┆stop blaming the scratch team ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞ ̑̑ೃ࿔ — — — * ˚ ✦ intro ⠀⠀➥ hey guys! welcome to my first rant! today we'll be talking about the fact that we SHOULD NOT blame everything on the scratch team. ⠀⠀➥ before we begin, please note that i DO NOT intend to hurt/offend anyone in any way. i am simply trying to help you guys understand things from a perspective that is probably rather different to your own. please ⠀⠀➥ DO NOT debate and argue in the comments! this is just a filler — — — * ˚ ✦ filterbot ⠀⠀➥ people often complain about the filterbot for being annoying and inaccurate. they then accuse the scratch team for this. but actually, do you ever wonder why the filterbot is made? it is made to avoid scratchers from spreading personal information (including socials) and saying inappropriate things! i agree that the filterbot might not always be accurate, and i personally find it quite annoying as well, but they make every accusation for a reason. for example, the last few letter of one word and the first letter of the word after that could form a bad word or social media name! plus, a simple way to solve this is to try to rephrase the words a bit. please try to be more understanding, and forgive the filterbot for accusing you of bad words if that's not the case. it's just a bot, after all! :D — — — * ˚ ✦ scratch team complaints ⠀⠀➥ complaining about the scratch team is an incredibly rude thing to do. when you make projects about how much you hate them and how annoying you find them, do you every consider the fact that they worked really hard on building this website? the scratch team doesn't have the time and capacity to monitor every single little problem on scratch. besides, while you complain about the server being down, the scratch team are working hard on fixing bugs! i really hope you guys can be more conscious of their hard work and determination! we should really thank them! — — — * ˚ ✦ socials ⠀⠀➥ last but not least, it brings us to the "sharing social media accounts" problem. scratch is NOT a social media platform. it may be semi-social media, but it is actually designed for creating projects, sharing and receiving feedback from the community, and boosting our coding skills! i understand that scratch is a very safe platform to make online friends, but please understand that although i completely agree we're allowed to do that, it is just not the main purpose of scratch. soo, please don't complain so much about this problem please. thanks! — — — * ˚ ✦ conclusion ⠀⠀➥ thank you guys so much for reading this! in conclusion, i hope that you can all be a little more understanding about the scratch team. thanks again! <3 — — — * ˚ ✦ credits ⠀⠀➥ for the desc inspiration!
