If you would like your project to be inspected, please contact the Scratch Team-
https://scratch.mit.edu/contact-us/

From your prospective, it looks fine. Keep in mind that not all FNAF projects will be banned. Only the ones that are inappropriate.

Over the past year, the Scratch moderation team has been thinking (and rethinking) our stance on Scratch projects that feature the popular video game Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF).

When these projects started appearing in the community, we heard from a number of Scratchers who questioned the appropriateness of these projects on an all-ages website. We’ve continued to hear from Scratchers, teachers, and parents who have expressed concern about these projects.

Which aspects of the games can be considered inappropriate according to the Scratch Community Guidelines? 1) Graphic content: Many projects contain disturbing imagery that can be seen as too intense for Scratch. 2) Backstory: The plot of Five Nights at Freddy's is rooted in murder and kidnapping. 3) Jumpscares: Frightening images abruptly flash on the screen.

What’s the impact of this content on Scratch? Multiple school districts have blocked access to Scratch. Several parents have reported their children having nightmares. A number of community members feel uncomfortable browsing Scratch because of this type of content.

In the coming weeks, the Scratch moderation team will begin to unshare some “Five Nights at Freddy's” content from the website. We will start to unshare emulations of the game (i.e. Scratch projects designed to be replicas of the game), since emulations of the original game contain much of the game’s original scary content and background story.

Content moderation is difficult. We want to ensure that you are all able to express yourselves while also balancing the needs of the community. We understand that unsharing and restricting content is no fun — but we hope you understand why we have decided to take this step to help make sure the Scratch community remains a friendly site for people of all ages.

Thanks,
Scratch Team

FAQ:
Why not implement an age appropriateness rating system on Scratch?
Everything shared in our community should be appropriate for all ages. Any type of age restriction placed on a project by the Scratch Team, community members, or project authors isn’t aligned with this philosophy.

Can I put a disclaimer on my Scratch project to warn people it's not for all ages?
Everything shared in our community should be appropriate for all ages. Any type of age restriction placed on a project by the Scratch Team, community members, or project authors isn’t aligned with this philosophy.

Will all Five Nights at Freddy’s content be unshared?
Nope. We’ll only unshare projects that violate our Community Guidelines. For instance: An emulation of the game containing all of the elements described above are not okay. On the other hand, a Freddy Fazbear dress up game? That’s probably okay.

Will this lead to my account being blocked?
Nah. No worries if you created a Five Nights at Freddy’s project in the past. However, we ask that you do not reshare the project if it violates the Community Guidelines.

Will I be able to reshare my project?
If you remove the parts that make the project inappropriate — the jump scares, the scary backstory, the frightening images, or any other content that isn’t appropriate. If you are unsure if your project is reshareable, you can email Contact Us and we will reevaluate your project.

Is my project “deleted”?
Nope. We did not “delete” any of the projects. If it violated the Community Guidelines it was unshared. You can now find it in your Unshared folder.

say [fnaf was awesome :(]

That's really unfair. I say that you should do only age restrictions at look at the scratchers profile and calculate their age. i'd say maybe 12 and over would be a good idea. I'm still not cool with what you done.

I think we should be able to either WARN them if it might scare them, or we should be able to RECCOMEND a certain age! I also think we should be able to have CATEGORIES or SAFESEARCHES for it. another thing is that we should be able and allowed to RATE the projects 1-5, AND we should be able to let the people that view it decide what CATEGORY it would go in!!! plzzz add these things, or at least THINK about it.

Age restrictions are rejected, because people can lie about their age, or still see the project. We understand why you would be upset, because everyone knows that unsharing is no fun. However, the Scratch Team must keep the website friendly for all ages.

Q: how about age restrictions?
That is rejected
Q: Why is my project deleted?
It isn't. just unshared.
Q: Spam
*Reports*

I wasnt too glad to see my project deleted. I mean, i spent ages on that and also it was the only reason i went on scratch. Please re-evaluate this and see if it isnt too scary. If it is, I understand and am deleting my account.

it should be stopped if inaproppet cuz i looked on age and it said 15+ and most of us are under 15 so i

    A lot of scratchers who like FNAF make scary FNAF parodies, which they say "It's not FNAF 1" or they make FNAF 2 or 3 or 4 and say "Still it's not FNAF1 we can have it" so Scratch should ban horror games period (unless it doesn't have what SpeakVisually stated that makes it reportable)
