An explanation of the "New Scratcher" status
I believe I have a signature, at least it let me make one. I wish that the ´New Scratcher' thing would not happen if the account was not registered to an email with other authorized accounts though.

An explanation of the "New Scratcher" status
OhThey have various ways of identifying them. IP is just one example. I don't know all the ways they can identify a user.But if they used a new name?They could, but if they persisted with trolling afterwards and got reported, they would get banned.When you joined the website, you may have noticed that your user profile says “New Scratcher”. If you haven't, it looks like this:So about the trolling
Anyway, you may find this annoying, because it has a few restrictions. Before making a topic asking how to get rid of it, please read this brief post about it.
Why it's here
The short answer is to prevent spam.
The longer answer is that this arose out of an actual situation that occurred. A while ago, a bunch of trolls created disposable accounts that posted inappropriate images all over the Scratch forums. In order to prevent that from happening again, the Scratch Team decided to create the “New Scratcher” status, so that in order to have the privileges that could lend themselves to trolling or spamming, users would actually have to show that they use the site for real and wait around a little bit. Unless a troll were extremely dedicated (which is exceedingly rare), he or she would get bored and move on before being able to cause any significant damage.
Restrictions
- Can't use cloud data
- Have to wait longer between posts
- Can't edit posts after leaving the page
- Can't post links to any non-Scratch site on the forums
- Have to wait 30 seconds between comments
- Can't post images
How to get rid of it
I knew the criteria on the old website, and it involved the amount of time you were registered, the number of projects you had, the number of comments you had, and the last time you visited the forums. In order to prevent this information from being abused, I am not going to list the exact numbers for each. On this website, I think the criteria are very similar, but may have a few changes.
Just be active, post constructive comments on peoples' projects, make projects, and generally be helpful around the site, and you will eventually find a link on your profile that says “Become a Scratcher”. Click it, and you will be promoted.
Any questions? Just reply to this thread!
Please notify me of any incorrect/outdated information!
- Well can't they just wait untill there a scratch?
Also can't they just more user and do the same thing?
They ban new accounts when they can identify them as a previously banned person, so the accounts probably wouldn't last long.
So combined with banning, it probably helps prevent trolls.
