if a project has 5 reports does it get looked at faster if it has one report, do more reports mean more priority

im pretty sure 5 reports is an auto takedown, which is how false reporting happens
or the 5 reports are sent to 5 different st members

I don't believe more reports lead to priority, it should still follow the queue, it'll atmost trigger the mass reporting mechanism

Source? Cause iirc, I’m pretty sure all reports are manually seen

It is well documented that a certain number of reports will cause a project to be temporarily removed and the creator temporarily banned (I have seen screenshots indicating the ban is for 90 minutes). I don't think the exact number is known, and it's possible that there are various factors affecting it so it may not be the same for every project. However, importantly, the takedown will be undone after the Scratch Team reviews the project if they find nothing wrong with it. Most people who say their project was taken down to to false reporting/mass reporting are either confused about the reason it was taken down or outright lying for sympathy.

See this essay for more information.

thank you so much for the source! i wasn’t aware of this system until now, lol.

Back to OP: so we’ve established that 5 reportsa certain number of reports = auto-takedown but if your curious as to if more but less then 5 reportsa certain number of reports mean more priority, I can’t give a certain answer as I am not a part of ST and am not aware of moderation specifics, but I THINK that more reports don’t move the project in the report queue. I’m pretty sure it stays first come first serve no matter the amount of reports. However you may wanna check with contact us to be sure, or maybe wait if paddle2see (or another st member who’s active on forums) has an answer.

No public source states that it's 5 reports specifically. It could be more or less.

I missed that in jvvg’s reply, oops-
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll edit my post to prevent misinformation spreading

I reported an anti-lgbtq+ project, I was the only one who reported it. But 3 people reported a different project. I reported the anti-lgbtq first it isn't down. but the different project is down

How are you certain that you were the only one who reported the anti-lgbtq project and that precisely 3 people reported the different project?

the antilgbtq project had 1 view and the other one had more than 2 reports (2 people claimed to report it)

how???
it'd have to have 2 views for you to have gotten to the project, played it, and reported it…
also people could've seen that its bad through the thumbnail and reported it without playing the project
