THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH BOTS, MASS REPORTING AND POOR MODERATION, EVEN MORE TOO! We have to talk, Scratch. 1. Scratch Team uses automated systems, often referred to as bots, to filter and moderate content on the platform, these automated systems identify and remove potentially inappropriate content and words, but they can make mistakes, MOSTLY. Sometimes filtering harmless words or misjudging projects. This is really bad, as it can get people banned for no reason, along with bot creators like @ScratchStreak but this is just @Viiperrr who made a challenge 4 YouTube, but there are some accounts that are actual bots. 2. The community guidelines are often unclear, vague and not the smartest, like no outside links, making it hard for users to understand what actions could lead to a ban. My friend got banned for the no currency systems rule when he made a remake of the popular Roblox game: Grow a Garden, I'll touch on this later. 3. Many users report being banned for reasons that don't clearly violate the guidelines, or for minor infractions, aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddddd we're back to my friend's account, GETTING TERMINATED FOR A YEAR, OVER GROW A GARDEN, A GAME ABOUT SELLING PLANTS, What the frick! oh, I can get banned for saying that too. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA The process for appealing bans is ineffective too, with users sometimes not receiving responses or receiving automated, unhelpful replies. Which is really bad because, when my homie appealed the ban for MAKING GROW A GARDEN MAY I REMIND YOU, he didn't get a reply, FOR 3 WEEKS and it just said when he finally got the message: "After reviewing this ban, we have found that the ban is reasonable, and you won't get your account back." WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HOLY WACK 3 WEEKS FOR NOTHING. 4. The Scratch Team is perceived as understaffed, leading to reliance on automated moderation systems and mass reporting, which can lead to unfair bans. May I remind you that they're owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but I can't blame anyone. It's a big job Change your profile pic to Clippy, add to every studio possible and remix to save @Scratch so it's a better place
