Better educate Scratchers about remixes and recolors (full support so far!)
At the moment many Scratchers have little or no idea about the Creative Commons Share-Alike License, which all Scratch projects fit under. This license allows anyone to remix and recolor any project shared on the website. However, many Scratchers don't know about this license, and that can cause many problems. Recently, many Scratchers have even been quitting , because their projects are being recolored. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, that's their choice. However, this has caused panic, among Scratchers, and many people are now fully against recolors. Now people are doing things like threatening, and reporting recolors. This is not okay, but a lot of it comes down to a simple lack of education about this topic.
So, I have two suggestions on how we can do this:
1. A note in the Community Guidelines
I think this would be the best way. How about adding this to the end of “share”.
"Be sure to give credit when you remix. Also, remember that anyone is free to remix your project, if you don't want remixes, don't share it - please don't ask for no remixes.
2. A note when sharing a projects
There should be a note when you share your first project saying:
“Please remember that all projects that you share on the website must follow the community guidelines. Also, remember that anyone is free to remix and reuse your project.” This would not be dismissable, it would almost be like the one you get with your first comment, except for your first project.
What do you think?

Support for it in the Community Guidelines, but I'm not sure about whenever you share a project. That might get annoying…

Bump.
I've changed the project rule to only for your first project.
