Support! It would allow people not see much Non-guideline projects and as it is silent, they wouldn’t be able to know that it exists. Except that when they try to do it. And then they see that someone reported it every time? Perfect!

Why do I endlessly bump these topics if they don't get any activity?

Don’t bump it anymore if it’s not getting activity

I highly support this! It's recommended that we need projects to be reviewed before sharing because a lot of troll feeders use projects and studios to their advantage, and it's annoying.
Scratch Team, this really needs to be implemented to Scratch in the future, please do this!

THIS SUGGESTION ISN'T TRYING TO PREVENT PROJECTS WITH BAD WORDS FROM BEING SHARED, IT'S TRYING TO NOTIFY THE SCRATCH TEAM ABOUT THESE PROJECTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IT ALSO DOES NOT CENSOR ANYTHING.
Troll projects that contain curse words and bad words are always annoying. They have to be manually reported, which means that some poor scratcher has to see them before it gets taken down. But what if we could fix that? What if, we could take down an inappropriate project the second it's shared?
My suggestion today is that when a project is shared, a filter goes through the project. However, if it detects something inappropriate, it won't censor it. Rather, it will send a report to the report queue. This way, bad projects get the scratch team's attention as soon as possible, and no one has to view the inappropriate things and projects that the filter is misdetecting don't experience any issues like they normally do when the filter makes a mistake.
also, trolls could in theory make multiple accounts and share many inappropriate projects. one way to solve this would be to have a system in place where if the project filter triggers twice in less than one minute, the user is blocked until the projects are reviewed by the scratch team. I seriously doubt that anyone who's accidentally triggering the filter will manage to do so twice in one minute.
Pros:
- gets the scratch team's attention to inappropriate projects as soon as possible
- bad projects can be taken down quickly, which gets fewer people(if not none at all) to view them.
- because the filter doesn't censor anything, people won't experience issues like they normally do when the filter makes a mistake
Cons:
- this will work because trolls often use the normal text inputs, and because they wouldn't know this exists, they probably wouldn't use anything else.
- since many projects are shared each day, the report queue might fill up. However, I doubt this will happen because the filter only sends a report if it detects something bad, meaning only projects with bad words and projects that were misdetected by the filter will go to the report queue. Also, the point of the report queue is to have a list of inappropriate projects so that they can be taken down. The more, the merrier.
- There are workarounds to this filter. Luckily this filter does everything it can to make its existence known to absolutely no one, thus motivating no one to use the workarounds.
I agree with this. However I have managed to accidentally trigger the filter twice in one minute because it thought there was a bad word when there wasn't.

Support!
Reasons:
1. I have seen trolls put a lot of bad stuff in a project!!
2. This will help the ST a lot.
3. Scratchers won't need to manually report projects and wait 1-5 hours for the ST to check it

Based on reply no. 1, the ST has already been working on this. Why is discussion necessary? What more could be said about this, except clarifying what valtrens’s specific model system is (which may not be exactly what the ST is building anyway)?
