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.
