Front Page Featuring

abubriski

The Scratch W1ki says “cheated to get onto the Front Page” is a thing. How would that even work?
Also, has anybody edited their project to be unsafe after it is featured? Because that seems like a really bad thing that could happen at any time.

I'm searching for a kid-friendly name for the genre of ‘bear mascot spooky’ games.

This is my signature. You may already know that when you click on this and press shift+down (that's the selecting downward keyboard shortcut), you can see more of it. (mobile users I'm trying to make sure that the most important stuff goes on top of this sig) Did you know this also happens with profile activity? XD

Where does it say this?

It's probably happened before, but I don't remember any cases of it happening. It does sound like a bad thing, but it would probably be taken care of quickly: the project would be unfeatured and unshared promptly. Usually most Scratchers want to get featured so much that, if they ever do get featured, they wouldn't be willing to take that chance away.

On the Ban page.

I would assume thats talking about the reshare glitch? I'm unshare wether or not thats possible with the top loved and top remixed section, but it might be.

It could also be refering to getting featured but not following the procedure correctly (for example, suggesting your own project to be featured)

Scratchers that I've cati-fied

This one? Let's see… Ah, indeed you are right:

Scratch Wiki wrote:
Bans on the Scratch Website usually occurred when one shared inappropriate projects, harassed others, cheated to get onto the Front Page, or was predominantly disrespectful.

One way to “cheat your way to the front page” is to make lots of alternate accounts that all love your project, in an attempt to get on the “What the Community is Loving” row on the front page. Whether successful in getting to the front page or not through this method, that is not allowed.
