Ban Hacked Blocks
By that logic,See above. It hides a list, variable, or other thing. It's like hiding something from the police. It's lying by omission.Wait how is it lying?Hacked blocks like the red square with the two dashed lines shouldn't be allowed, but blocks that are hacked into inputs where they aren't supposed to be in (i.e.Not true. Put extension blocks in an already-shared project. It works.set (var) to (0)) should be allowed. Also, extension scripts aren't technically hacked (though they show up as “undefined” when it is not installed but Scratch already prevents you from sharing projects with extension scripts), so I think they're OK.
Support for allowing reporters to be put into all dropdowns and boolean inputs.
Now then, think. Using the above block, if (var) wasn't the name of an already-made variable, it would create a variable, again, being dishonest by lying to users.
I'm with Sheep_Maker now
hide variable [ v]should be banned too.

No, because the variable still exists in the project without running it. Show and hide are fine, because the variable isn't created or deleted, but being able to create variables is bad.By that logic,See above. It hides a list, variable, or other thing.
