A solution to Spamming
Sometimes, when I read the comments of a scratcher's projects, I see that some of them are mere links to the commenter's project(s), which is spamming.
So, I have a solution to that. What if we could have a system like the censor system which would automatically notify the Scratch Team of the link, so they could view it and possibly delete the spam link? That way, spamming would be reported, just after the spammer posts the spam link!

Well, the Scratch Team would view it, but not delete it. Well, it's not always spamming. What if I'm working on a collab and post a link to part of it on a member's project?

Well let's say there's 100,000 comments per day made and it takes, say 1 minute to read the comment and click the link then check the link. That's 100,000 minutes per day which for an 8 hour working day means you'd need a team of over 200 people to police. I assume you'd like the offline version of Scratch released in your lifetime?

it's not difficult to click “report”.
it is difficult to make auto-censoring because, i'd imagine, it would often flag stuff falsely. there are often times when posting a project URL can be legitimate, but none of these fit into any sort of algorithm.

I do not support. As people said, it would be hard to manage such a system. Just use the report button, or, if it is on your own project, delete the comment.

At first, I thought that this suggestion would be a wonderful way to prevent spamming. But it looks like that everyone does not like this suggestion. So, this suggestion is not a useful one.
TOPIC CLOSED, PERIOD.
