Nope, it does not. We want to get all bad material off the site.

I agree! However, there were too many stickies in the Questions about Scratch forum to the point that consolidation was needed. Now, there's a stickied topic containing links to several helpful topics for questions about Scratch (in other words, “ITopics”). This thread is one of them.

This is useful!

Do you think I should create an ITopic about the censor?

If it contains important information about the censor that has not been covered in any of the existing ITopics, then yes, you could make one.

Could you be a bit more specific on what you mean by “it”? (For example, are you referring to a song, game, etc?)

If I'm interpreting this correctly, projects shared on Scratch fall under "Fair Use", which allows for users to use copyrighted material on Scratch for limited purposes (such as education). There are, of course, other factors that need to be taken into account, such as whether or not the content was merely being copied and if credit was given. Depending on the scenario it may or may not be reportable.

If this is about a Scratch Team action (such as an alert), then I would suggest bringing it up with them directly by using the Contact Us form. Here's a link to it: https://scratch.mit.edu/contact-us/

Do you report stuff that is silly like posting stuff like:

yum yum yum :D :D :D oh look green flag and stop buttons LOOK! \▸@greenFlag(::)::#4b4a61
Stop listen, S T O P L I S T E N.

That sounds like blockspamming to me. Yes - that should be reported.

when green flag clicked

Thanks for making this. The ST has been very busy because of how many people are using scratch during quarantine, so it is important they don't have to look at something that shouldn't have been reported. This should be stickied!

I'm sorry to hear that! I would suggest using the Contact Us form to report it - as there currently isn't a report button for that.

Though I also think it's important in the future to choose studio managers wisely - only pick those whom you trust, and no more managers than needed to run the studio.

This is a question, I am not sure if I need to report this profile. The persons username has a bad word but some of the letters are underscores, so you can't actually see the whole word. Should I report or not. (they also called me a Gatcha Kid or something like that and I don't know what that is)
