FNAF may get too scary for younger children. Scratch is not a place for scaring young kids. An example of scary is https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/1071952/ (No offense to this studio. Just the first example I found. There are plenty of others.)

Oh my god, a random word generator… So scary!
</sarcasm>

Anyway, this is already implemented, to some degree. Scary FNAF projects are banned (like projects containing jumpscares), while non-scary ones (like an FNAF dress-up) are okay. Projects that fall in the middle- projects that are somewhat scary, but not too scary- are marked as NFE. NFE stands for Not For Everyone. Projects marked as NFE do not appear on the front-page, except for under the Recently Shared section (and maybe the SDS?), and will appear less often in search. There is currently no indicator to show if a project is marked NFE.

Sorry, that was kind of funny, but thats the wrong link.

First of all, wrong link :?
A new Emoji has appeared!
Second of all, this is pretty much implemented to full extent- this issue died out 6 months ago.

Um… thats a random word generator.

Plus this has already been implemented, so no support.

This idea has already been implemented in Scratch because FNAF games were too scary for younger children. Also, this is a Duplicate.

Did you ever read this?

As everyone said above, there has been guidelines set for FNAF projects. If the project is too scary or contains something that is otherwise not age appropriate, it will be unshared. But since its possible to make a FNAF project and still follow the Community Guidelines, it isn't going to get banned out of hand.

Thanks for the link!

Please check out the topic in the link - it spells out our policy on FNAF. If you see stuff (FNAF or otherwise) that you think is not appropriate for Scratch, please report it.
