Five Nights at Freddy's projects.

I think that scratch should stop banning fnaf projects. They let a bunch of scarier projects on scratch but they won't let fnaf be a project? it just doesn't make sense! People should be allowed to post stuff about fandoms they like as long as its not inappropriate for children. Please stop banning these projects, scratch. Or you could at least tell us why you are banning these projects. But if you are banning these projects for no good reason, please stop! Peoples accounts are getting banned just because they post a fnaf project!

FNaF could be scary to younger audiences, which scratch is marketed to.
Anyway, this suggestion has been rejected many times, and probably won't be reversed

i agree with you, that is very scary for scratch

xxLightningPotatoxx

What if people put a scary warning on it? just like how people put blood warning and trigger warning on their projects, they could put a scary warning. and a lot of projects are not scary, the fandom really likes just making fun projects about this fandom that is not scary.

it would still be not allowed in scratch

xxLightningPotatoxx

But I have seen way scarier things on scratch. and what if the project is not scary at all? Like cute Fan Art or something would that be allowed?

This has also been rejected multiple times, as people could just not see it or ignore it

possibly not, FNaF is scary and i did not see anything about it… maybe.

I have also seen a lot of games on scratch thats based on fnaf and those are not getting banned.

xxLightningPotatoxx

Also, other horror games are not getting banned, why is it just fnaf?

Scratch is marketed towards very young children. This rule should be enforced more for scary jumpscare projects, and just not for FNAF.

This has been brought up many times before, but they will never let these slide.

I support anyway. It's unfair!

agreed with you, since they could be horror.

Report these projects to ST.

I recommend that you look at this announcement. FNAF games don't violate the community guidelines, but that doesn't mean that they are still considered scary. The Scratch Team censors those projects as NFE, meaning that they could not show up on the front page, trending, and search results.

supported! they are actually a NFE

xxLightningPotatoxx

A lot of scratch projects are NFE, because not everyone likes the same thing. Most people look at projects about what they like. So most people seeing the FNAF projects already like Fnaf and know how scary it is. I was also thinking, since FNAF is a game for kids 12+, maybe scratch could only ban these projects for kids who are 11 and younger.

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:
7.2 A 13+ version of the Scratch website or age-restricted content
Scratch is designed for ages 8 to 16, but any content shared on the website must be appropriate for all ages. Dividing the community by making a separate, age-restricted website would not be helpful. Potential restrictions from entering the website (such as a warning, or requiring a parent to answer math equations) would not necessarily stop an underage child from entering the 13+ website.

This suggestion extends to age-restricting anything on Scratch, such as viewing specific projects. As a general rule, content shared on the Scratch website should be appropriate for all ages.

What if these projects reached the front page?
Even if scratch didn't feature them, they could fall into “What the community is ❤️”
Also, adding a mature option to scratch has been declined since it can be easily bypassed
