Reported Project is Still Up. (Screenshots Provided)

Hello! I know that not everyone who sees this is a part of ST (Scratch Team) but just like I said in the subject title, a project I reported is still up. It has been fifteen days since this project has been shared and reported. The user (who I will not add their username to prevent harassment) also shared a project on the same day showing more details on the reported project. Thankfully, when the project was reported, it was instantly taken down by the moderators. However, the project that was uploaded before it and was reported is still up. Despite it being less inappropriate to the project that was taken down, it still violates the Scratch Community Guidelines. I uploaded an image down below and censored what was inappropriate. The, “OC (Original Creation,)” explains what the project was about and the second screenshot contains what the project greets you with. Although it does give a warning, this warning was not even formal at the slightest and uses inappropriate terms.

My main question is, do I have to wait for thirty days before contacting the Scratch Team about this issue? I am unable to report for a second time but if necessary, may I have to share what previous actions the user has committed on Scratch in their previous account? Thanks for looking into this!

No, you do not need to wait an arbitrary amount of time before reporting such content via contact us, but I should note that it is not advised to keep tabs on reported content, and that you shouldn't talk about it on the forums.

Ah alright. I thought I had to wait for a moment of time to report such content because someone said to use the, “Contact Us,” resource if a project that violates Scratch's guidelines has been up for a month. Thanks for the clarification!

I agree with the above - you can use Contact Us for this at any time, if you feel that the regular reporting methods are not sufficient.
