It's still considered a valid change. If they don't give credit (can't be a remix) and recolor, then you can report.
Before you say it shouldn't be valid, how is recoloring close to stealing art?

Well, that's not what the legal thing is about.
And please read TOLORS. Specifically, 3.2.
Also, that would technically be discouraging remixing.
And that last sentence was ninja'd.

i apologize, i don't know what ninja'd means- also the 3.2 thing is pretty much what we're complaining about and would like changed,, i'm fully aware that st is allowing minor changes. this “This suggestion extends to “extremely minor remixes,” such as a remix of a game that gives you 2 points per second instead of 1. As long as the user explains what they changed about the project and gives proper credit, this is okay.” is also in there, and a lot of the time the changes aren't stated and credit isn't really given aside from the remix message above the instructions.

Wait a minute…

TOLORS wrote:

9.7 Polls in the forums
Some Scratchers have suggested optional polls that could be implemented into forum threads so users can vote on a particular suggestion, state that they experience the same glitch as someone else, or for other reasons. However, the Scratch Team is less interested in polling results and more interested in constructive posts on the forums. Although polls could theoretically reduce the number of unconstructive posts, they likely would not help Scratchers think constructively and write constructive posts. This suggestion includes polls that Scratchers can create themselves, as well as pre-made polls.

but the exact problem is that it is considered a valid change when it shouldn't be- that is the point of people bringing this up, so that hopefully st sees the issue and something is done about this

I don't think it will be.
Scratch is a site primarily for programmers, who use each others' code all the time because it's convenient. If you want to share art, maybe it's better to wait a few years (if you're not old enough) and join a website specifically for showing art, rather than suggesting to change one of the site you are currently on's fundamental components.

yes, but i doubt st even looks at half the reports. for example, there's an account that people noticed a few hours ago who's trying to make scratch crash with spam, and it hasn't been taken down yet despite quite a few people (i believe) reporting it. this happens with remixes that go against the guidelines too.

Exactly. Scratch's world and rules doesn't revolve around the artists.

recoloring is close to stealing art because hardly any change has been done to it… a different artist still did the lineart, shading, etc. all the remixer is doing is changing a color or two with a click. there's no effort in that.

i emailed the st 5 months ago and was told covid was the reason they might take some time to reply. i still haven't gotten a reply. i can understand a few weeks, maybe even 2 months, but 5?

As a person who recolored two years ago because I was scared no one would like my art and would get made fun of, its harder than just a click. But then again, I actually reshaded, and changed the patterns.
