So, I've found 2 projects from a user, and they were the most recent ones… They had literal uncensored swear words in them. So, I went ahead and reported both of them. I just want to know how long it will take for scratch to review it…

I’d say a few hours.

Maybe… I have the project links saved in a notepad file, I'll check on them in a few hours.

I'd wait 24 hours before being concerned. If 24 hours pass and no action was taken, try reporting them again.

It takes a varying amount of time. I've seen someone making incredibly explicit projects, and after reporting them several times I think those reports never got a response.

It usually takes a few hours, however I assume some categories get a higher priority–I once got a user designed specifically to display an inappropriate PFP down in less than 45 minutes after creation of the account

Somebody created an account with an inappropriate profile picture, and they reported that account and got it taken down in 45 minutes.

The projects haven't been taken down yet.
I should probably put the links to the projects, So that a scratch team member can bye bye the projects.
Anyways, Bring Up My Post

Put the links in a post, then report the post. Most likely Paddle or cheddar or a different ST’ll see it.

will reporting my own post get me a alert

No.

can the scratch team members see reported/deleted posts?
and will i get alerted for saying in the report that “Oh, i want to delete this post in this topic!”?

Yes.

Not necessarily, but you'd need a good reason for the post to be deleted. If it's spam, they can delete it. But if you report several posts to be deleted just want your topic to look “nicer,” they might not be willing to delete it.

Do NOT click on the following links unless you are a scratch team member.

Sorry, I should have read the rest of the thread. You should not do what @Create-Scratch101 suggested; do not share inappropriate projects in a forum post and then report the post. Just report the projects directly. Putting the inappropriate projects in a forum post just makes it more likely that Scratchers will see the inappropriate content.

considering the way reports work on projects (you have to explain why you are reporting it), and that reports are all done by human moderation, scratch team members who moderate projects would have to read and inspect quite literally most if not all of their received reports. so as you would expect you’d probably have to wait a few hours for an effective removal.

fyi: if this topic is closed, it's probably not by me

It depends on the content.

I once reported a project that discussed somebody's issues with their romantic relationship, and that got taken down within 5 minutes

It honestly depends, ST is getting a lot of reports at once, so they'll prob get to it, even if it takes a while
