotten way too comfortable with the personal info they share online. it's a GROWING problem on scratch and with the aes comm especially. g4nging up on someone in an argument isn't fair. i've noticed a few people being collectively considered as "opps" and then getting hate sent to them. if you don't like someone or had an argument with them, that's fair, reasonable, whatever. handle it. but don't drag the problem on in the comm ( this applies to said "opps" AND the people naming them as so ). scratchers need to start minding what they say on here. it's a kids coding website and it's not a place for you to make dirty jokes or use swears or slurs. if you have to, go on cord or pin. keep this stuff off of what is fundamentally a kids' coding website. if scratch team has banned your account, there is probably a legitimate reason ( with some exceptions ). don't keep making new accs to get around a ban. if you know for sure you haven't done anything wrong, that's different and your plight is understandable. but if you know for a fact you HAVE said some questionable stuff or done something inappropriate, accept the verdict and move on. some scratchers are without a doubt, toxic. and many of the popular ones actually get away with it and no one tells them anything. this applies to other platforms too, where someone seems so famous and untouchable that no one dares think otherwise of them. but i've noticed it's especially bad on scratch. please leave thoughts in the comments and be respectful. if you believe something i have said is disrespectful or targeted, you can let me know and i will address your comment ^^ thank you for reading <3
