Hello! I'm Mrcakeyman89. (Scratcher, Unofficial Forum Helper, Game Maker and Animator.)

I've answered a LOT of questions and suggestions about the new studio update. Here are a couple i found in the front TWO pages at the time of writing this.

#1. Neutrodivergent scratchers have a hard time with the studio update.
#2. The invite followers button was removed. some people have a LOT of followers. do you really think we all want to spend an hour inviting followers by their NAMES?
#3. Managers can't manage studios. what's the point of making someone a manager, if they can't help you MANAGE?
#4. The comment limit. i have an 150 followers studio, and what if someone makes a submition, but then a bunch of OTHER people make a submtion, so much, that it deletes that comment?
and i'm pretty sure there's more problems! but there are some bright sides with the studio update.
the browse projects, and the new look. but that's only 2 compared to 4 problems.

Hi everyone! I'm writing this topic for ask to restore “Followers” bar in the Curators tab in the galleries. I think ST removed this without reason, but I think that “Followers” bar is a good feature for Scratch website. Thanks!

1) When the owner of the studio promotes someone
the owner of the studio would get a message asking if
scratch should give the new manager permission to change
the description and the thumbnail so the manager would give
the permission to only those who can be trusted .

2) i think you should give the normal option of invite your followers
by clicking on their icon to a studio to the studios
These were my suggestions

I would like to have customizable permission settings for studio curators and managers.

The reason I say this is I have been manager of multiple studios where there are many managers, and some troll will come along, as to join, and then they remove all the curators and managers, delete as many projects as they have time to do, and then change the title and image so people have a really hard time figuring out what happened to the studio.

Allow me to outline my idea for how this would work.

List of various permissions that pertain to studios, organized into levels of power:
0. The basics (even non-curators have these, they cannot be taken away) remove their own projects from the studio, view
1. Comment
2. Add their projects to the studio
3. Invite scratchers to curate
4. Remove other peoples' projects from the studio
5. Promote people from curator to manager
6. Remove curators from the studio
7. Edit the studio image
8. Demote managers to curators
9. Edit the studio title
10. Edit the studio description
11. Change permissions of specific managers and curators
12. Change the default permission settings for the studio for manager, curator, and non-curator

A manager job is to manage the studio. Not just to invite, promote, and delete curators. But apparently the studio update doesn’t think so. In my opinion if the ST isn’t going to change anything back, maybe they could add one more thing. Co-Owners would have all the abilities as the owner except for deleting the studio. The Co-Owners would still contribute to the manager limit, because even I see a bit of sense in that. Any Owner or a Co-Owner would be able to promote a manager to a Co-Owner, and any Co-Owner could be turned back into a manager. If the owner of the studio was going to leave scratch, then they could promote a Co-Owner into the Owner, who has all the abilities as a Co-Owner, can delete the studio (hopefully they don’t do it) and appear at the top of the manager list as the Owner.
Sometimes you don’t know if you can trust some managers with the description but need them for adding people, and stuff like that. This would help that and also help the manager problem with the new update.

The new https://scratch.mit.edu/ studio update is really bothering me. The thing that is most bothering me, is 40 managers at most

And there were a lot more in QaS that I decided not to put up. I'd like to remind everyone who has a question about the Studio Updates to look at this list of things that have already been suggested so as to not make a dupe. If you know of another suggestion about the studio update that has been done (that's not on this list) please let me know.

• Changing the 40 manager limit
  
• Allowing managers to edit the description, thumbnail, and title of a studio
  
• Add a “Demote” button
  
• Allow people to add their followers to a studio
  
• Make on/off buttons, including: Allow managers to change description, allow managers to change thumbnail, allow managers to change title, comment, invite people to curate, remove projects, add projects, demote managers, and change permissions.
  
• Add new catagory of user: Co-Owner
  
• Change the “see more replies” back to the specific number
  
• Add an ability to switch between updated studios and previous update studio versions
  
• Search bar for studios (search for managers, curators, projects, etc.)
  
• Allow owner to say if they want a manager to be able to do specific things (in the permissions suggestion i listed above) when they promote them.
  
• Make the UI smaller for pc/chromebook users
  
• Let new scratchers create studios
  

Again, if you're gonna suggest anything in this list, please don't. The ST has already seen it and it would be a duplicate.

I hope this post isn't counted as spam, i didn't mean for it to be.

Hope this Helps!

Scratch On!

Bump. This deserves to be pinned.

Unless it wasn't. xD

Also by pinned do you mean stickied?

From what I understand, ST isn't looking for guides or directories in any forum at the moment, reporting to be closed(?) I think we could all just ask people to go to one forum instead of creating a guide/directory.

Probably yes

Thanks for making this topic.

Reported to be sticked!

This is helpful, maybe add “make the UI smaller for pc/chromebook users” to the list lol

Maybe add the links to the topics? I'll see if I can find some and edit this post, too.

So i don't think you should report it to be stickied if people should be reporting it to be closed.

Yeah this isn't a guide this is just a calling.

LOL, guides, directories, calling, they're all the same thing. Please stop bumping and close this. Still waiting for mod to close…

Duplicate of this. Please continue the discussion there.
