When I go to profile pages a lot, and I go down to see the comments, most of the time I will see some spamming. They will get mad if I report them, and I do not like being the cause of people being mad. What should I do? Please help! This is what I sometimes see:

Now, I have a game for you. It's been played since 1977. Once you read this, you have to send it to 15 people. Your next 5 days will be like this: Day 1 - you will wake up to the biggest shock of your life. Day 2 - you will cross paths with an old friend you have missed. Day 3 - you will find yourself with a lot of money. Day 4 - your day will be perfect. Day 5 - the love of your life will kiss you… if you don't forward this, your next 5 days will be the exact opposite!!!!

Being a childrens' website, Scratch is full of kids who are new to the web and don't even know what spam is. They just post whatever they want!

Whenever you run into one of those comments, just click report next to them. That removes the comment and notifies the Scratch Team.

Don't worry. When you report something, your identity is kept confidential. They don't learn who reported their comment, so they won't get angry directly at you.

Ok! Thank you!

Just FYI
Those types of spam are called “chain-letters”. They are messages which tell you to copy and paste the message or something bad will happen. They shall be always reported because they're also threatening. I seen that chain letter recently on ipzy's profile comments.
