Bring back User ID block!
Oh mb, I remember now.This could be used for cloud or saving. Since there's no way to get a username from a user ID, what would this accomplish?
Also, the user id block was not the id of the user, it did sth different
https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/User_ID_(block) (it was replaced by username)
Wouldn't it just be easier to encode their username which just remains the same every time they click the flag (AFAIK this doesn't?? and if it does, then this is just the same thing)
IDK actually. Could be a shorter system?

If you encode the username for each and every player, if the project gets popular then you won't be able to encode every single username.Oh mb, I remember now.This could be used for cloud or saving. Since there's no way to get a username from a user ID, what would this accomplish?

Although you can find it, old blocks don't work. For this block, “User ID”, it says nothing, and when plugged into other blocks, becomes “Undefined”.

It should use the User ID from the Scratch API instead.

1.4 Social action reporter blocks
This block could be used, for example, to obtain the current number of loves of the project. However, project creators can easily use these blocks to prevent Scratchers from playing unless the project is given enough loves. If a user presses the love button on a project, it should be because they enjoyed the project, not because they are trying to reach some sort of goal. Social actions are not intended to be a way to interact with a Scratch project.
This suggestion extends to all social actions, including views, loves, favorites, remixes, comments, and followers.(number of [loves v] :: sensing)
you could use this to report how many views a project has (if you have good coding skills), thus leading me to this rejection. I dont know if this rejection entirely related to the post, it's just something to think about.

This has been opened for a while, and people who are logged out or are New Scratchers count towards the views. you could use this to report how many views a project has (if you have good coding skills), thus leading me to this rejection.

Someone could just use cloud variables to make sure that the user is a Scratcher, and restrict from there.This has been opened for a while, and people who are logged out or are New Scratchers count towards the views. you could use this to report how many views a project has (if you have good coding skills), thus leading me to this rejection.

This is kinda a dupe?
The topics should still be merged, because of the amount of discussion on this one.

If July 2024 was a long time ago, I must be extremely oldSupport.

Then that is already reportable xD if they are just locking people out for being a new Scratcher (unless the main project purpose of the project was cloud or something like that)Someone could just use cloud variables to make sure that the user is a Scratcher, and restrict from there.This has been opened for a while, and people who are logged out or are New Scratchers count towards the views. you could use this to report how many views a project has (if you have good coding skills), thus leading me to this rejection.
