Scratch

Scratch is an online community made by MIT for children to not only learn about programming and animation, but to have fun and chat with friends. Basically, it's Facebook and Youtube combined, but techy.
You make little games, or videos, or whatever by snipping together these action and programming "Blocks" like Legos. You can do various things with these blocks, like move a character around, animate a character, or make a screen scroll. At first, it's kind of hard to understand, but you get a hang of it.
The Scratch Team and it's users are very welcoming, and their are a lot of fanbase-related things on Scratch. Anime, Gaming, Music, Art, whatever you're into, their are hundreds of thousands of people on Scratch into the same thing.
Bottom line, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you give Scratch a try.

My network has been banned from scratch and yeah, I can't use it at my house anymore
Although I can use it at school, I am very worried that my account won't be unlocked in the next few days because it can take up around to 3 days - forever ( that's what I searched up) and now it just fills up my anxiety which angers me. I may have broken the rules and made an alt which ALSO broke the rules, I understand what I did wrong, but bruh, I heard people that they don't even read what you appeal. And you can't really do anything to unblock your network which is sucky like garbage.

As a former user of Scratch, I wanted to say that the engine of Scratch is pretty amazing, and stuff like Turbowarp that extends on scratch is also pretty neat. The fact that you can create games and such is always a cool thing.

However the moderation is absolutely terrible, I got banned from accidentally doing something and the Scratch Team hasn't responded to me in a YEAR, not to mention that they pretty much ignore the community's requests and they don't actually listen to them because "we know what's best for the site" but no, if they actually knew what was best, they would of changed the moderation and try to at least keep the site running decently. Aside from the moderation, there's times where the site will bug out with projects not loading properly or not even just working, or even the site completely blacking out. Even the fact that they prohibited addons is just really terrible.

Another thing is that the algorithm for the featured projects is also extremely biased, like there's rarely anything unique about the featured projects and only once in a while you'll get something unique, but regardless it's only just generic, low quality platformers and animations.

I mean I love the engine, but I don't really recommend anyone ever joining this site, downlaod Turbowarp instead.

Overall, this is a good coding site, but it's the MODERATION that messes things up. When I started, I was basically ADDICTED to scratch, but then the next year I got IP BANNED. FOR NO REASON. I would recommend it for beginners, but when you reach a certain point scratch is pretty much useless

I was just scrolling through my friends profile Glimmerbury. When all of a sudden I click on one of her friends profiles and it tells me my network was banned. I've sent several messages through their contact us and email over 10 WEEKS AGO AND STILL NO RESPONSE! I would not recommend this site.

Sooo a Numberblocks fan days ago commented on my profile ASKING for my age. (They broke the Scratch Community Guidelines) And said they were 9. They probably got blocked for asking AND sharing personal info. I don't like how people read and BROKE the Community Guidelines. Scratch blocks/bans exist y'know... (btw i used they/them since i don't know the gender)

Scratch f#cking sucks! They ban people for garbage reasons! The community is mean and very naughty! Scratch team likes to ban people for fun and don't give a f#cking crap if they made a mistake! People cyberbully on scratch! People report projects and start a war! It doesn't let people use their real names in usernames! People of all race are not welcomed because people are making racist stuff about an asian name and mocking it and scratch doesn't see it as a problem! Scratch allows the use of private parts such as a peach or an eggplant which is very naughty and inappropriate! I hope scratch gets canceled cuz it does not teach anyone about coding! Instead it encourages people to cyberbully others, make fun of their culture or race, and start a war against each other and lets people gang up on someone! Hope this review helps us to get rid of scratch!

I love scratch since you can make, remix, share and lots more on it, including commenting and replying! Only thing is... Too many bullies and people are destroying this lovely site, and innocent people are being banned for no reason at all. Though, overall, it is the best site EVER. Btw follow me *******@TheManOfTheMan10 :) Usually I find coding with languages hard like C+++, Jave, Python... Scratch is the BEST AND EASIEST CODING LANGUAGE. Go now!
scratch.mit.edu GO MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT NOW. Until then, Scratch On!

By the way, I love coding in any language =-)

Scratch will remove your project regardless of if it is inappropriate or not if the project gets reported enough times.
