My suggestion is simple-(wait like everyone starts their posts with that)

Start every project with a green flag in the scripting area. This would be good for new scratchers.

Support - good idea

Thanks!

Support, I can see a use for this!
There wouldn't be any code under it, so it's perfectly harmless.

Support!

Every time I make a project, I start with the when flag clicked hat block.

when green flag clicked

Some of the tutorials do not even use the green flag block, so if anything this wouldn't do much except cause more confusion.

then no support (also this would probably annoy me for some reason )

This is absolutely dumb I know, but I feel like the Scratch Editor kinda represents a clean slate. You are free to create almost anything.
I'd like to keep that ‘free spirit’ mentality by starting the editor absolutely empty.
I know that's the stupidest thing I've ever said so please don't slam me for saying that

I mean, it does start with a Scratch Cat that most people delete anyway. I think that Scratch Cat and the cube from Blender would be good friends

I support. Just seems cool to arrive in the Scratch editor with a block already waiting for you that you're probably going to use (if you don't delete the cat, that is).

No support. I often start by building my custom blocks. If it was optional then support..

Well, you're just going to drag it in, and to me, it seems clean, as 95% of projects use it.

Haha, maybe it could already be everywhere, every sprite, every backdrop, thanks.

Hmm…maybe toggle?

I'm not sure about that, at least not on the backdrop. Deleting the “pop” sound is easy enough to forget already. Also there's only one backdrop.

Yeah, I like this idea more. Though good luck getting the Scratch Team to approve a suggestion involving user preferences…

support if you could delete the green flag block
reason in the OP

Yes, you can, and also, I'm not just saying that to get a supporter, I knew that I wanted that before he/she posted

If it is only in the cat it wouldn't annoy most people since they delete the cat and it would also be good for new users as they tend to use the cat more. It being in every sprite and backdrop would be very annoying even for people who use it.

Hmm….okay, only cat. (Backdrop would be very annoying because you usually never have code in backdrops)

bump

Does that change your level of support?
