This is not a scientific poll, as it is for referencing sources on the Scratch Wiki. Please answer in a way that abides to these guidelines. Thanks.

Kickin' it back up again. The third poll actually, but the first one on 2.0.

THE PAGE: Scratcher#Definition

THE STATEMENT: “There has been some discussion on what a Scratcher actually is. It can be any of {several different things.}”

THE QUESTION: What do you think the word “Scratcher” means?

Your input helps keep the information correct and up to date, and gives it a source to go by. Thanks!

To me, it has two meanings:
1. A person who uses Scratch
2. The status a user gets after being active for a little while (i.e. not “New Scratcher”)

Same here.

An active user of Scratch: A project at least every month, a forum post at least every week.

Either a user account on the Scratch Website or the forum rank, depending on context. To me, activity in certain areas of the site or at all doesn't really matter for the title to apply.

1- Someone who uses Scratch, the Scratch website and/or the Forums.

Someone who uses Scratch on a regular basis and enjoys it.

One who uses Scratch.

I think it's someone who uses the software, website excluded. I'm sure there are a bunch of people who just play Stach games, but don't actually create anything, and I wouldn't consider those people Scratchers.
