I have an idea for a variable that counts a certain scratchers' followers they have. You type in a scratcher's name and it will show how much followers they have! There are also alternate variables like loves, favorites, and comments.

([follower v] count for [scratcher])
([love v] count for [scratcher])
([favorite v] count for [scratcher])
([comment v] count for [scratcher])

Follower count shows the total followers that user has
Love count shows the total loves the user got on all projects
Favorite count shows the total favorites the user got on all projects
Comment count shows the total comments the user got on all projects.

NOTE: All of these blocks don't need to be accepted, You can make them anyway you like! I hope you liked my suggestion!

No Support.
People could do something like this:

when green flag clicked
if <([follower count v] for (username)) > [100]> then
broadcast [Start Game v]
else
say [YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOLLOWERS TO PLAY! BAHAHA!]
end

It's the same with the other options. People could create projects that only certain people would be able to view, which wouldn't be right.

You could report the projects and/or edit the code by looking inside.

I think this would be a better fit for a Scratch API extension since these blocks are a bit too specific to be included as a core block.

I just don't get it if I had to be honest. It just seems random and will not have much functionality.

I can see that be abused the block.

For this reason, I say No support

Semi-Support.
I don't see why this is necessary.

About abusing the block, someone can just do this:

when green flag clicked
if <(username)=[griffpatch]> then
broadcast [start game v]
else
say [Only griffpatch can play this.]
end

I put something about one of these suggestions before in a topic.
What did I say?
No Support.
(Sorry if any of these sentences seem rude.)
Scratch is NOT about fame, projects could be made that need 10 000 followers, and the worst part?
It could cause a competition, possibly making New Scratchers think Scratch is all about fame, and not quality of projects.

Yeah - interesting idea - but I can see where we might get a lot of problematic projects with these. Sorry, no.
