Scratcher remixing projects, yet not changing anything and claiming as their own.

Hi, so one day I see this person, called (removed by moderator – please don't gossip about other Scratchers) remix my open map, I thought they didn't know you had to actually comment that you wanted a part, so I went to their remix and informed them of that. But I looked at the project before doing that, and I saw that they had COMPLETELY changed nothing, and they even said that they were the one who hosted it. And I said in the comments that when you remix, you're supposed to change things not copy it completely. I looked at her past projects, and ALL of them were remixes that they didn't change. So I went to their profile and confronted them. I said that it might be against the community guidelines to do that, and soon after posting that, they deleted the comment. After that her friend, whose name will be unspoken of, (since i don't want people to public shame) starting defending (removed by moderator – please don't gossip about other Scratchers). I respond to their friend saying that it was against the community guidelines, and they just said i was being mean. (And also when (removed by moderator – please don't gossip about other Scratchers) deleted my comment on her page about it being the community guidelines, they commented “lol what are you gonna do about it”. So that's what led me to make this post.) Please someone help me! They can't just go along copying other's projects. They have deleted most of their projects, mostly to not start drama if anyone sees that they copy, and made a few legit projects themselves as not to seem suspicious. I have screenshots but I can't post them, so look at (removed by moderator – please don't gossip about other Scratchers) 's profile for proof.

Report the project. Also please do not name and shame.

Sorry, I should have kept their names to myself, but they have deleted most of their projects meaning there's not much proof to be shown to people.

Plus, I'm not shaming, I'm just trying to do what's right. This scratcher has been disobeying the guidelines, and it has to STOP

If they shared the project, it's possible to find links to the projects and run them in the GUI to have considerable proof.

I recommend you use Contact Us.

Naming and shaming is just mentioning a user who did something wrong and saying they did this and that and blah blah. You should edit your post removing the name of the user. If they are breaking the guidelines, please report them.

remember to wash your pineapple♥️

Please use the Report button on the project to let us know that one project is an exact copy of another.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021. I reached 20,000 forum posts on June 24th 2024.
