Aight that’s it, I gotta talk about the crappy moderation on scratch.
And by crappy, I mean absolutely REPULSIVE.
I have several problems with the moderation itself, not the idea of the site.
The site is SUPPOSED to support people of all race, sex, pronouns, or anything else.
That’s cool, and respectable.
MY PROBLEM, is that its moderators are almost worse than the toxic community it’s supposed to moderate!
First of all, these crusty fricks do nothing about anything worth paying attention to or moderating if you’re LUCKY. Otherwise you yourself are probably getting banned for being a supposed part of said questionable actions, reguardless of your position in the situation. And 9/10 times the guy who was the cause of such a conflict goes unscathed. Plenty of examples occoured like this to my own friends and even myself, and still to this day, even months after, they still haven’t gotten even NOTIFIED FROM THE MODERATORS for a single warning, let alone a block or ban.
Second, if something bad happens to you, like getting hacked or something, you could rely more on a child driving than the moderators fixing the problem. This happened to my pal InsaneGame2018 back on scratch, which was hacked by a guy called Auto Magna, and even after notifying the scratch team, nothing has been done after MONTHS of this issue with this person.
3: the strictness of this community is absolutely outrageous.
FOR ONE THING, while scratch is made for kids, they literally made one for little kids called Scratch Jr. And yet for some reason you have to watch your back if someone even says the word ‘Kill’, or even mention FNAF for some reason in your general direction, or you could very well get banned on the spot.
and finally, this isn’t a huge issue but it’s stupid nonetheless, the community guidelines state not to express personal information, but it’s strict to the point where you literally can’t even say the word ‘Discord’. Also if you write a long number, it leaves all X’s instead, possibly because they think it’s a phone number or something, and while that may not be the case, it is most certainly the most likely one.
So yeah, I’m getting ticked off at that website for multiple reasons, mainly because I found out recently that many good people from there just got banned, like @Alzter (still pending on wether innactive or actually blocked/hacked), @ACNHGamer, and months ago @Frostpen got blocked there on his main for literally no valid reason, and I’m fed up.
Scratch is for those 7+, not 7 and below. Act like it, Scratch.
