Ban New scratchers from using scratchblocks

Floragato

Simple as that.
Pros:
Prevents Blockspam

Cons:
May Be Annoying
Limiting
Harder to suggest things

CT-7569

No support. Sometimes New Scratchers have to make suggestions about blocks, have a question about a block or they may need help with scripts.

Also, there are more cons than pros.

–CT-7569

-Valtren-

no support.
blockspam can be done by anyone, scratcher or new scratcher. banning someone from using something extremely useful that can hardly be abused in a meaningful way just because of the slightest chance of someone spamming the feature is not going to solve the problem.

We have suggestions and HwS that would be really limited with this.
Besides, fi someone does blockspam, just report them. Maybe redirect them o the test topic.

bump since dupe

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make. (Credits to ZaChary) My signature thankfully hasn't been eaten by an evil kumquat yet, so I hope it remains that way. My 100th post!! Be sure to follow after watching my animations!!

Do you understand what that means? When I say bump because dupe, it means that another topic was a duplicate of this and I am bumping the original topic.

Scratchers blockspam too.
And this would make it harder for new scratchers to explain their problems on Help with Scripts, and new scratchers, as far as I've concerned, are more likely to need help.

Still, good idea. Even if it wouldn't be that big an addition, it would be a fun thing to see. I'm sure a majority of users would enjoy it, or at least not hate it.source

Floragato, there are more cons than pros. Also, new Scratchers need more help as they are less familiar with Scratch and don't know how to fix bugs in their project. How will they get necessary help if they can't use scratchblocks and need to wait for the 2 weeks to use them?

I'm still straying away from that mediocre piece of writing and refining my work to become this, which is still not the best:

It's midnight. You're sleeping, completely unaware of what's happening when two strange large red lizards with wavy stripes that are a brighter shade of the red used by the rest of their body walk to you and lift your entire mattress to move it to a glowing green portal that lands you in another place. You don't know that you're even moving, just sleeping, covered in a comfy thick blanket, while hugging your soft pillow. The red lizards place you in an area that you don't even see until hours later when you wake up from your very heavy sleep.

Here is a solution to the problem. If the New Scratcher has scratchblocks in the forum when they press post they get warned to use blocks appropriately and not to blockspam but can still press the post button to post it. If they blockspam multiple times afterward and get reported for that, then the scratchblocks feature will be taken away.

Message that could be used:
“It seems like you are putting blocks in your post. Please make sure the blocks are related to the topic. If you want to test blocks then use the green checkmark (Optional part: or use the block testing topic.). Misuse of blocks can disable the scratchblocks feature”
