What is the difference between reporting using the report button and contact us?

Some time when i report using the report button, nothing NEVER happens, but when i use contact us it gets taken down, what is the difference? is it not the same moderation in contact us?

Contact Us is used for more serious situations; for example, mass reporting. That means, it has more priority than reporting regular.

Reports are used to report specific things (projects, studios, comments, forum posts, etc.) while Contact Us is used to discuss any matter with the Scratch Team. Contact Us should only be used for reports if the regular report button isn't sufficient (for example there is a larger pattern of behavior or there is some context that might not be obvious just from looking at the reported content). In general reports are preferred if they are usable (which is to say someone looking at the reported content will quickly be able to tell what's wrong with it without any further explanation), but even they can take some time to be handled.

^ This is correct.

I'm not really sure why you would need to use Contact Us for “mass reporting.”

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.
