Make it so that a user can report the same project only one time

Mass reporting is a big, BIG problem. My suggestion solves this problem by only allowing users to report the same project only one time. So like when you report a project, the report button turns grey in the project page relative to the reported project.

what if the scratch team took a project down because it was inappropriate but it was then fixed by the user and reshared, but then changed back to something report worthy. you then can't report it. also, mass reporting isn't a big problem I can't find the link to jvvg's essay right now so if someone else can please give it

Mass reporting is not a big problem.
I do not agree with this suggestion because of what jmb1293634 said
Also, here’s a link to the essay about mass reporting

What if you have to report it for multiple reasons? Selecting ‘Other’ isn't the best solution

Mass-reporting is not a big deal. If it deserves to get taken down, it will get taken down. We need to remember that ST are real humans, not AI.

Q: What are false reporting and mass reporting?
A: Mass reporting is a real thing, as the ST's moderation system automatically takes down projects if there is a lot of reports in a short time to prevent anything bad from being spread. If the mass reports are false, however, the users doing the mass reporting will be moderated in some way, and the project will be brought back to Scratch.

Many users lie about being falsely reported. More information can be found here.

The current system actually takes this into account. If someone sends a second report for the same project, the Scratch Team will still receive this report, but the second report will not count towards the criteria needed for a project to be automatically removed. So one person already cannot “mass report” a project by themselves.
