How some of the projects got falsely taken down?

There are some projects that got falsely reported and falsely taken the projects down by someone. It can also lead to abuse the report system. And I find out that the projects are not even inappropriate on my account, it is probably the abuse of the report system. If that is something clean, then it is not allowed to abuse the report system, because it does not influence anything. I would probably wonder if there is an appeal tab and added a rated game like rated teens. It is probably a future update for the scratch website if that is acceptable. If not, then it might be some things worse that some users are getting blocked for being abusive to the report system.

How some of the projects got falsely taken down?

A human moderator reviews every report, and reports made in bad faith are punished. Projects are only taken down automatically if they receive a ton of reports, and even in such cases a human moderator reviews the project shortly. In such cases, the alert for the project takedown makes it clear that it was done automatically; if the alert does not say so the project was taken down by a human moderator for a legitimate reason. The vast majority of claims made about the mass report takedown system are false.
