Okay so f4f really common to see floating around scratch but f4f it isn't right! Also follow everyone accounts! They are so anoying. Yes once I did f4f but now I don't see the point of it. This is the same with free follow accounts. My problem with follow 4 follow (I'm just going to say f4f) is that you aren't earning followers. People just do it to get more followers and that isn't what scratch is about. f4f is also a way of tricking the community which is against the scratch guidelines which can be found here. How is it tricking the community is someone says f4f on a persons profile and they agree. So they follow each other. Moments later one of them unfollows the person they did f4f with so they are basicly gaining followers. Example:
banana's profile:
_Lillion_: f4f?
banana: @_Lillion_ sure.
*follow each other*
*5 minutes later*
*in head* banana: Hmm I'm going to unfollow her!

See what I mean? And the only point of follow accounts are to get a certain amount of people to follow.
So my suggestion is to ban follow accounts and f4f..

imo this is just a similar thing to AE studios. some people don't like them, some people do, but those who don't will have to just ignore them because they won't get banned/removed

If someone wants to follow a ton of people why stop them? They aren't causing any harm. They are just a weak attempt to try to make others happy. Not all f4f end in the other person unfollowing the first person. It's the user's choice if they want f4f and you shouldn't warn/ban them for a choice that isn't hurting anyone.

F4F is not something that could be a threat to the community, it is just that it is not necessary so therefore I am not supporting this suggestion.

semi-support.

+ it's annoying, unnecessary, and abuses the follow option on scratch
- doesn't actually harm anyone, if they unfollow you then you unfollow them. give them a taste of their own medicine.

No support
While I don't like follow everyone accounts or f4f, it doesn't pose a threat to the community and is harmless (unless you spam.)

No support, they are in no way a threat to Scratch,

Although F4F can be annoying, it does not violate the CG in any way and are not a threat to Scratch. The ST has said before that they will allow (but discourage) F4F, and I doubt that they'll change their stance.

Also, I thought accounts that do absolutely nothing except follow people were banned?

F4F and “Follow Everyone” doesn't break the Community Guidelines and are harmless. If someone wants to do F4F, why do they have to be stopped for doing something that doesn't break the Community Guidelines an any way? Also, this would be hard to moderate as a large portion of the Scratch community do F4F.

No support.

Isn't this rejected?

Closing topic now.
