It doesn't exist. This is just a suggestion, but to make a normal comment, right click a block and press “make a comment”.

Support, but I really don't think they'll have another go at these blocks.

^^ The problem I see with the workaround is that the “comment” is in a single line of code. Most programming languages, actually I think all of them, allow for multi-line comments to prevent eye-sores from reading a mile-long comment.

I support.

You can get around confusion.
Comment "does not do anything":[No one will get confused by this!]
but with brackets instead of speech marks would work well.
So I sort of support it.

Support for the new idea - less confusing for new scratchers.

Dunno why I never said this before, but support. It would make a lot more sense.

Support!

It has existed before:


And I've made a similar suggestion, for better organising scripts using the same sort of comment c-block, but making it collapsible too. Check my signature for te link (it's the image).

Can't believe images from the wiki are blocked…

Wow…
What an idea.

Total support!

And it could also blend with the color of whatever block it is on.

They were removed because of confusion.

And, there is an easy workaround, so no support:
define REM (comment)

when gf clicked
REM [This is run when the program starts.]
go to x: (0) y: (0)
REM [This resets the sprite's position.]
if <not <[This is a C block comment. They aren't found in any other programming languages in existence.] = []>> then
forever
if <not <[This checks to see if the user is pressing space.] = []>> then
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
say [Hello!]
REM [This will say "Hello!" when the space key is pressed.]
else
say []
REM [This will say nothing when space isn't pressed.]
end
end
end
end
Sorry. No support. ^ Explains the workaround.
I liked it until i realized that some new scratchers would think that the comment block actually does something and be confused when there sprite doesn't “Jump like crazy” or whatever they put in there.
No support because of these, and I think the current comments work fine. These, however, take up room in the code, making the code messy. Current comments are not messy and do not take up room in the code. In fact, they are fully collapsable, so I don't see why people say they're messy. Besides, the current comment system works fine for the majority of Scratch, so there's no reason to fix something that's not broken.

The workaround isn't exactly commonplace. These blocks would help everyone and perhaps even truly become the norm, instead of the current system.

Support for the new version, only if it's not in comic sans like in the mockups
