Scratch+ - Scratch for Older Kids

This is the idea
So basically, What this is is an idea for Scratch for older kids. Some Some Community guidelines would not apply, as it is for older people

I still need an age range for Scratch+

Here is what would not apply(in crossed out) text: (copied form the community guidelines)
Scratch Community Guidelines:

We need everyone’s help to keep Scratch a friendly and creative community where people with different backgrounds and interests feel welcome.

Be respectful.
When sharing projects or posting comments, remember that people of many different ages and backgrounds will see what you’ve shared.

Be constructive.
When commenting on others' projects, say something you like about it and offer suggestions.

Share.
You are free to remix projects, ideas, images, or anything else you find on Scratch – and anyone can use anything that you share. Be sure to give credit when you remix.


Keep personal info private.
For safety reasons, don't give out any information that could be used for private communication - such as real last names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, links to social media sites or websites with unmoderated chat.

Be honest.
Don’t try to impersonate other Scratchers, spread rumors, or otherwise try to trick the community.

Help keep the site friendly.
If you think a project or comment is mean, insulting, too violent, or otherwise inappropriate, click “Report” to let us know about it.

I hope you like my idea. If you have any ideas for Scratch+, please reply! I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Sorry but this suggestion is rejected.

Scratch is designed for all ages, and dividing the community would not really help anybody.

I think Scratch for older kids is already rejected.

EDIT: Ninja'd again by the same person!

If there's ScratchJr, then why no Scratch+?

Because the only point of ScratchJr is to introduce young children to coding. It doesn't have a community aspect at all.

Scratch is made for everyone, not just a specific age group. Removing parts of the community guidelines isn't a good idea even for older users, especially the personal information rules

Scratch Jr. is just simple coding.

Also, a website suitable for older people (such as 13+) would divide the community. Scratch is made for all ages, and will ALWAYS be for all ages!

We don't feel that a Scratch website for older folks would be beneficial - the great thing about Scratch is that anyone can learn from anyone else. In particular, people can learn from users who are older and have much more experience than them. We don't want to fragment the community by subdividing it into enforced age groups.
