Instructions

Hello reader. I have been noticing something going on Scratch, and wanted to share with those who may not know about it. Recently, there have been an absurd amount of people that have had their accounts banned without reason. I know at least 8 Scratchers in the last 2 weeks that have been banned from 1 or multiple accounts for absolutely no reason (myself included). Most get no explanation, or the explanation they are given is irrelevant and ludicrous. @-LackFX-//@-Lynch-, @VirusMGYT, @-SonicSuperStar-, @PaperMarioFan2022, @pianetz, @funboimeeper, and SO many others, all wrongly banned. This isn't fair. Some of these people have been on their accounts for YEARS. They don't deserve this. Scratch Team, before you click the ban button, or however it works, please CHECK BEFORE BANNING!!! Scratch is a coding website for children! You are banning KIDS!! People who have done NOTHING wrong. They are getting massed reported by spiteful, vindictive Scratchers who have nothing better to do than bully other people. And now, there are Scratchers who are scared they will get banned. That all their hard work will go away at the press of a button. And, I get it. I'm scared to do anything that might be able to be reported, because they might decide "hey, let's get this person mass reported.", and then that's it for me. (continued below)

Description

To anyone on ST reading this: I have been on Scratch a short time, but I have friends that have been on it for a long time. I understand ST is entirely volunteers. I understand that it is EXTREMELY difficult to moderate a website as large and traveled as Scratch. I cannot thank you enough for putting your valuable time aside to help keep Scratch safe for us. But, like I said earlier, most Scratchers a children. Most Scratchers are aspiring coders, designers, artists, animators, game developers; and they are here to learn. And now some of them can't learn anymore. They give up. They think about quitting or leaving. All I ask, is that you pay more attention to who you are banning, and, most importantly, WHY they are being reported. Is there a reason? Have they done anything wrong? Or are they just victims of someone else's bullying and spitefulness? Thank you so much for reading this. Feel free to remix or make your own project about this! -@FunBoiMeeper
