But that isn't reportable, it is still a legitimate block that isn't inappropriate. It just isn't generally as useful, and there's no way a block would have to qualify as “useful”.There would be a report button and maybe a search box. No support. I wouldn't want to have to dig through blocks likedefine mooto find something useful.
say [Moo]
And a search function wouldn't necessarily be useful.
I want a custom block about “moving”.define move
move (10) steps
I want a custom block about “drawing circles”.define circleGr…
repeat (36)
turn cw (10) degrees

Perhaps only a select few would be able to add custom blocks, kinda like wiki editors?

Maybe there could be a date saying when the block was submitted, like a share date, to prevent theft.

Ah, Scratch Resources nostalgia.

Support. But here are some ideas:
1. Maybe we could have two sections: All, and Popular. All would have all the block people submitted, and Popular would have the most liked blocks, which brings me to number 2.
2. There could be a feature to “Like” blocks as used in idea 1.
3. We could have a “Search” feature, which displays them in the order of idea 1.
4. A “Report” feature for useless blocks, or inappropriate ones. Welp, looks like no one likes this.
5. Only Scratchers and Scratch Team members can add.

Report button–there's nothing wrong with that script, is there? It's just not relevant.There would be a report button and maybe a search box. No support. I wouldn't want to have to dig through blocks likedefine mooto find something useful.
say [Moo]
Search box–Still will be overflowing.
I'm talking about even ones that are fine, but only contain a few blocks (like say something and then move somewhere)That would be somewhat hard, if anyone were able to upload, there could be just spam ones, and it'd be pretty hard to find good ones/ones that you need.
True… maybe there could be an option to report them? This would also be useful if either the script was named inappropriately or the variables in the script were named inappropriately.

Support. These would clog up the servers.

I just read all of these and maybe you can love/fav the custom blocks and u scroll down and the most loved/faved blocks go near the top while spam ones and stuff like that will probably not be at the top.

What I'm saying is, you don't need someone to help you make a sprite say Hi. It's one of the easiest things to do on Scratch.So knowing something makes it not useful?Well, like, everyone on Scratch knows how to do that.But some people define that as useful.I mean things likeBut that's impossible, because different people think that different things are useless. 4.

You could make a studio for Community Blocks and include projects that have your preferred custom blocks.

Easy =/= Not UsefulWhat I'm saying is, you don't need someone to help you make a sprite say Hi. It's one of the easiest things to do on Scratch. So knowing something makes it not useful?
60 second rule, we meet again.
There's probably never going to be a feature in Scratch where something can be removed on the grounds of “Not Useful” or “Unnecessary” or “Easy to Do”, because that would ruin the whole point of Scratch.

Ummm, that's not at all what I said.
