The Scratch Team should make a sub-domain called ADSIM.scratch.mit.edu where there would be a fake simulation of the admin tools that you can experiment with!
Or like.. moderator tools and stuff

where people can edit each other's posts and stuff

They are to experiment
They would only add the things that people already know that exist,
they can hide things that they don't want the world to know!
Or, here's a list of what would be added instead:

• A fake admin sidebar, the buttons won't do anything

• A real edit button on everyone's posts

• A mock-up forums report queue, but the Zap buttons would actually work, and if you report something, it will show up there

• A button to feature projects/studios, they would actually appear on the sub-domain homepage but not the real website (This one)

• A button to unshare projects or delete studios

• You can edit any description, title, thumbnail, project.

• Show how many scripts and sprites are in a project

• The dustbin or other personal moderator/admin tools won't show up

• Every damage on the sub-domain won't apply in the real website (This one)

This sub-domain would start like a new scratch! You can make accounts, and you automatically get the scratch team status and an asterisk (but you can only do the things above)!

Pros

• it does no damage to the Behind-The-Scenes of scratch and does not affect it at all

• It would teach advanced programmers how it works and experiment with it

• it could be used as a simulator for ST applicants.

• You can delete the website any time

• it could be fun

Cons

• It could be used to learn how to trick the filterbot into thinking you're not swearing Deleted because there are limits to how much you can do

• it could be used against the scratch community (But that would only happen if advanced users get to the website)

• it could become a mess

That would be funny and awesome. I want it right now.

They would only add the edit and delete button at every post, not the “Move” button or show the dustbin

Basically its a version of the site where you ‘play’ with admin features, but to others, you did nothing?
It would definitly be lots of fun.
But maybe, add some sort header in the top of all these simulation pages saying that it's just a simulation, none of these changes will be applied for others/on the main site.
Still, i really want to know what admins see- this would be very fun.

(this means support, it will be fun, i will use it a lot)

Read my edit, it will be a admin version of scratch, but with limited features
A new beginning, no accounts, no projects! You'll have to make yourself the first ever account on this sub-domain!

Would be funny but I don't think it would be worth the work needed.

I mean, all the ST got to do is just make a copy of this website, remove a few stuff, and that's it XD
But they need a new server…

They won't need a new server, but quite a lot of modifications to the code.

Yes, it would take like a month
But they have like 100 developers
Which will take like 20 days..?

not to mention they have to add a redirect from http://adsim.scratch.mit.edu/projects/(ID)/ to https://adsim.scratch.mit.edu/projects/(ID)/admin

That's… no, that's not how it works!

Anyone supporting?

So like ACNH's Dream Codes? (For those who don't play, you can do anything to the island that you have the code for but it doesn't affect the original island)

Uhh i guess so

This suggestion still has no educational benefit for Scratch.

Yes it does
It's for experimenting
