About project rates...

Kuzyn_Official

So yea, my project im working on (its on my signature) is not rated, cannot be searched at all, how do you even get a project rated? Not even featured just rated, cuz im tired of my project getting pitiful views

Plz plae my game, its a dungeon crawler game where you can destroy the blocks making up the dungeon https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/975307797/

when I receive [ You play the game]

add [wow thats really cool from u] to [bateman]

Its not about being rated, its about…
being indexed

only when your project gets indexed, will it be put on the search results, and the indexer is, well, struggling, considering it has to go through nearly 1 billion projects every day

the best thing to do is probably to wait

Scratchers that I've cati-fied

Like they said, there is no rating. You just have to wait for your projected to get indexed unless the Scratch Team has determined your project isn't appropriate for everyone to see. Once it is, it will show up in search results. You can always just give a link to your project.

The only sort of “rating” done on projects is internal ratings as either safe or not for everyone (NFE), with the latter preventing projects from displaying in search results

(though for the most part OP, I don't believe your game would be affected by this, but this is something to consider with future projects)

Then, is there a reason why my game is not been indexed for like a month now?

The indexer program and the servers running it are overwhelmed with the new projects coming in. They have to sift through more than a billion projects per day (which would mean that if everyone made one project, 1/8 of earth's population would have used Scratch. Obviously this isn't the case, as most people make and share many more than one project). It's just a slow process.

Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.

I think I heard somewhere that new projects just cannot get indexed at all, as the indexer starts from a fixed project ID and now restarts before it can index the latest projects.

There isn't much you can do, just wait. Or build your own indexer, and have it sift through the projects using the Scratch API, but most Scratchers aren't going to go that far.
