Trending Project Protection (read desc.)

p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-

I see projects on tending get taken down from mass reporting multiple times.I am suggesting a Shield for a project.After a project was mass reported, the moderator could check it and give it more layers of protection so it would be harder to get mass reported. If the project was edited or re-shared, the shields would go away but, you can request shields (look below). Please let me know what you think!
Edit: If a project is in the top 50 on trending, maybe if you go into the editor there would be an option called “get shield” which would send a moderator only 1 time.

Support! Even though any of my projects has never went to trending I have seen projects on trending saying it got taken down due to mass reporting and it's not fair! So I agree but how would they put the shield tho?

No support for this because what if they want to add an update to their games?

Maybe they could request layers ONLY if they are on trending? Also, people could easily add something inappropriate with a shield if editing was allowed. There would be an option to change the amount of reports to take it down while the moderator was reviewing.

Would this not protect people who have reshared to get on trending?

So, good question. If a person reshares or edits, they have an opportunity to ask for a shield. When they do this, a moderator receives a notification in a tab just for protection. This is because you can only get a shield if you are on trending so it is much easier to review.

If a moderator already checked the project, then it most likely will not be “mass reported” again.

good point. I have seen a few though, like corona dash that were mass reported multiple times.

Read above. If somebody edits, the shield goes away but they can request some.

There's a flaw in this. What if a project I made was mass-reported, and it got reshared due to following the guidelines. Then, I can take advantage of this, and edit my project to contain inappropriate things, and since it can't get reported, I don't get alerted.

Where'd you get the number four? Was there a major experiment with its results taken down?

Well, someone suggested in a different topic that this could work if the report-immunity went away after you edited the project.

so some people have been experiencing issues with mass/false reporting

the current system sends reports to ST and if a project gets more than 4 reports it gets temporarily taken down

this causes problems when trolls report projects on trending to get them taken down and there are enough trolls on scratch that a lot of projects get taken down temporarily from false reporting

a possible solution would be A: just take out the rule that if a project gets reported 4 times it gets taken down and make it so if a project has been reviewed it can't get reported again unless it is changed

B: basically the same as A except projects get put in an order where the ones that have more reports get reviewed before the ones with less reports
and if reports have the same number of reports then the older ones go first

or C: for custom tell me what you think would be a good algorithm

tell me which of A, B, or C do you think would work best

I don't care what the algorithm is, I just care that it works

Some people use bots to report projects, I had a project on my old account that had 3000 reports but only 72 views, eventually i had been banned from scratch, we should have a recaptcha system when reporting projects
