So many studios force scratchers to follow some particular scratcher. That is rude and disrespectful; we can choose who we want to follow! You get random invites, scratchers telling you to love and fave their projects! Also, we all get popular in the natural course of time!
Now, you might be thinking: “Oh, we can't stop it!”
Well, at least add that to the guidelines please.
-You know who I am

Just don’t join those studios then.

This is the same argument for banning follow for follow which is rejected so no support

Asking to ban these kinds of studios is exactly like asking to ban Follow for Follow which is rejected here:

7.3 Ban “follow for follow” (F4F)
Although many Scratchers do not enjoy seeing follow for follow requests, asking someone to participate in follow for follow is relatively harmless. If someone asks you to do follow for follow, and you do not want to, just politely decline their request. If they keep spamming you with requests, you can use the Report button on their comments.

If a studio requires you to follow someone to join, it might already reportable. I don't think you're supposed to use follows / loves / favorites as currency, but I could be mixed up and thinking about the fake cryptocurrency rules.

It probably depends on context though. For example, if you want to join a griffpatch fan club studio and someone replies to your request “But you're not following griffpatch?,” that might be ok since it's not exactly using follows as a currency.

No one's forcing you, even if it might be annoying (trust me, I get a lot of studio invites a day, so I know how it feels)

Now, there's a simple solution:

First, turn of commenting on everything to dodge from those follow me people.

Second on your about me or Wiwo, say that you're afk. This will confuse users and they will not send you server invites.

Third, simply ignore the studios.

Is by opinion, not facts.

I don't see how they'll force people.

dude, those studios are asking for follows, f4f is asking for follows

A) There is no force in these requests, it's just "Hey please follow “ or ”Please love and favourite" B) There is nothing rude nor disrespectful about it.

No support.

I agree with this, but Scratch is not going to do anything with this.

Ok, I thought this was advertising, but it can turn out to be f4f, too.
Please don't spam.
This is my 100th post lol.
