So I've got a suggestion… y'know how the the time and date for Scratch is set to the time at MIT? Well, my idea is that there can be a setting where you can set your time zone so you don't get confused. It'll make things easier for people who don't live in the same time zone. There isn't too much to explain, since it's on a lot of sites. I made a quick picture in MS Paint.

Really? I don't really pay attention to it too much.
Never mind. I guess I'll close this then.

I don't know how a time zone will help you get tracked down (assuming you're in the USA)

Agreed, but there should also be an option to disable this. I don't know how a time zone will help you get tracked down (assuming you're in the USA)
I also agree and support an option to disable it.

I think it automatically adjusts now based on your location.
If it doesn't, then support.
It doesn't for me. It appears that their time is three hours ahead of my time (by looking at my messages), so support.

Please read my signature! It might explain some lingo that I used in my post or comment. However, not all of it shows, so you have to highlight the entire bottom of the post, from “Please read my signature!” to where it says report, and copy and paste in into a new sheet or tab or whatever.
I can't decide my signature between:
1. I'm a grammar stickler, and my pet peeve is when people use good as an adverb.
2. I have lots of [creativity]original ideas[/creativity]. [creativity]This[/creativity] is one of those ideas.
3. If I used this symbol: ⸮ in my comment, please look it up before doing anything else.
4. {Minot, North Dakota/Donald Trump parodies} “WE'RE GONNA BUILD A DAM AND MAKE CANADA PAY FOR IT!” “When Canada sends its water, they’re not sending their best drinking water…They’re bringing sleet. They’re bringing floods. The water's toxic.” (It's just a joke that I came up with.)
5. One should make his/her signature text small; that way (s)he can cram more text into the signature.
6. New [scratchblocks] idea each week! (Thanks to Bright-Idea (Read her signature.) for inspiration/the general idea.) Here's the archive:

It has the correct time, so this is pointless.

I don't think it would need to be adjusted in account settings, it can just base it off of the time given by your computer (just like many scratch projects do by comparing “days since 2000” and "current [ v]").
Another option is to change the few pages on scratch that do say actual times to just say how long ago something happened, like comments do.

It only shows the correct times for people in Eastern North America/Northwest South America. I assume you are in this area so your time is correct, but for many others their time isn't. It has the correct time, so this is pointless.
