Primarily for remixes, when I want to give someone suggestions I don't always want to clutter up my project list with other peoples projects where I have made minor gameplay changes. Even if unlisted projects are listed in a smaller area, I really just want to be able to remix without publishing it as my own on my profile.

I just use a test account to do these sort of things.

unlisted projects are a good idea!
i dunno how it would affect moderation tho

Sort of agree. But since my idea is so different I made it it's own topic.

i was about to suggest this idea but i had to search on ocular first and this came up! i support this suggestion because if your a student and you ONLY want this to be shown to your friends and students or you want to do some secret ARG.

This would probably fall under 7.1 of TOLORS, if the OP is talking about only seeing the project via its link.

7.1 Private messaging
Scratch currently has public messaging, meaning anyone can see the comments that you write. As a result, people are more likely to be respectful since anyone can see the comment. However, with private messaging, people know that only the intended recipient can see the message, which could lead to many more disrespectful or inappropriate comments. The Scratch Team also simply does not have the resources to moderate a private messaging system, precisely because there would be a lot of bad comments. In addition, it is a huge Internet safety concern and is not the purpose of Scratch anyway.

This topic was made in 2013 and I can see the rejected suggestions topic is made in… 2019

It doesnt really matter when “the rejected suggestions topic” was made. Because that topic is an index, not “proof of rejection”. What's important is the actual posts themselves which say something may or may not be rejected. For example, this one:

Sorry - I'm going to have to reject this idea. We depend heavily on the community to view projects and let us know when something in the project goes against the Community Guidelines. Restricting the viewing audience to a very small number decreases the likelihood that we would get a report if the project were not okay. It would also make it easier to do some forms of private communication, since we don't have the resources to view every project.

Right, it's not really meant to be a rebuke or something to point out that it's rejected. At this point, we've just considered the idea but do not think it's a feature we can reasonably add. Sorry.
