Every one of us at some point in our life makes mistakes sometimes for which we are punished.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, if we commit a mistake intentionally or unintentionally in Scratch, a <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/block-based-coding\/\">block-based coding<\/a> platform we are punished by the Scratch team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the punishment here refers to ban, mute, and block. So here we are going to discuss, What does getting muted on <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/guides\/scratch-programming\/\">Scratch<\/a> mean? How long does a user get muted? and how to avoid being mute?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we find answers to these questions let us first get to know a little more about Scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-about-mit-scratch\" data-level=\"3\">About MIT Scratch<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-does-getting-muted-on-scratch-mean\" data-level=\"2\">What Does Getting Muted On Scratch Mean?\u00a0<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-for-how-long-does-a-user-get-muted\" data-level=\"3\">For How Long Does A User Get Muted?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-how-to-avoid-being-muted-on-scratch\" data-level=\"2\">How to avoid being muted on Scratch?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-mit-scratch\">About <strong>MIT Scratch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the name suggests Scratch is a platform developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This platform was made at the MIT Media Lab intending to get kids familiar with the concepts of computer programming. They wanted kids aged 6-16 to learn to code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Kids-Coding-Resources-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Scratch Coding\" class=\"wp-image-4006\" width=\"768\" height=\"384\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And honestly, it does its job pretty well. Today, Scratch is one of the most used platforms to learn to code for kids and it also has one of the largest communities of coders and creators in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was released in the early 2000s and is also a programming language in itself. Scratch is a visual block-based programming language and a high-level one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like in any block-based coding here the codes are already in the blocks and all a user has to do is stack these blocks to <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/create-first-scratch-project\/\">create a project<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has colorful and attractive blocks with the use of which users can create numerous games, <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/how-to-animate-sprite-in-scratch\/\">animations<\/a>, and other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-getting-muted-on-scratch-mean\"><strong>What Does Getting Muted On Scratch Mean?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scratch is a block-based coding platform primarily for kids ages 6 to 16 so it has to ensure a 100% child-friendly environment to implement this scratch uses a filter bot (an automated bot) to mute users from posting inappropriate comments and forum posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, a mute prevents a user from posting unwanted comments\/ posts temporarily but he\/she can still use the rest of the scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the filter bot mutes a user, a message is sent to the Scratch team to look into the matter that is to check whether the mute implemented is legit or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a user is muted multiple times for disrespectful or unwanted comments, the Scratch team may issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/how-to-avoid-getting-banned-in-scratch\/\">ban<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-how-long-does-a-user-get-muted\"><strong>For How Long Does A User Get Muted?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A user gets muted for 5 minutes for his first inappropriate comment but the time duration keeps on increasing if the user continues making absurd comments but if the user stops commenting on unwanted stuff, the time duration resets to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-Is-A-Mute-On-Scratch-1.png\" alt=\"What Is A Mute On Scratch\" class=\"wp-image-6695\" style=\"width:726px;height:497px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-Is-A-Mute-On-Scratch-1.png 968w, https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/What-Is-A-Mute-On-Scratch-1-480x329.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 968px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-avoid-being-muted-on-scratch\"><strong>How to avoid being muted on Scratch?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lock is always manufactured with a key so every problem has a solution to it.
