Are projects that are appropriate for scratch going to get banned for using an inappropriate source?

Basketbomb

So, something I was wondering is, if I made a project that was completely appropriate for scratch, but some of it's assets were from Family Guy, would I be getting my project banned for that?
Like really I don't know a lot about this topic and I've wondered it about a lot of kid related stuff

I don't think so unless you use inappropriate assets of them.

Ok thanks it's because a lot of different stuff have mixed opinions on this and I'm just kinda wondering

When I saw [that message v] ::hat :: events When I saw [that message v]
tell them it's because I'm making a [game v] called [FNAF BUT MEMES] ::sensing
and that {I'm wondering [if it will get banned  or not] :: looks} :: events

Yes, I think you can share Family Guy projects as long as they're appropriate.

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:
3.3 Ban certain franchises
Generally, the Scratch Team does not censor projects based on a certain franchise unless a large number of inappropriate projects were made with the franchise. An example is Five Nights at Freddy's; see this announcement for more information. In general, it is usually possible to make appropriate projects based on a certain franchise. Of course, you should always report inappropriate projects of any kind.

there are some franchises that are straight up banned, like squid game.

I believe certain franchises aren't allowed (such as ones which include content that isn't safe from waluigi), however, most are ok (south park and family guy I believe was fine)

So even if I had a picture of a player or a guard without it's gun, it would still be banned?

Yes, but only for these specific franchises. Similar to how any FNAF project, even if not scary, would be NFEd

That contradicts 3.3 of TOLORS.

No, they're correct. It's not allowed to mention that specific franchise.

I don't understand. That rejected suggestion suggests to ban certain franchises.

if something becomes enough of a problem, scratch team will make the decision to ban it. if a user needs to suggest it, it probably isn't bad enough.

The rejected suggestion applies to any franchise. :/
Oh, I misread 3.3. Sorry, guys.

What if I removed every jumpscare and replaced it with the character walking up to you?

usefun2

I don't think so.

hotcholcolate

I don’t think you would get banned but there are kids on scratch so it might get reported a few times

Horsekatto

No they aren't but you probably shouldn't encourage people to watch those types of shows. Basically you can do that but don't encourage people to watch the show cause this is a kids website.
