I would like to request that there be an option to change a previously created variable from “For this sprite only” to “For all sprites”. It would really help with one of the projects I am working on.

-Thanks for everything!

stretch vertically (0) units

stretch horizontally (0) units

play sound [ yeet v] at (1.11)

if <(backdrop name) = [This]> then
set [variable v] at x: (100) y: (0)    
end
if <(backdrop name) = [That]> then
set [variable v] at x: (-100) y: (0) 
end

Alright, I've finally come to throw my suggestions out. Never able to do it before, but here we go:
-Sprite stretching: a block allowing to stretch/distort sprites. There was something like this in an early version of Scratch, but was removed and let to rot.
Example:

stretch vertically (0) units

stretch horizontally (0) units

-Sound pickup: a block that plays back a sound from a certain area.
Example:

play sound [ yeet v] at (1.11)

-MIDI support: allows uploading MIDI sequences into the editor. Would probably help alot with saving space in a project, keeping it under the 50MB limit.
-Better quality editor: a more swift editor, perhaps programmed in HTML5 if possible.
-Variable coordinates: allows the user to tell where a variable will be on-screen.
Example:

if <(backdrop name) = [This]> then
set [variable v] at x: (100) y: (0)    
end
if <(backdrop name) = [That]> then
set [variable v] at x: (-100) y: (0) 
end

Well, that's pretty much it for now. Please fill me in on the possibility of any of these suggestions.

21. Sharing projects privately
It is important that everyone can view a project, so inappropriate content can be reported.

22. Charging real money/in-project micropayments
If someone could charge real money to run a script, it would limit the access of some people to Scratch. Also, this would be a very complicated aspect of Scratch, but it would not teach learning Scratchers/New Scratchers any more.

23. Less scary alerts
It has been decided that alerts are okay the way they are.

24. Stopping banning impersonating joke accounts
Impersonation is not permitted on Scratch. Scratch does not allow any joke accounts. Impersonation jokes go too far for jokes within Scratch.

25. Setting a limit to how many times the same comment can be reported
This isn't a big problem. It is rare for several people to report the same comment, and it's never hard to deal with.

Also

26. Increasing limits of FPC actions

We intentionally give control of the the Curated Projects row to the Curator with very little restriction so that they can put up projects that express what they like about Scratch. Of course, it is important that Curators do this while abiding by the Community Guidelines - which ask that everyone be honest and help keep the site friendly. If you think that a Curator's actions are working against those principles, please use the Contact Us button to let the Scratch Team know.

This may not have been suggested multiple times, but I just wanted to point this out.

This may end up getting rejected (sorry if this is unneccesary).

27. Facepalm emoji
A facepalm emoji has only bad uses. Self-deprecation is basically the only thing this would be used for besides misusing it for bad comments.

28. Enabling users to block other users so that any comments or messages from those users to them would be deleted
In other words, bringing back the Ignore List. The Ignore List was removed because it doesn't help much to solve problems because it wouldn't notify the ST for the comments, it would just hide them. A better way to solve this type of problem would be to simply report the comment so that the ST can handle it. This would make moderation of the site easier as well as keeping things polite.

I think this has been officially rejected, so could you please also add this? Credit to @joshuaho.

Digital currency might be cool for some Scratchers but can cause problems such as competition and not focusing on Scratch's purpose. Scratch itself is not a game.

Also, you should mention IAPs on projects. Some people have suggested it, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

I was thinking maybe a “insert ___ block” block? Idk, but maybe. Also, maybe a randomize button? Again, idk, but I would hope that this is possible, since I am guessing the actual blocks that we use have codes that are basically “insert ___ code” codes, and there is the “pick random __-__” block and “last letter of ___” so you could use “insert ___ code” to the insert block…but that would require some extra programming to select the block…again, idk… and for randomize its probably "repeat until project = shared: open pick random to last project in recently shared"…if there is such a thing…IDK, I'm just putting it in the only code I understand: Scratch! Anyhow, hope you'll consider!

Add the previous costume block.

Has that been suggested frequently, or just by a few users?
