How can we help?

I'm starting to see more and more projects that should be flagged and taken down, but many stay and don't get taken down. yes, I'm aware the khan academy moderation team isn't the biggest team, but i feel as if there should be more of a reason to flag inappropriate content, such as adding back the flag badge or maybe making a substitute with tiers (meteor, moon, earth, sun, blackhole), as I feel there isn't much of a incentive to flag content to the average ka user. Within 2 weeks, I've seen about 4 totally copied projects (NOT spinoff), a racism clicker, and sw*st*ka signs in 2 projects.

Hi martinez, brycen,

Thank you for sharing this feedback! I understand how having badges for flagging might be helpful---I will pass this idea along to the team!

Is there a particular area or page that you are seeing this kind of content? I think inappropriate/plagiarized programs on the Hot List are generally flagged pretty quickly, so I'm wondering if you are seeing these there or elsewhere?

I was able to locate the projects that I believe you were referring to in your post. Our logs showed that all of them were flagged and reviewed within a few hours of being created. Our response time on flagged projects is generally less than 24 hours (and usually quicker!), so if you see any projects that do not adhere to our guidelines please continue to flag them!

Thanks for your help!

can you check user flag logs, like projects they've flagged?

No I don't have a great way to filter projects by who flagged, but I've been seeing a lot of your flags popping up recently so I wanted to say thank you and let you know that your flags are being seen and acted upon!
