Source? Cause iirc, I’m pretty sure all reports are manually seen

It is well documented that a certain number of reports will cause a project to be temporarily removed and the creator temporarily banned (I have seen screenshots indicating the ban is for 90 minutes). I don't think the exact number is known, and it's possible that there are various factors affecting it so it may not be the same for every project. However, importantly, the takedown will be undone after the Scratch Team reviews the project if they find nothing wrong with it. Most people who say their project was taken down to to false reporting/mass reporting are either confused about the reason it was taken down or outright lying for sympathy.
