This works a bit like IP banning.

Also, the ST can see all IP's

Still, the discussion about fingerprinting…

really hope scratch keeps that b+

It's up to the ST to decide what and what not to do.

We all hate it when we get mass reported. Well, here is a solution: IP Checking! When reporting, it checks if that person has already reported the project with that IP address more than 2 times within 24 hours (that report won't count). If so, that person gets an alert saying “please don't mass report”. I think this will save the ST time from meaningless reports. As usual, please leave constructive feedback
New Addition: You can only send 2 reports on the project for that IP every 24 hours.

I also have had this idea before

Support.

Maybe have this only for 1 project. I have reported 3 different projects in 1 day before (on old accs of course) and they all contained things not appropriate for scratch. Imagine if you report a project because it is inappropriate, then an hour later you found another project that was inappropriate, but because of this rule, you couldn't report it. Just something to think about

No, only for that project

Well, it's mostly so you can't use alts for stuff. So you could say that you may have unlimited reports, but only 2 different accounts on one IP. But, I'm not sure what the servers would think about that idea.

It takes about 4 reports for the project poster to get temp banned. I don't think the mass reporter wants to buy 4 different computers.

If you have a dynamic IP Address, you can easily change your IP address by leaving the router OFF for 5-10 minutes
So, leaving 4 reports would take 20-40 minutes.

How many times do I have to say this? It works like IP banning

How does that work?

Most of the people who mass report are (no offense) jealous little kids. Only someone intelligent enough to get around an IP ban can get around this.

I just thought about this, A user could use a VPN to bypass this

A user can use a VPN to bypass an IP ban. If they get caught, I think the ST can ban them.
