Make test accounts scratchers!

edward789121test

Because look at me, I am the test account for someone with the “scratcher” status, and I cannot make any projects.
And

i have the 120 second rule.
I cannot post links to outside of scratch, or post images.

Of course, if the main account is a new scratcher, then the test account will also be a new scratcher.

How will you detect a test account?

If the scratch team finds it, or if it has the same password as someone else and contains at least half the main username and the word “test”

No support. Someone could act okay on their main account, and not act good on their test account. It's not safe.

It's only a few weeks wait, just be patient.

But on the computer, I have scratcher rights because I learned my lessons, why not my phone?
Plus, there is something called “reporting”.

Not all users have “test” in their test account's username. Some users make a capital i a lowercase L and a capital l a lowercase i.

And the impossibility of making projects with my phone

And I have to curse the 120 second rule, not 60 second rule

That has nothing to do with new scratcher status.

Wait for the HTML5 editor if you want.

Still, it can be dangerous to automatically let someone become a Scratcher after they made their account. It could be a spam bot someone made. Also someone could post links to dangerous websites. Would you rather wait or get a virus on what you use for Scratch? It wouldn't be safe.

What if I made the account griffpatch_test? I'd then get instant promotion to Scratcher even though It's not a test account.

But it would probably not have the same password.

So, this program would search through the scratch database, looking for a use which has a similar username and the same password. Checking the similarity of strings, especially based upon percentage, wouldn't be easy. I don't think this is a good use of the Scratch Team's time.

1. Would there be a safe way of making someone Scratcher, and couldn't I just make all my friends Scratcher's through such method?
2. What real benefit does this have? It just makes it easier for others to become a Scratcher ruining it's purpose.

You're meant to go though the New Scratcher rank to learn what's it like to be a Scratcher. Not exploit your way around it.

No, what if the account asks for a request and the other has to approve.

The new Scratcher thing is for the inconvenience of bots, and so technically one could have a Scratcher account and then create a bunch of bot “tests”

I also liked having my test account separate from my main back when I had a test.

..? Can't you log in on your test account and make 1 or 2 projects on your computer..?
