some people cant think of a username so why not make a generator?
there would be a generate button on the signup page where it would make a username in this order:
noun, adjective, random number

bin weevils had one so why not scratch?

nevermind do adjective, noun, random number (1-99999) instead because it will just generate nonsensical usernames

Edit the original post. and yeah it would make more sense.

Support. It would be really useful for those who can't think of a username. You should be also able to select the language (using the latin alphabet).
Having an account named something like -Darkness- is better than having no ideas and naming yourself Dragon3837.

semi support

I think it'd be cool if they can choose the order of words, although that might be a bit too much…

what if it starts generating reused usernames? will that be a problem?

Simply make it so that it doesn't generate usernames that were already used.

But then it'll eventually run out of names to use. With the tons of people on Scratch, that would be a problem.

Semi-support. I know Reddit has it, and it's a very valuable feature. However, this might potentially increase the number of spam bots (like what happened on Reddit thanks to the new API change) so

People can still use a random username generator outside of Scratch, anyways… or spam a bunch of characters

You only need to bump once every 24 hours and when the suggestion isn’t on the front page

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Bump
“ Bumps can be very useful when a user wishes for more opinions on their topic. Sometimes, topics which are helpful but do not provoke discussion (such as tutorials) tend to get buried after a while, and thus need regular bumping. Such helpful topics are sometimes stickied or ITopiced. Bumping should generally be limited to once every 24 hours, or once the topic is no longer on the first page of the forum; however, it is good Scratch Etiquette to wait at least a couple of days before a bump. Some users have even tried to change the rule.”

No it's not

you already have to ask the server if a name is taken after a user inputs one, so doing that here until you find one is fine. alternatively, you could generate names on the server itself.

You know, that’s a terrific idea! Some people can’t think of their own username, and they need some F R E S H ideas. I like how you came up with this idea.

Which is an external site not supported by the ST. + it would be nice not to have to do that. + at the very least, if you're gonna recommend external websites recommend perchance.org instead (which actually has a generator specifically designed to generate scratch usernames)

corrected, thank's for pointing that out! I actually have a GPT4 powered chrome extension on my surface go that fixes my spelling mistakes, but I forgot to install it on my main device.
