Scratch is Hiding your Project (and you don't know it)

In this video, I'll tell you how Scratch hides your project from everyone and you don't even come to know about it! (Basically we're gonna talk about the Project Rating Status i.e. NFE and FE) Keep Watching!

Honestly, this feature makes sense, I just wish they'd add an indication or something if your project gets marked NFE. Having to rely on community made tools to determine if you're project is working as expected doesn't really make much sense at all. Guess it could be a way for Scratch to mark something as inappropriate without having to directly respond (a project I made a while back complaining about the Scratch Team got marked NFE), but even then it's messed up, especially for a children's website, not to tell them what they did wrong.

[@1trie]

But you can't post thing inappropriate to scratch

[@tommarnt]

no no slickback@@1trie

[@helo397]

I guess maybe they could at least give you a message telling you why it was rated NFE..

[@MAML_]

​@@1trie there was nothing inappropiate though

[@GroundFIsher]

@@1trie then it will be just reported and banned, simple. Same as with other platforms etc.

[@eason9]

Another reason you can't search your project is the indexer is glitched, due to a bug, projects now might take a few months to be possible to be searched. (not sure if its fixed yet)

[@Chrome_Cat]

Was fixed a while back. Projects get indexed within 12 hours.

[@RBLXShard]

@@Chrome_Catmy scratch project is 2 months old and if u search the name of it it doesn’t appear you can only find it by searching up my username and clicking on my project from there

[@eddgow]

and if your scratch project is really not safe for everyone itll literally get taken down. thats the reason my old scratch account got blocked (i think, maybe wrong)

[@McVincient]

Yes

[@Mark-2008]

According to the extention, only two of my projects are FE and the others are just not rated :|

[@Nhienzcute]

Don't worry, I have 47 projects but only one project it's rated FE and all of the other is not rated

[@Gravy_Guzzler]

thanks for being very clear and to the point

[@stickboy2149]

I'm sad because I made a project called boy potatoS a mr tomatoS fan game and it was being shown to other people then just stopped after I added a little bit of blood. like 3% of the game and its lore has blood. I worked really hard on it, and I'm young so it took longer than if an adult did it with coding experience. it was also my very first game that I put a lot of time and thought into.

[@McVincient]

sad

[@Chrome_Cat]

NFE detector is what I use

[@yv70bnomemes]

Same

[@ellayin0406]

Scratch doesnt even hide my clicker game: space io and its on popular like the versions has less than 100 loves and stars wdym scratch WDYM??!?!??!?! Edit:also i think the reason the remaster was rated nfe because theres a report option called "exact copy of another project" or whatever it is and the remaster has the same feature as the orginal so it counts as an exact copy of another project

[@McVincient]

I don't think it's an exact copy in any way

[@ellayin0406]

[@steffcheshire3374]

I searched my Scratch username and clicked on one of my projects (because I saw a project that was not mine). Then, I copied the name of the project and searched it. If I saw it, that meant that project is FE!

[@PoojaSharma-um4ww]

This scratch *LOGIC* is out of my understanding 💀

[@_3XP]

I think it is because the "sample video" contains lmao in the title

[@rubberspatulacosplay]

which means 'laughing my @$$ off'

lmao is allowed as longer you don't use it offensively or use it full form

[@McVincient]

[@jackunvailable]

@@McVincient It's allowed, but not encouraged. I read a thread on it a while back, it's intentional that it's not blocked in the filter, but it'd make sense why they wouldn't want that on the front page of their website 🫠

Man I wonder why my project “Better call Sual” is not visible in search results :(

[@AdaveGD]

lol my horror game "no safety" somehow can't be searched with the search

[@modesties]

This reminds me of the Scratch 3.0 cloud vote because it got NFEd LOL (made by Will_Wam) Also, sth else that should probably be mentioned: There's a bug where renaming a project causes that project to now show in search.

[@modesties]

I mean not instead of now LOL

Me: Makes a comedy project ST: Makes it NFE Me: Asks ST ST: Says that it's too funny Me: *Sues MIT Media Labs* (joke)

[@Supersaturn11]

I think I know how to get around this: You will need to download the project you want to share (don’t share it yet) Create a basic project that is child friendly and Scratch might detect it as an FE (for everyone) project When that’s done you can share the FE project. After you shared the FE project, replace it with the project you want to share I haven’t tested this yet, but i think it would work (if anyone is seeing this, try this and use the _Scratch Tools_ extension to check if it was still FE or it was changed to NFE (not for everyone))
