It's the manager limit. Not the limit on the number of managers, but the limit on what they can do.

It's even worse with signature preview.

same with me
MANAGERS ARE POINTLESS NOW
next update: remove managers altogether if they are pointless

I hate the fact that only New Scrathers can create studios. It looks like that “More Restrictions for New Scratchers” topic from a couple of months ago really got to them.

One thing that I don't understand is how heavily managers are restricted. A manager limit was added to prevent studio vandalism, and then they weren't able to make edits to the studio anymore for the same reason. It seems to me like overkill for a relatively small problem. It would be better to educate users about the dangers of promoting managers, or slightly restricting managers instead of making such a drastic change. For example, making it so that managers gradually get permissions (eg. after a week, they can edit the title, after a month they can edit the thumbnail, and after two months edit the description), or limiting the number of characters that managers can change per day. The fact that these changes were made abruptly without community feedback is also very unfortunate.

I highly doubt the signature preview thing is intentional

The only thing studios will still be able to be used for without problems are collections of projects. Any studio that currently has a different purpose will need to find an alternative.

I think the popup that appears when promoting someone to a manager is enough to prevent studio raids, and it wouldn't harm studios in any way. I don't understand why they decided to go further and limit both the number of managers and what they can do.

I thought I'd like it, but my god, it's absolutely horrible. Like, why even be a manager anymore? It's useless. You can't edit descriptions, titles, or thumbnails- I get this helps solve the issue of users promoting people they don't trust, but this is not the answer-

I know right? And what was limiting managers to 40 for then?

1. Project
2. User

…that's it (unless they are willing to use the forums, and even then there's few collaboration).

yes some parts of my post were a little “unconstructive”, but they nuked my whole post.
