Change The Ban System
Change The Ban System
The Issue
Hi there. Just like you, we also want to support one of our community members who is experiencing a crisis. However, Scratch is an all-ages website for kids as young as 8 years old - comments that are too intense for all Scratchers don't belong on the site. Scratch is just not the place to work out these feelings. We are more than willing to unblock an account once we hear from an adult (i.e. parent, school counselor) to ensure the user is getting the support they need.
I was told by a scratcher, that getting angry about
things like bans, IP bans, and blocks, will only create
a bigger commotion on whats happening around
scratch today. So, I am here to make a petition that
won't be angry, but to at least have reason.
A fellow scratcher, SuperKirbyLover, has been banned,
blocked, and IP banned from scratch. She mentioned
something that seemed not to be detailed in the
scratch guidlines. It was about what was happening
in her outside life. She was going through depression.
And she still is. She can't recieve help from her
parents, counslers, or her own family because they all
care so little about her problem. She cannot email,
saying she is getting help, because that is a lie. She
wishes for a second chance at this website, and to be
able to do what she loves again. And what will be
her escape from pain and sorrow.
And she has nobody to turn to, her parents, couseler and pretty much everyone she knows dosent give a single damn about Scratch, so please, sign this petetion to make a difference
"I promise not to speak about my hard
times on sratch, NEVER AGAIN in such
bad ways. I will from now on speak what
I think is acceptable in scratch. Please
(Scratch Member), give me a second
chance."
