Recently, I saw someone break the community guidelines in a very unique way

He used the “Studios I'm following” section to display an inappropriate message.

But the studios themselves were by different owners and none of the owners have used it to break the community guidelines, so reporting the studios is not an option.

So, I think you should be able to report a profile for using the Studios I'm Following to display inappropriate messages.

Eg: If Cats were a bad word, some troll could follow C, then A, then T, then S, thus forming “Cats” on his “Studios I'm Following” section, No one can stop the troll because an option to report the troll for such things doesn't exist, and the studio host is different for each studio letter.

This is what it'll look like when you try reporting a scratcher for this option. This is by @SonicFanX123_321

1. Too ambiguous
I'm sorry if that didn't make much sense, if someone could suggest a much simpler name for an option, pls do recommend one!

Support, there is enough space for the f word, and this is a kids website.

Exactly!

I would suggest “following Inappropriate studios/scratchers” as a much less ambiguous option.

support. I think if a user is following studios to display a inappropiate messagae or inappropiate studios in general, it should be reported.

This is meant to say that this user is using the “Studios I'm following” section to display an inappropriate message.

Exactly! But not all inappropriate studios, only if he uses it to display inappropriate messages and the owners have not used it to break community guidelines, else just report the studio itself.

You should use contact us for a situation like this

yeah that sounds a bit better. since I've seen a user who followed the following people:
“there” “are” “only” “two” “genders”
to display “there are only two genders” in their following tab.
this message is rather transphobic, and having an option to report that would be helpful

It might be a bit slow and a report seems to be quicker, also, quite a few people have seen someone abuse the filter like this.

Done!

I like the idea but if a user is spelling something bad, there's no option to report that user so it's best to report the studios

If you reported a studio literally just named “h”, then I'm pretty sure absolutely nothing will happen.

Support, this would make reporting easier in multiple situations and is a good alternative for using contact us.

Pls read the full post to understand what I mean. :

The studios themselves were by different owners and none of the owners have intended for the studio to be used to break the community guidelines, so reporting the studios is not an option.

Good ol'…. Bump!

What if someone followed a studio or another Scratcher that did nothing wrong, then all of a sudden something bad happens with that studio/person, and the follower gets reported without knowing what happened?

I don't think anything happens to those users. The user who followed them gets the punishment, not them.
