3.2 Disable remixing or censor minor remixes

One of the most important ideas of Scratch is the share aspect. Scratch is a website not only for displaying your work, but also for sharing it with others, and by posting your project on the Scratch website you agree to allow others to remix your work. You are not allowed to write “Do not remix this project” in the Notes and Credits of your project; you may get alerted for this, because it discourages remixing. This suggestion extends to the ability to require permission to remix a project, as you have already given permission to others to use your creations by sharing a project on Scratch; for more information, see this post.

A remix of a project is allowed on Scratch, even if the remix only contains minor changes (this includes recolors). However, when you remix a project, you should put in the Notes and Credits what you changed. If you see a project that contains no noticeable changes, please use the Report button on it so the Scratch Team can take a look at it. 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.

However, a feature that prevents unchanged remixes from being shared is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.

I agree.

But the blocker should block every remix except if the remix includes one or more of these criteria:

- Adds one or more blocks in a script, excluding blocks in the “Control” tab.
- Adds one more script with at least one block from the “Events” tab.

Well, yeah, but what if somebody added another script, remixed the project, and removed it?

No support, this would be way too easy to work around. Support for the concept, though, but it would be really hard to implement a foolproof copy-preventing system.
make it so you cant remove it

Define “any changes”.
You didn't do anything on the project but push “remix”.
At least that's my definition
Well, or you didn't do anything worth an autosave in Scratch's opinion.

Which is basically not doing anything but pushing “remix”.


Everything is worth an autosave if something has been changed and it's been five minutes (this includes moving a script from the left of the editor space to the right without changing it)

Changing the title should not count as a change, to prevent certain types of spamchains.

Lets say you have to add/change at least 10 blocks or change the art.
That way, even if people spend time placing useless blocks, itll encourage them to do more.

or make it where it can't remake the project that is being remixed without making changes to it.

Yeah, and the same goes for the description (Instructions, Notes & Credits). Of course, this is very easily worked around by just comparing the project.json files, rather than the project API JSON, as the description and title are both stored in the project's API page, and the project itself (the project.json file) is not, and assets are stored elsewhere on the servers and referenced in the project.json.

It also eliminates changing the thumbnail as counting as a change, because that also isn't stored in the project.json.
