Stop the automatic banner from banning people from mass-reporting alerts

system64

So far, i have been banned twice because of other people mass-reporting my projects. I think that this shouldn't happen.

Especially when a bunch of people are mad about something that's not against the rules and decide to mass-report for no good reason.

^^ I've seen the abuse of the report feature cause bans.

Semi-support. While most people do report sensibly and are getting unneeded alerts from this, removing it would allow trolls to spam the scratch team with report comments and therefore slow down the reporting process.

He's referring to getting banned because a bunch of people reported him, even when the ST didn't review the reports.

Semi-support, trolls could take advantage of that, but when others are angry about something that doesn't break the guidelines, then this is good. Plus, if you were banned for having projects mass-reported even though they are completely appropriate, then the people who are doing it should be the ones who get alerts/ban.

Support. I think if it gets mass-reported, it should just be marked as “suspicious”

I'm more stunned that the automatic banner works like this to begin with. It needs to be removed ASAP before some group of kids decide to mass report people they don't like to ban them for no reason.

Maybe instead of auto-banning a person, a project with a lot of reports should just have be blocked saying something like “Multiple users have reported this project - it may contain content that violates the community guidelines. It is blocked until the Scratch Team can review it.” Or maybe the project wouldn't be blocked, just have a warning, saying “Are you still sure you want to visit this project?”

I think its important for some projects to be auto-blocked with too many reports because Scratch is supposed to be as safe as possible. If projects are blocked when reported multiple times, there is a good chance that the project might violate the community guidelines.
