[hold click to zoom in] [space for context] some unfortunate news i tested positive for project taken down by the ST :( ironic how a project denouncing the ST over taking down a project for an irrelevant reason gets taken down for the same irrelevant reason (the project was 2 years old anyways lmao) extra context: sometime in late-ish 2022, i made an animation based on a joke @BlockBite137 made about the "days since 2000" block. in december that same year, the animation was taken down without good reason by the st for "disagreement with another user" (which was not true). so i did the next logical thing; i made a new project about this unfair removal and it "kinda" blew up (it got 97 views in 2 years!! omg im famous!!!). that was back in the days of the "old" blue theme and the baller pfp trend (evidently). today, september 16th 2024 (its actually the 17th as of writing but who cares?), almost two years later, i checked scratch and saw that the project was taken down. again, there should have been nothing ToS breaking about it. so i'm back and i'm complaining about it. the st is more corrupt than the US government. reintroduce actual human moderation and maybe people would stop complaining about the unfair moderation practices? it's not hard to hire a few hundred moderators to monitor reported projects/comments/forum posts. you're literally the MIT. you should have millions sitting that could be used for the good of not just scratch users, but like, students too. why don't you use it if you're a top-tier US school?
