Greetings everyone! As we mentioned on an earlier thread, we've made some changes to the way studios work on Scratch based on feedback from Scratchers. The curators tab on studios now shows two different roles:

Managers:
Managers can add or remove projects, curators, and other managers. They can also change the studio name, description, and icon. However, only the original manager of the studio can delete the whole studio. The original manager cannot be removed by another manager.

Curators:
Curators can add projects to the studio. They can remove only the projects that they themselves have added to the studio. They can not add other curators.

These changes will give you more control over your studio. It's your responsibility to choose managers and curators that you trust. If someone asks to be made a manager of your studio, but you don't know them well, consider asking them to be curator for a few weeks before deciding whether to invite them to be a manager. If you make someone a manager and they make big changes (like deleting all the projects in the studio), that’s up to you and the rest of the managers of the studio to sort out. (Of course, the Scratch community guidelines still apply everywhere on Scratch.)

The lists of managers and curators for each studio will be displayed under the Curators tab.
As always, anyone can follow or comment on any studio.

Thanks to all the Scratchers who gave helpful and constructive feedback that led to this change! And please bear with us a bit while we work out the glitches.

Scratch On!

Great! Awesome work!

Now, please allow me to perform a victory dance for us all.



EDIT: I also noticed that [scratchblocks] menu. Excellent!

I think this will help a lot with some studios that constantly get attacked

Also 3rd post!!!

Excellent! This will help with security a lot.

Also is there an option to bump a manager down to a curator without deleting them and re adding them

Nope! Just have to remove them, and then re-add them as curator.

Awesome! This makes it easier to organise my studios.

I can still delete any project I want, and I'm just a curator.

Scratch On!

So managers are basically curators, and curators are basically regular people at AE studios that can delete their own projects from the studios?

Great! This will give much more options for collabs!

But… wait change to studio normal!

Well, I know some people who will love this change…

Woohoo!

when green flag clicked
if <[Community reaction] = [YAY!]>then
set [I Agree! v] to [Yes]    
think [I wonder what they'll add next...]
wait until <<<Cloud Lists> or <Cloud Variable String Support>> = [Availible]>
say [Hope for the best, y'all!]    
end

Thanks for adding the Scratch Block list to post creators! That was really easy to make! I hope more come soon!

And so it has begun…

Ooh, neat, the [scratchblocks] menu

Thanks for the updates

How do you be a manager? Can you delete yourself? Is it possible for the answers be true?

Victory DONCE!(I know how it's spelled)
Oh, I need help adding pictures.

Will there be another row on your profile for “Studios I manage”? I suggest that there isn't another row, but it would be nice if there was a label that went with each studio saying whether you're a manager or just a curator.

What I mean is like in the “Projects in Studios I'm Following” row on the front page, it shows the name of the studio in blue text and what studio it's in in grey text. So on your profile, it'd say the name of the studio that you curate in blue text and your manager/curator status in grey text underneath (with a possible link to the curators tab on the studio?).

Great! The only thing I disagree with is managers removing other managers; I think only the creator should be able to remove managers. It can become a war of removal and people arguing with each other.
