As we all know, mass reporting is a big issue. I think the main cause is that the website automatically takes down projects that get reported a lot. Can you make it so whenever a project gets mass reported, it sends you a message so you can look at the project and make a conscious decision about whether to take it down?


Here's what the Scratch motto will be if mass reporting continues:

when green flag clicked 
Imagine :: pen
Program :: #ff00ff
Get mass reported and have your project taken down and get banned.
set [discouragement in % v] to [100]
quit :: extension

Please don't call this a duplicate because it's very original.

The Scratch Team usually review projects first.

Ok, first. Multiple IPs have to report a project. It then get takes down for moderator review. If it's fine, it'll get restored. The problem with this is that in appropriate project creators know they're doing something wrong, they won't put it down.

And users that MEAN to break the CGs will go free

They take it down temporarily to avoid offending anyone while they check it

But they'll get reported and the ST will look at them and take them down.

They get taken down first, in order to protect the community, then the Moderators will review them when they have time

no support. the st reviews projects before taking them down.

Oh. Now I get it. But what about getting banned because your project was taken down like that?

That doesn't happen.

They review the project before banning anyone

Yeah, it doesn't. It only matters if you're calling out a certian user.

Don't they already do this?

Thanks for your concern. No, it's not feasible to check each project before it is taken down. The automatic takedown feature is there to remove inappropriate material as quickly as possible so as not to expose other Scratchers. It works very well most of the time. It has a number of safeguards designed in to it - however, there are a small number of “false positive” cases. If you have thoughts about how those might be minimized, while not removing the functionality, please let us know in another suggestion.
