I don't want people to give me credits
It feels strange to me being in the notes and credits section of a project, so if someone uses part of my project, can I tell them not to give me credits,
Also will they get reported

Everyone is legally required to credit you when they use content that is made under you under the creative attributions 2.0 license. If someone does not credit you, report it.

Za-Chary has said before people have to give you credit even if you don't want it:
I would actually say it's not fine. Anyone who uses something that they did not create should give credit. It's good practice. If you say that credit is not required, but then someone else reports the project for using art without credit, that creator could get their project taken down. The Community Guidelines and Terms of Use require others to give credit for such assets.(source.) I would recommend having a look at that whole topic - it has other goods posts about why it's not allowed.

Whomst'd've summoned the ancient one
I've asked people not to credit me for assets before. As I learned the easy way, this isn't really allowed.

Although projects are under the CC BY-SA 2.0 license, it should be fine to also provide projects under a different license such as CC0, which doesn't require credit. In other words, legally speaking, it should be fine to allow parts of the project you made and own to be used without credit (eg. if you say it can be used under CC0 without credit).
However, the more important question is whether the Scratch Team allows it. They do allow telling people they can use something without credit, as evidenced by @griffpatch's platformer tutorial which has been up for a very long time. However, as Za-Chary said, if someone copies a project, doesn't give credit, and gets reported, the project could still be taken down even if the original project owner said it was fine.
In summary, it should be fine to say people don't need to give you credit, but there is no guarantee the Scratch Team will allow people to use your stuff without credit. I also seriously doubt you can make people not give you credit.

If everyone always gives credit when they reuse something, it results in less confusion and more consistency, so they should still give credit.

ok it's possible, on your projects ‘Notes’ , keep that you do not want credits. also giving credits are equal to respecting you and being Nice to you.
Thank-you, Have a nice day!
