  • Why Code.org Project R3d is a good and bad thing

prepare for a long post.
some of the info in this post might be inaccurate as this is what ive seen, comment if i missed some topics and points

Project R3d is a project led by coders to ban all chats on CDO. Personally, I think it is a good and bad thing. Here's why.

CDO has had chats based off Brendan's Chat. It has been going on for about a year now. The projects in the Game Lab section in CDO are filled with these chats. A coder by the name of peptobepto started a mission to ban all these chats and revive CDO once and for all. So he started Project R3d. Chats have been disappearing left and right because of peptobepto and his friends, I forgot their names sadly. Personally, I think he is doing the right thing. Here is why.

WARNING: THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME REALLY NAUGHTY WORDS IN THIS SECTION OF THE STORY, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

I think this a good thing because chats have been roaming around CDO for a year and it's getting annoying. Chats are also a bad place to be because they are filled of pornography, excessive roleplaying, tons of racial slurs, and many other things that go against the CDO guidelines. And, it's not fair for good coders who actually have good games they spent hard on. It isn't fair because they won't be having anyone playing their game. Why won't they have people playing their game? The people are all chatting. That is why tons of coders have quit this past year because of the chats. And, the people who make the chats literally take down people's games and get their accounts deleted. There are hackers who think it would be funny to get someone's CDO account banned, when it isn't funny. That person could've had years worth of really good projects. All that effort for nothing. (prepare for some naughty words) In my opinion, those hackers are motherfuckers as I have been targeted myself. Last year I had an Adventure Time RPG game called Adventure Time: The Game and it had 98k plays before my account got banned for no exact reason. I found out the person who took down my game because they literally exposed themselves in a Skype chat. (i have gotten this news from other people.. but who uses skype in 2023??) Fuck those hackers. 4 years of work all go down the drain because of those bitches. So thats why I personally think Project R3d is a good thing. But heres why I think it is a bad thing.

Peptobepto needs to think as well, there could be another war on CDO like what happened with Sam and everyone, and some really bad stuff could happen. I know this because before I used to hop on chats to see how they were, and I joined at the wrong time. Someone got their IP address and their SS number leaked. And it was constantly spammed. It was real, because people posted gamelab projects with pictures of their fucking house. Thats too far.. they got doxxed just because of a coding platform.. crazy, right? So that could happen again if chats keeps getting banned more and more. But we still do need chats to be banned.. but just not the way they are right now. Heres a few tips I had in mind for peptobepto:

#1: Report chats anonymously so you dont get risk of being doxxed or more worse stuff could happen to you
#2: Don't interact with the community as they could suspect you if you act too sus
#3: Go undercover if needed to get more info on hackers and chats

But there is a solution that would probably never happen.

CDO GETTING BETTER MODERATION AND STAFF.

If CDO had good moderation, chats could've been banned and gone from the platform a long time ago. It feels like CDO is ignoring their community in this current drama with chats right now.

Please comment if im wrong with any points with this.
This post will probably be very controversial. Dont send any hate to anyone mentioned in this post, and dont hate on me please, im still a child in 7th grade.
thanks for reading :)

    ItsDannyBruh I have a tool for exporting all your work (i can post it here but i have made it available before)..... and it doesn't matter how long this goes on
    this is an example of pandora's box once you've opened it there's no closing it, CDO is a non profit organization so no one is really getting payed for this. in this game of wack a mole if you kill one 2 more take it's place and while it's some sort of attempt to moderate it they aren't apart of the CDO staff making mass reporting (chats/projects) a unlawful action even if the project was against TOS they are also breaking a rule as well much like them if they aren't careful they could end up in a situation that Adam was in not too long ago

        Varrience The day code.org learns how to, well, learn is the day pigs will fly. Did I mention that they unpatched the vulnerability that I abused twice after The Incident?

            [WUT] Adam i believe you did but yea once it starts getting them in legal trouble is when they'll care

              ItsDannyBruh
              i think the problem is that CDO is primarily a learning site, and secondarily a sharing site.
              cdo's main purpose and goal is to introduce and teach programming to kids, not to support a community which is why ka, which actually tries to support a community, is better.

              now you might ask, why does cdo even have a public projects page?
              tbh, i dont fukin know. someone probably thought it was a good idea or maybe cdo thought they needed it to compete with the other learning sites

                  ItsDannyBruh Tip for posts in the future:

                  That thing about leaking the IPs and SS numbers? It could have been Sam, and Sam must have been lying a bit, because that was me, and all I did was put a backdoor into some of my code, which he shamelessly stole, which I exploited. I then told Sam that I stole all of his account info and had access to his projects, which he believed because, it's Sam. If such info was constantly spammed, how come I've never seen it? How do you know that the house had anything to do with anybody? Who is the goddamn person you are even talking about? Make sure your sources are reliable, kids.

                      Ravage it was peptobepto, there was a official project r3d project and it said in people who were behind this it said "Creator of Project R3d is peptobepto" and remember, i said this might be inaccurate

                          ItsDannyBruh "War" there really isn't war... since they really can't do anything about it (unless they pull an adam move). I believe the "war" only happened in chat rooms and a few projects published telling Sam to stop. (note, few)

                              miztis and if it only happens in chat rooms... we can just simply report them with 3 clicks

                                ackvonhuelio if they WANT to compete, they should remove the phone UI and add a custom screen size because it removes a lot of space for making projects, add a search bar, and have a better moderation

                                    miztis (maybe I can make my touhou ripoff better and with extra space lol)

                                      people may be chatting and commenting on this post sill in a few months, it might age well

                                        Ravage you were saying who was that person i talked about, i explained who, and i said most of the info may be inaccurate in my reply, as it did say that in the post.

                                            Honestly, it's not a problem with the nature of the chats & the technology behind them, rather, a community problem and a lack of moderation on these things. Chats have lots of potential but are harmful if used in the wrong way. Since I keep copies of FCR separate from code.org, it is impossible to ban it forever.
