Thank you!

As I said previously on my main account, this topic is still technically unsolved and I'll keep this open for a while longer so that I can get more answers, preferably from someone in the ST.

Yes I'm curious as to what the Scratch Team will say.

6. It happened to me and no you do not get an alert.
8. No you don't

For the rest I do not know. I would like if a Scratch Team member could comment so we could get an official answer.

Answers below in bold.

mutes and bans an' mutes and bans- sorry i had to
Anyway - I do have a few questions about mutes and bans, since I've never been muted or banned I don't know everything about them or any experience (but I have a friend who's been muted a bunch of times before for some reason and a few of my old accounts were once banned)
This also does have a few questions about alerts (and a little about the filter) as well.
-
1: Are sharing bans pretty much the same as mutes? I mean, to my knowledge sharing bans still let you log on but don't allow you to share comments/projects/etc., and mutes don't let you comment, so.. No. Sharing ban is put in by a moderator and lasts indefinitely until an appeal is made, mutes are temporary and automated if you trip the word filter.

2: To my knowledge, mutes last 24 hours. Has there ever been a case (or is it possible) for someone to be muted for longer than that, or even permanently? No Has a sharing ban ever been permanent? It's only permanent if you don't appeal.

3: What is the shortest time you can be banned? A few days

4: Does a user ever get banned without warning? I mean, no alerts, no mutes, nothing like that.. Yes, if the action was severe.

5: Is it possible to get banned for being reported unfairly? For example, let's say a user is reported a lot of times by different people but didn't even do anything wrong and gets banned for getting reported.. It's possible for someone to become temporarily banned for being reported a lot, but that type of temporarily ban is automated and last for a few hours (it's a precaution put in place to stop cases of trolling, which is pretty effective). But moderators do check reports, and if moderators find that people are abusing the report system unfairly, the reporters can get banned, and that ban is more severe than the temp ban they intentionally caused.

6: When a post says "(removed by moderator)", does the person who put the content that was later removed by the moderator always get an alert for that? Sometimes, sometimes not, depending on the situation. If not, then usually the mod will put an edit in the post indicating why it got removed.

7: Mutes do still let you edit your profile description, share projects, make studios, etc., right? I mean, anything but comment. When my friend was muted, she had to edit her profile description to explain that she was muted and couldn't comment, but that was over a year ago so things may have changed.. (Unrelated, but she was literally getting muted for comments like “Thanks for the follow!”) Yes.

8: Is it possible to get an alert or anything like that which caused the bad word detector to stop you? (I mean, if you know what I mean..) Assuming it's not a false positive, then yes. The bad word detector is also able to alert moderators if a user is attempting to evade the filter to post bad stuff, so don't do it.

Oh, thank you for answering, Cheddergirl!
