LOL xD
YAYZ!!! UPDATES!!!
However, the user reporting one I'm not a fan of. It's better if you can tell the Scratch Team what's wrong with the profile.

Opposite, really. Can I just say, I dislike the simplification of the report button. For one, this means someone could report someone else for no reason. Also, the ST would have to go searching for anything the Scratcher did wrong, right? You can't provide links or proof to any rules violated, so there's no telling if they did anything wrong or not. People could get admin messages for no reason, or even banned if it's done multiple times. I don't see how this makes it easier for the Scratch Team, or us Scratchers. With the recent drama, I think some people are going to report each other out of spite. Stripes over and out~
One of the problems we had with the previous profile reporting function is that users were using that to report when Scratchers were doing something mean instead of flagging down the mean comments and project instead - and that made it harder to track down the ban actions because we couldn't figure out where the mean stuff was coming from. We never really quite intended for users to use that report profile button for reporting users who were making mean projects or comments, we just wanted it to be for reporting inappropriate profile descriptions and/or avatars.

* Simplified profile reporting
Oh, you mean just perma-banning people who only deserve temp-bans, or warnings?
One of my friends was permanently banned just earlier today for disrespectful comments (which honestly, unless they're a repeat offender or what they said was absolutely horrible, shouldn't be perm), and another just quit the site because of the new system.
Do not perma-ban people who don't deserve it.
I understand this is a “kid-friendly” environment, but every single person on here has made mistakes before.
Even you, Scratch Team. The self-proclaimed “Premier Inn” that kicks out guests that only deserve a gentle warning.
Just…just reconsider it. You'll lose popularity if your reporting system automatically perma-bans anyone for anything.
Do NOT lash out at her, please, but this is what my friend posted. In the description is her opinion on this update, and I honestly agree with it. http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/18046088/

Also, once there was a user who was repeatedly getting around a ban and I kept reporting the profiles. However, with this system, I can no longer do that.
Yeah, that's a good point. Plus at least three people have been permabanned already because someone didn't like them and wanted to get rid of them. It's a little unfair to ban people for making small mistakes, or doing nothing at all.

No, not at all. Far from it. * Simplified profile reporting

One of the problems we had with the previous report system is that people we're using the profile report system to report users who were making mean comments or projects instead of reporting the mean comment or project itself. Using the profile report page for that purpose actually makes much harder (if not impossible) for the Scratch Team to track the bad stuff down.
We never intended for it to be used that way, we just wanted it to be a function where users can report when a user has an inappropriate username, profile description, or avatar. So we simplified it for this purpose. We plan on putting a similar function for studio to simplify the studio reporting proces.
