While I am aware that this website's rules are literally just “don't upload porn", I don't think posting "vagina" on a random studio or posting "stupid dumb studio" are things that we want. They (their gender is the N word) also misused the reporting system: (look at the Closed tab) https://r2.scr.chipmunk.land/scratch_admin/tickets/

I got a ban appeal from them in my inbox:
My account is @FuckingPieceOfShit for the matter. Okay, so, I just got permanently blocked today by Heathercat123 even though I never actually broke any rules. I wasn't actually being "mean" to anyone like she said, I was only saying meaningless random things on projects and to people for no reason, and even then that's not stated anywhere in the guidelines page, in fact it even says "the mean girls" are welcome.

Anyway unless their comments get too spammy or anything I'd say they're fine. The site could use a bit of insanity to make things interesting.
While those aren't particularly high-quality comments, as long as the site isn't filled with mainly such low-quality stuff I don't think that's an issue. Sure, "stupid dumb studio" is somewhat harsh feedback, but by ruleless website standards I'd say it's actually pretty tame.

Oh and I forgot to say. If the comments are indeed unbearable, I think the user should be infinitely muted instead. I only gave Oringe a real ban out of fear that he would try to get in contact with a minor by sharing projects, and I don't think that would be a real issue in this case (because like, FuckingPieceOfShit does not seem like a chomo to me).

I mean… after lurking a bit more I noticed that the user's comments were indeed a bit spammy. Still even if that does continue to be a problem, I see no point in giving the user anything more than a mute.
Also now that I check the closed tab I see all of the spam reports from the user. Others' reports are more meaningful but they're still for stuff that isn't really forbidden here, given that this is meant to be an anarchic website. I have a feeling said reporters never read the (absurdly simple) community guidelines.

And I'd also calm down a bit when it comes to deleting comments. As said before, I think this place would be more interesting with the insanity and chaos of nearly unfiltered comment sections. Perhaps reports from owners of the relevant projects/profiles should also be held to higher regard than others.
And back to the topic of insults I wouldn't mind some "saloon fights" here… not that I wouldn't also want some order to come out of the chaos, though I'd think that more or less happens naturally.

Idk, to be fair ScratchR2 and APIClone lack blocking so maybe running sites based on them permissively is less feasible. I still think it's worth a shot though, it's what I started the site for after all.
I forget if I ever told this part of the story, but I think I randomly remembered my idea to make a Scratch clone near late 2025 while I was playing on kaboom.pw. Anyway I and the other players realized how interesting an "anarchy" version of Scratch could be (note that we were already on a Minecraft anarchy server too).

Wait I had a new idea. Maybe if someone writes rules on their profile or studio (as many Scratchers tend to do), those can be taken into account when handling reported comments on that profile/studio, projects published on a profile (anyone can add stuff to a studio so that doesn't count), or replies to comments from the profile's account.
So if rule-less-ness is too extreme for people to handle… This could serve as a way to preserve it while still trying to let everyone have what they want.

I gave them a 9999 mute due to it getting out of hand: he threatened to rape Pinkie (which is "making her suicidal", harassed her multiple times, and my ticket queue is still crying in pain.
