Biiiiiiiiiiiiig Anti-Support. The scratch team does not allow personal info sharing, and it is possible to create that without that block

For example, lets say my birthday was, IDK, September 26

You could do this

if <<(current [Month v]) = [9]> and <(current [Day v]) = [26]>> then
play sound [Happy Birthday Song v] until done
end

It doesn't share personal information. The answer isn't the actual date. It's “true” or “false”. Also, the workaround wouldn't be a surprise for the user, or it would just have to be a certain user.

when green flag clicked
if <(birthday is today::sensing) = [true]> then
add (join (join (current [month v]) (current [day v])) (username)) to [list v]
end

This helps us to understand the age range of people who use Scratch. We use this to confirm account ownership if you contact our team. This information will not be made public on your account.

if <(birthday is today?::sensing) = [true]> then 
if <(username) = [NewScratcher]> then
set [cloudVariable v] to [...] // the date in numeral value will be stored in the cloud
end
end

This can easily be abused to get info from a specific player.

If a user wishes not to share this info, then this would really be depressing for some users.

if <birthday is today? :: boolean sensing> then
set [day v] to (current [date v])
set [month v] to (current [month v])
end

what are the chances that someone would want that, and the person who went on the project went on the project on their birthday instead of doing normal birthday things?

Sorry, I'm uncomfortable with people knowing my real birthday and I imagine many other scratchers are too, some scratches however do share (I sispect) their real birthdays. Because of this I do not support.

Heres the thing: I signed up with my birthdate as something way different then what it actually is. Also, I don't feel comfortable with random people I don't know telling me happy birthday even though I never said it was my birthday.

Also, there's literally no use at all to this block other than just to say happy birthday.

Account Information
In order to share projects, create studios, or post comments, you need to make an account. During account creation, we ask you for a username, your country, birth month and year, gender, and your email address (or your parent or guardian's email address if you are under 16 years old). We ask that you select a username that does not disclose your real name or other information that could identify you. Other users can see your username and country, but not your age, gender, or email address.
