Should “nicknames” be added to the list, or is that too similar to changing your username?

33: Banning certain franchises:
The Scratch Team will not ban any franchise as a whole unless said franchise contains shockingly inappropriate content and little to no clean content, and would be virtually impossible to make anything appropriate out of it. The reason that certain franchises such as FNAF have some restrictions is because they are very popular and had many inappropriate projects made about them (see number 17), however this is a fairly rare scenario and there's no need to do it with most franchises unless they suddenly become very popular on the site with many inappropriate projects about them coming in too.

Paddle explains it better than me, though:

As with so many of these “Ban some game or movie” suggestions, we feel that it is possible to make Scratch projects that are appropriate for Scratch with the material. Also, we have not had a large number of inappropriate projects based around Star Wars.

Please use the Report button on projects that you feel are not okay for Scratch - but we don't see a need to put specific restrictions on Star Wars based projects at this time.

Nice list ;) Why would Star Wars be inappropriate? I mean it is kinda scary, but . . . . . (Sorry I watched Star Wars and I found it not scary/inappropriate.)

10. Changing your username:
It would be very difficult to keep track of people if they could change usernames, and users would likely be confused when someone they follow changes their username. Additionally, that would add another layer of difficulty to the moderation of the website, making it harder for the Scratch Team to follow what a user is doing, and could be very hard for the servers overall. However, the Scratch Team has occasionally changed users' usernames by their request, but it's only been in some rare cases, such as when their username contains offensive content. Nicknames will most likely not be added either for very similar reasons, and could potentially be even more confusing.

Just because people can't change their names doesn't mean they can't re-register tons of times. Ever seen anyone have this thing on their about me saying:

Past: @username
Present: @username
Future: @username

This is a strange phenomenon I have encountered where people comstantly change account, and sometimes on top of that make alt accounts as well, and as such become very hard to track.

I think that when your commenting you should only do nice message's.I mean like, before you post the comment you check that it is not a mean comment. 2 thing's could happen:1, if one of your follower's found out about your mean comment they may think"I need to agree if I am gonna be that guy's follower!'2 The poor person who followed you would have more follower's and it would pass on! so if there is something we can all do it's post nice comment's! One day I was just about to comment on one of my most fav project's and then what did I see? commenting on that project had been band because of all the hate it was given! I was so angry! I wondered who gave that nasty comment. To take my mind of it I worked on a project. But it did not help at all. Everybody (even not on scratch.) should help bring this to an end. Everybody should watch there word's.

I believe users who change accounts a lot/make ALT accounts to get around moderation can be banned. I rarely see users doing what you described.

We are not considering a “skin” that switches between the look of 2.0 and 3.0, but we may consider being able to toggle which side of the screen the stage is on.

I feel like I already sorta asked about this, although maybe not clearly enough. Is “a skin that changes the 3.0 editor design to 2.0” rejected?

I asked you about the stage switching before, and you said it might not be rejected, since it is being “considered”.

However, a skin that switches between the look of 2.0 and 3.0 seems to be rejected, since it's not even being considered.

What do you think?

(Can't comment on your profile, so I figured I'd try to contact you here.)

Hmm.. I'm not sure. They said they aren't considering it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a rejected suggestion right now. I suppose we'll have to wait.
also, the reason my comments are closed is because of the situation i described in the “i'm in a somewhat difficult situation” topic..

I think you can maybe officially add “Switch between 2.0 and 3.0” to the rejected suggestions: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/337098/

Although I'm not exactly sure if this refers to the “skin” option or switching the actual interfaces.

The way I read it was that they wanted to be able to switch between 2.0 and 3.0, as far as the look and feel of the editor goes. To me that, sounds like a lot of complexity, both for the coders, but also for anybody trying to write documentation or teach Scratch.
