Possible Solutions for the Problem of "ADD EVERYTHING" Studios

+1. The curators and owners of the AE studios probably wouldn't listen to me because I'm not well known on Scratch and they want to keep their collection so they can get their goal of “1,000,000 projects” (which I don't think will happen anytime soon)

Yes, I see what you're saying. Luckily, some well-known scratchers are supporting the cause and making projects that are getting tons of love-its and becoming front paged.

I felt like add everything studios are making a dark side to scratch (sorry for star wars like,im a fan).It just adds a fame to the owner and not to the others.By the way,it's just making overcapacity @ my messages box.

Hmm, I can't say I've experienced that, but many people here have complained about that. It must be really annoying when you see you have a message, get excited, open it just to find that x wants you to curate this studio, there was new activity in this studio etc.

!!!ATTENTION!!!
I think it is ok if you make an Add Everything studio, as long as you and the curators ask a scratcher before putting their projects on the studio, and/or you're NOT using it for fame, and you're using it for fun.

I have that same problem (except for getting curated, I've only gotten curated to two studios, both against this.

) and I don't get many messages so when I get one, I get over excited.

Could anyone make a rough calculation on the average of the number of projects in every add everything studio?

Most of the ones I've seen are about 1000 projects, but there are a few topping 100,000 and I've seen one with only 75. Either way, they still have allot of projects. Even 75 is a large number of projects to have in a studio.
I just did an average of 10 random ones and got 4138.7

Yes, I don't think many people realise what they're saying when they say "this project only has 75 projects in it."

I dedicate all my supports to this. It's not just because as you said, this is spam, but because people will be encouraged to make this *… and that, people, practically dictates a method of how society will keep getting dumber, and dumber, and dumber, and dumber, and dumber, until everything on Scratch is stupid. I don't even know how they allow this to even exist! Plus, like somebody said earlier, if long forum quote chains cost bandwidth, how come these “add everything” studios don't?

Good news! Found a studio that was an AE studio, now the owner has changed the notes saying that they are closing it down and for the curators to delete projects! We must be doing something right!

So….the major complaint is that these studios add your projects and you end up getting messages that you don't want?

I'm not sure what a good solution would be…putting a limit on the number of projects in a studio might work - but some real studios used by large classrooms have as much as a couple of thousand projects. So any limit would have to be fairly high.

Having the ability to remove your projects wouldn't do anything for the “too many messsages” issue - those would still show up.

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.

No, the major complaint is that these studios overcrowd the sidebar and the screen showing the studios a project is in, drowning out “legitimate” studios. My preferred solution is to be able to choose which studios show up in the sidebar, although being able to remove your projects would be easier. Therefore, a limit on the number of projects in a studio wouldn't be necessary.

As for the messages, if we could control which messages we get, that wouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for replying

Not only the studios bar, but the similar projects bar.
Even with a cap, projects would still be added into this row and sidebar, so the problem would still exist.

I don't think messages is a problem though.

Yes, they can just unfollow/remove themselves from being curator of the studio…
