Censoring a project should censor all remixes

If a user uploads an inappropriate project and then a bunch of his/her friends remix it so it's all over the site, then it would be difficult to censor each project and they would be on the site for a while.
As a solution, censoring a project should censor all subsequent remixes to prevent this, as all the remixes most likely will contain the inappropriate content.

Censoring a project should censor all remixes

Maybe it should simply “unshare” all remixes and send a message to the remixer letting them know why it happened with a reminder that this is a family-friendly site and a warning to not share inappropriate material.

This would prevent a remix from being deleted automatically if it really didn't include inappropriate content.

However, I'm thinking that if someone remixed an inappropriate project, they should know to flag it and not remix it or anything.

Maybe they remixed it and removed all the offending bits?

It's also very old, and while old suggestions can still be relevant, this doesn't add much at all to the idea and we do in fact have ways of censoring chains of remixes when needed.
