I think that Scratch Team should check reports,because being reported for saying “No-support” or “I don't like this game” is too,too much. I don't know if Scratch Team checks reports,but if they don't,this isn't right. I know someone that got reported for saying “no support” and i got reported for saying “I don't like it”.

Huh, who could have got an alert for saying no support… wasn't me… Anyway, the ST do check reports but I guess that just stating your opinion isn't alert-worthy (IMO). For example, by that logic if somebody said on the Pokémon topic that they don't like my favorite Pokémon, should I report them? I don't really think so

I hate FNAF, Do i must expect to be reported? In such case, do i will receive an alert from moderators?
Oher different would be going to see a project and comment “you made a bad project” or similar. Why to do such thing?

They already check reports. To quote Harakou, the report button is not an automatic alert/ban-hammer.

Exactly - there's no “Oh, you don't support this suggestion. BAN.”, unless you're being a troll about it.
The Scratch Team already checks all reports they get and they know when to take no action on reports since they're used to it. Just don't report things for no reason, okay? Abusing the report button can lead to alerts and bans.

If they gave you an alert for it, it's probably because you said “no support” or “i don't like it” and nothing else. This is considered rude (in project comments) and adds nothing to the discussion (in the forums).

Remember, the CGs say to “Be constructive” and just saying “I don't like this” is not very constructive.

And, like cul8er said, when you report something, the ST checks it; they don't instantly give alerts / bans.

That's a great way to put this.

And what if i have nothing else to say than “i don't like it”? If i don't like the idea,i can't write a comment long 3 rows.

Just explain why you don't like it and/or what they could change to make it better. (e.g. “I don't like it because the animation is a little choppy, maybe you could do some more animation?”)

Like LionHeart70 said, you can just add to it. You can use this formula:

“This project is cool! However, there are some things on this project you can improve on…(etc.)”
“Nice project, but here's some tips to make it great: (etc.)”
“Very interesting concept, but it seems (etc.)”

If it's a suggestion just don't say anything; to the ST knowing how beneficial/harmful a suggestion is is more important than how popular it is among Scratchers that have been here for a while

What if it isn't cool or nice or interesting? I prefer for people to give me honest feedback IMO but I suppose not everyone enjoys criticism.

The Scratch Team does check every report. And if a user does end up misusing the report button, then they will get an alert for it (or a ban if they have been doing it continuously).

To quote Harakou:

Seriously - we review every report. I feel like Scratchers sometimes get this idea that the “Report” button leads to an automated banhammer that doles out punishment to anyone unfortunate enough to be hit with a stray click. That's not how it works.

EDIT: “I don't like it” actually seems reportable. Its not constructive and there's definitely better ways to critiquing something that one doesn't like.

This is already in place. Reports are reviewed by real people before any action is taken. False reporting is not acted on by the moderator - unless it's to send a warning to the person misusing the report button.
