Rude people on scratch

HI! I recently started a studio on christian faith and i've been getting alot of negative input. I would like to suggest that we make more projects that will help inform people that this is not a good behavior. When I tried to tell someone that it was not nice to say those things a while back I just got more negative input. Any ideas on how to handle erratic behavior? I realize they might just be having a bad day or something but they need to learn that they can't take their anger out on other people, especially strangers. There is also alot of bad words going around, this is a kid friendly site and I think we should be working hard to keep it one! thx for listening!-Gwen

the suggestions board is for suggestions about the scratch website as a whole, not questions or suggestions for projects- i'd suggest possibly making a studio about it instead.

edit: to answer your other question, however, there is a button at the bottom of the main discussion forums page to edit your forum signature

That's called a signature, and is at the bottom of every post you make. You can scroll down on this page until you find the text “Change your signature” and click there to change your signature
If there are some things that are definitely mean or rude then the best option is to report those comments and the scratch team will hopefully handle the situation. The thing with bad words going around is bad, of course, as Scratch is for kids.
Unfortunately on every website there will be trolls or people who are trying to make you feel sad or upset. The filter can't manage everything so the best option is to report the bad things you see on Scratch to the moderators.
If something gets too out of hand, though, and reporting doesn't help (let's say a whole flame war occurred in multiple places) one place to message the Scratch Team is https://scratch.mit.edu/contact-us/ but this will take longer than a report takes so only use this in bad situations.

There are people in the LBGTQ+ community who raid Christian Scratch studios, so this is normal, if you see anyone doing that report them.

Please use the Report button to let the Scratch Team know what is going on. You can also use the Contact Us link for more complicated situations.
