Issues with reports not working, and how to fix them

Levimus2468

Been trying to report a guy who keeps remixing my projects and not changing anything, but whenever I send the link to the original project it doesn't send =/

This is a serious issue. I'm so glad you made this post, you deserved the sticky.
I have one thing to add: If a report repeatedly does not work, use the “Contact us” link at the bottom of the page.

Still happening. I've found that I consistently get 2 successful reports per account before it stops working.
I wonder what's causing this.

It's basically saying to get the project URL, the input for the report text, and add it to the report queue.

I think it's added to the queue in

handleReportSubmit https://scratch.mit.edu/js/projects.bundle.js:2

The error I can't seem to locate…

That being said, the common error seems to be

Uncaught InvalidStateError: Failed to read the 'responseText' property from 'XMLHttpRequest': The value is only accessible if the object's 'responseType' is '' or 'text' (was 'json').

It means that it cannot get the value of “responseText” (from the actual HTTP on the webpage), witch I think, based on the name, is the report text/reason.

I tried to report 2 projects. It didn't work on my first account, but it worked on an alternative account/s.

So if it's the report text/reason, then is the report likely still technically sent, just without that reasoning? The Scratch Team should at the very least make an announcement about this, and maybe temporarily take the website down to fix this problem.

I am unsure, but that is what it looks like.

It still is occuring with me. After I send two reports, none of the other ones I send don't actually load. Contact Us was a great alternative

Try using the Contact Us at the bottom

They don't always respond to the messages

This hasn't been an issue for a while. i'll reopen this if this issue starts happening again.
