We take appropriate action if someone is abusing the report system, but it isn't visible to the rest of the community (just like any notifications or temporary blocks you may receive). It's also important to remember that just because something you shared was reported, that doesn't mean it was a “false” report.

For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1KsToGsSI0

If you're not saying that to another Scratch user I don't see why not.


Honestly it's probably minor enough to say anywhere on the website, for sure in a game.

Correct, you do not have any privacy on a website that you do not own.

but other websites like (Removed, although this wasnt an ad, dont want ANOTHER mute) dont know that.

Well that's a different website.

so?

Scratch doesn't have to be a carbon copy of every other website.

i didnt say that

Your argument is that since other websites have this feature, so should Scratch. That's not a good argument because Scratch doesn't have to do what other websites do.

people have a right to privacy, if you have a bad project accidentally break a rule, you also dont want people to see that, right?

They do have that right. On scratch….. (Except for assets (kinda))

Hi guys! Hru? I am good, but anyways, I'm participating in a competition and need some good game ideas, I'm facing competition against Platformers and Clickers but I wanna be unique. Can someone please help me come up with a game idea I need to finish in 2-3 weeks? A few game mechanics and a progressing system will be nice (Although I can add these finishing touches later) and If you want, Your name will be in the Project Itself!.

April Fool's on here is also not a requirement. It's honestly surprising that it could live for so long, in spite of all the moderation issues it caused.

I'm not really a fan of this sound (except in this video), but it's allowed.

Hence why I said “the official answer” in my earlier post. Of course nothing is illegal unless you get caught.

Talking about talking to banned Scratchers is fine (e.g. "I can still talk to [banned Scratcher] on another platform“). It's specifically when Scratchers are doing things like sending messages on behalf of this banned Scratcher (e.g. ”[Banned Scratcher] told me to tell you …") that is crossing the line — particularly when done repeatedly.

hmm maybe add a * in the words (although it might by pass the sensor)

This would be a button next to the option to turn off commenting saying:
“Links On” , if you use it it would turn links on until you turn them on again.
If you try to post a link in the comments when links are off, it will say:

Sorry, the creator has turned links off for this project.

This is to limit advertising in projects.

So in my project some of you know about the “hey stinky” sound from mario party. I was wonder if I could use this sound in a project. Is this allowed?

If you mean an autoclicker in a clicker game, normal clicks and autoclicks can be programmed like this:

when green flag clicked
set [points] to [0]
set [click power] to [1]
set [autoclick power] to [0]
forever
change [points] by (autoclick power)
wait (1) secs
end

when this sprite clicked
change [points] by (click power)

you can then add other sprites that can upgrade the click power and autoclick power.
I hope this helps

I think he/she/they meant an auto clicker-free script. I'm not really sure if it's possible - since people could go inside of Scratch clicker projects and create:

forever
change [points] by (99999999999999)
end

Images/banners are a form of messages. The idea is that you would be using the website on behalf of a banned user, which I believe is not allowed.

Alright, thanks for the answer. I guess Luna can just make banners for people outside of scratch, like people on the image site which shall not be named.

I have this on my reupload of a project by a fake user “Exploding pizza”…

Most elements of horror games are not allowable on Scratch. You can still make a horror game- but no jumpscares and all that “horror.”

You don't have to tell anyone that she made it though.

If you create a studio and call it like “Luna's Images” or something, then that's not allowed.

But if you create your own shop/studio and have her create banners for your studio, that's fine, as long as you don't say that they were made by a banned Scratcher.

So I have a friend, Luna, and she used to make banners for people on scratch. If you don’t know what a banner is, it’s like a image that says “welcome to my profile” and people put it on their profile, and Luna decorated banners for people with effects and stuff. Luna was recently blocked though, but I have contacts with her from other sites because I knew her before she started scratch, and the site in which we have contact you can upload images, so me and Luna are wondering if it’s allowed for luna to send me banners she made for people, and me to upload them so people can see it. None of her banners are inappropriate or anything, btw.

this is a questiion

First of all, this is a great opener to your story! (also I probably won't quote a lot because time hhh) Your prose is very lovely here, and it continues on throughout the rest of your story. This is a very impressive speedrun, and I love the way you describe everything.

My first critique (of the exposition) would be that the character's names are overused a little bit, which is a little clunky. For example:

“Ready, Yume?” Binary asked, extending her free hand to the named individual. She nodded, smiling brightly and putting her hand in Binary’s.
Binary flipped the Hourglass over and it glowed a bright blue. Then, the wisps of light and Energy wrapped around Yume and Binary, encapsulating them until, with a burst of wind, they disappeared completely.

Some of the names could be replaced with pronouns (or taken out in the dialogue) to keep the flow of the story going.

But still, she sat up, rubbing the back of her head slightly and looking closer at the child.

You could take “slightly” out here because it doesn't really add much to the story <3

“No—I’m not Nene. I get I look like her, but my name’s Aethra,” the child said, almost scolding. Yume felt a bit an “aww” at this little girl, but also a bit of fear of her assertiveness. Geez—

I think this could be rewritten to flow better- Like maybe "I get that I look like her“ and ”Yume felt a bit in awe." I really do like this paragraph though; I think it characterizes both Aethra and Yume very well.

“Oh, my bad. Nice to meet you, Aethra,” Yume smiled. She glanced around her. She was on a rooftop of a school, supposedly, and the familiar eastern air told her that she was in far-east Asia. “Where am I?” she inquired, and a familiar voice spoke up from behind her.

Maybe take out familiar in one of its uses here? It's used twice, so you could probably just take it out the second time.

noting the confusion and borderline concern in Yume’s eyes.

I really like this line lol- it made me giggle.

Binary nodded and her eyes turned azure for a brief moment, along with Yume’s, and then the glow dimmed and the two girls blinked.

This sentence is a little hard to read, so maybe you could shorten it or rearrange it so it's more flowy?

I love this next little part of the story. The characterization is really well done, and the dialogue's great too. The one thing I would change, is the very end where Tsukasa laughs- I wouldn't write the “HAHA!” in quotes because you already said that he laughed, so it feels repetitive.

Yume touched it gingerly with her shoe, and immediately her shoe turned back.

I'd reword this sentence so you're not repeating “her shoe” twice in a row- Also I think you meant to write black, not back <3

And then, it hit Yume.

I think you should take the comma out to make this more punchy, and maybe replace Yume with “her” to make it flow better.

then go to Binary and tell her that she was right—and what should they do.

This is a little confusing- I'd reword this sentence <3

Wow, that was a good cliffhanger ending! I was engaged throughout the entire end of your story, and I want to know what happens next!

Sorry for this really brief critique, but overall, I loved your story and it really only needs minor tweaks <3

I have no clue what you talk about, since i didnt release a project with this. I remix projects to archive them, and if you mean that remix i did (my activity shows it) well, i wanted a creeper face thing, that shows right there. But,

1. Its in my trash can, so uhhm…
2. It was up for a small time.
3. Well its a remix right? That person who made it would have done it too.
4. Its in that project, and i would be the only person to see it, because i only have 2 follows, and these people follow hyper-active people (a lot of favorites and hearts)

So ST, how do you know this?
