Edit Nov 19: 167 views wHaT?! Edit Nov 28: 200+ views! I’m glad this is getting noticed Note from Hailstorm (please read): Scratch is a nice place overall, and I love it. But I've only recently learned about reporting problems. I never paid too much attention to it, but two weeks ago when I heard moss_shadow was banned, I was so upset. They never did anything to break the guidelines. They simply made projects that were more mature than others. I started getting aware of this problem. When people try to defend themselves or stand up for others (which is definitely something I support and others should too), they are banned or their comment is deleted. Some people are reporting projects for no good reason. Projects should only be reported if it is inappropriate and/or does not follow Scratch guidelines. If you are reading this, please make sure you report for a good reason. DON'T report a project just because you don't like it. That is NOT a reason to report. Reporting something is NOT A JOKE. Sorry that I'm typing a lot but please stick with me- I'm not leaving Scratch or anything, but I have to say - Scratch, you disappoint me. I've seen plenty of people that have been banned for trying to stand up for others or banned for no reason (falsely accused). So what if I'm just in middle school? So what if I'm only a girl sitting on her desk, typing a bunch of words? I can make a difference. So can you. This is becoming a problem and I hope that people become more aware of this. Remix this, let more people know. I hope that Scratch can soon become what I imagined it to be when I came here. This is really upsetting to me and many, many more Scratchers out there. Thank you so much if you stuck with me all the way here. Comment 'NO FALSE REPORTS' if you want to join my studio "No False Reporting", or NFR. Please comment on any name ideas for that studio too, since I don't really like this one lol Thank you @-Riverberry- and @Patrona- for raising this awareness EDIT Nov 24, 2024~ Okay now I'm really upset cause it's been four years since the original project came out and nothing has changed. EDIT Nov 27, 2024~ I'm disappointed to ruin the happy vibe as Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but I have to put this out there. Scratch... You are banning people for being WHO THEY ARE?! You have banned countless Scratchers because they mention their disabilities. Am I not allowed to be who I am? What is going on? Hey- don't blame it all on Scratch Team either. People *reported* the innocent people who mention their depression, anxiety, and disabilities. I'm sorry, but wth?! Are you going to report me for having myopia? For having depression? For mourning over a dead friend? It's no one's fault that myopia runs through my family. Scratch... what have you become?
