Don't remove automatic remix credit when the original is unshared

Support. Everyone should get credit.

Maybe the link should be there but with the “(unshared)”?
That`s a nice compromise.

Agreed. There was a project that I remixed and the original person who made it unshared the project. Support.

Don't remove automatic remix credit when the original is unshared

Full-on support for this. I have an old project called School of Derp, which is a remix of a project called “School,” which has since been long deleted. That project used to be my most popular project for a VERY long time. And since lots of new scratchers don't usually read the instructions or description, that would lead to many of those new scratchers thinking that my project was 100% original, which it isn't.

Someone today remixed a long unshared project of mine. This would've been helpful (although my project was crappy anyways)

Don't remove automatic remix credit when the original is unshared

Maximouse wrote:

When you remix a project, a link to the original project is added automatically. But when the original project is unshared, it's removed. This can sometimes be a problem, because if the users who remixed the project didn't mention that in the Notes and Credits (and many people don't, because the automatic credit is sufficient), others could think they made the project but it's actually a remix.
  • If a project has multiple remixes, they could be reported as copies of older remixes.
  • If the original project is inappropriate, the remixes would be reported and the people who made them could get in trouble although they didn't do anything wrong.
  • If the original project was a copy of another project, the remixes might be reported as copies.

This could be solved by not removing the automatic credit. But links that don't work can be confusing, so maybe it could look like this:

Support, I agree with this fully, a Scratcher could copy a project exactly and convince the original creator to unshare it as a workaround to automatic credit. At the same time, this workaround could be used by those making a new account to move to, so perhaps it won’t apply if both account ps have the same email?

maybe instead of saying ‘unshared’, the link is still there and just goes to the 404 page.

That would be confusing because the 404 page doesn't explain the project is unshared.
