A lot of people are against recolors , so I thought we should make a scratch rule against recolors , recolors are not creative and hurt ESPECIALLY if you specify ‘NO RECOLORS’ Ive never had a recolor , but how would you feel if you drew something and left it on your desk , and you com back from getting a snack , and there your picture lays , completely scribbled over. Plus it doesn't make you any better at art by coloring over peoples art. it's a quite hurtful if you specify ‘NO RECOLORS’ and they recolor it , and art theft…. that's even worse , claiming another's hard work your own. It can hurt. I could go on for ages about recolors and art theft. Please just hear me out.

I think you could possibly report that, emphasis on the possibly. If someone's taken your art, recolored it, claimed it as their own and hasn't taken it down even if you've asked them, you could probably report it.

But if you asked them NOT to recolor than they should respect you.

Sadly, because of scratch's remix policy, you can't stop that.

It is, in a way, disrespectful itself to say “no recolors” on a project.

The fact is that if you don't want somebody to recolor your art, you shouldn't share it on Scratch because as long as a person gives credit and makes a distinguishable change, it is allowed on Scratch.

Recolorings are actually allowed. When a user recolors something, it counts as a change as they are changing the colors. So, as long as credit is given, there's no reason why a user can't recolor another project.

As said above, all projects shared on the website can be remixed. If you don't want that to happen, then don't share them on the website.

^These two posts sums up the policy quite nicely.

A lot of users think that additional permission is required to remix a project and that they can put up things in notes such as “no remixing/”no recolors"/etc. rules. The reality is that this that this practice goes against the remix policy (let alone violates the CC license that is automatically put on projects when they are shared), and we have sometimes unshared projects whose notes go against this policy with a notification not to discourage remixing.

We're not one to shy away from art on the Scratch website or from Scratch being used as an art software, but what you are aiming for is an online community where art is simply displayed not shared. The Scratch website isn't that community, and trying to change an existing online website (Scratch or otherwise) to fit your needs isn't sensible, it just doesn't work that way. There are other websites out there that better fit this purpose, you just need to search for it.

By saying “no recolors” you are breaking the Scratch license (Creative Commons ShareAlike 2.0) which I will share the link if I get the ST's permission to do so Therefore, you shouldn't do it because you violate the license (unless you unshare the project)
