NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

My fancy Sonic animations and art get removed!
ScratchU8's “eetchy” animations get removed also!!
No one is allowed to do art requests and user icons anymore!
Everyone is doomed!
They all flee from Scratch.
Scratch now only has 20% of users left.

I think it'd be 10%

I was about to put 10% but then I was like nah.

Did you see? 60% of all projects would be removed! Many users would not appreciate that and run away. Scratch isn't all about coding, it's about being creative and sharing your ideas. If Scratch was a total programming site, users would find it “too technical” and pass.

There's too much of that *. We don't need the whole front page to be covered with those drawings so that good projects with GOOD CODING CAN BE FEATURED!!

My main point is that Scratch was made for kids and teens to learn coding. Scratch isn't Scratch when coding is being replaced with drawings. Yes, all projects have code, but Scratch should see more projects with a good amount of coding so people can learn from each other and even get ideas. But that can't happen like it did way back when Scratch started when all there is to see on the front page is cat drawings and whatever else drawings there may be.

I would say that “good” means that the project creator has an interest in programming.

Play my Boat Journey game. What would you call that? Decent right?

Here's the twist:

At the time I was completely bored out of my mind. No interest in making it.

Oh, then it's bad. (No, really, its actually awesome.)

Then 95% of my projects, including my best Sonic fanart, would be “bad”.

This is exactly why CMatoran decided to go all extremist with his suggestions. It's because people aren't programming, they're making art projects. You guys need to understand that Scratch should be used for programming. It's fine if you share an arty project every now and then, but 95 percent of your profile being art is bad.
