Well, there is no reason to punish someone who misspelled a word….. I think it should be ok.

Lol really?

Really! It would never make sense to punish someone for one small typo!

Umm… Two of my friends have been banned, and they both seemed to be banned unfairly. What should I do? Can I un-ban them?

It doesn't have to be perfect!

As long as it does not appear to be supposed to be something inappropriate.

Ok. So I've been thinking. With the new cloud variables and everything. If I were to make an online leader board, maybe people would be able to post short messages along with their score like “Try to beat my score!” And it would show up on a cloud list next to their score. The problem is that, as many of you know already, cloud variables are a very easy way for people to post inappropriate content. So would it be allowed for me to make a list of a bunch of swear words within the project, and have it automatically block all those words if someone tries to post them? The only problem is that people would be able to still see inside the project and read all the swear words within that list. So would that be okay or not?

We are trying to follow the guidelines. That is why we are asking about what we want to share is ok on this thread.

Is it okay if I put a jumpscare of a picture of jeff the killer on this project? I got it from the creepypasta wiki and here is my project link: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/14088030/

No, because then people could look inside and see the swear words. It's a cool idea, but even with a good swear detector, you could still bully. I could easily say something really mean without swearing. (I can't think of anything now cuz I'm just too nice ) The best would be to have either a safe chat style thing, or, based on your score, you could earn different types of messages.

So, out of curiosity, are safe chats (chats where users can choose from pre-programmed messages) allowed? I ask because I'm slightly interested in making a MMORG on here (if it is even possible, which I think it should be) and I don't want to get in trouble. Messages would be stuff like “Hey, *player's username*, want to go fight some monsters in the desert?” “Sure, *player's username*, I'd love to!” and stuff like that.

A user commented on a project that I had made.
I looked at the user's projects (out of curiosity) and I noticed they had made the same exact project, had not remixed it (so it seemed original), and not given me any credit.
I looked at the date it was last updated just to make sure that it wasn't thought of by the person on their own, and It was updated the day they commented on my project.
I asked if they could give me a little bit of credit, but I haven't gotten a reply or been acknowledged.

I was wondering if this project was against the Scratch Community Guidelines and if it would be okay to flag the project?
