PFP shape [circular profile picture]

supergamer10000

I think scratch should change all pfps to a circle shape. This is because most websites use a circle-shaped pfp instead of a square-shaped pfp. For some users, it might seem pointless but it's not hard to implement. Also, when have you seen a website use a square shaped pfp.

Ask yourself, if you were hacked and lost hours, upon hours of work, would you regret not having a strong password that only takes 5 minutes to make?

Is it time to update your password? Here are some tips to make a strong password:

Length: The longer the password, the stronger it is. A password that is at least 12 characters long.
Complexity: Combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make it harder to crack.
Uniqueness: Don't use easily guessable information like your name, address, or date of birth. Also, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Passphrases: A phrase made up of random words, numbers, and symbols, as these can be easier to remember but still secure.
Randomness: Use a random password generator to create a unique and unpredictable password.
Regular updates: Regularly change your passwords to stay ahead of potential security threats.

Remember, the goal is to create a password that is strong, unique, and difficult for others to guess.

I would estimate more than 40% of scratchers have passwords that are hard to guess by a human, but easy to guess by a computer. You never know if today would be the day you lose everything.

Even if just one person was saved from losing hours and hours of work, my mission is accomplished.

I think it would be easier to make custom profile pictures in the Scratch editor provided that they are square.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

Just because other websites do it doesn't mean that scratch should do it.

I feel as if that was as in-depth as it can get. Just because other websites make money does scratch have to? No. Just because other websites have ads does that mean Scratch doesnt have to? No. Square PFPs are just easier to make sure you include everything you want in your pfp.

This makes sense. Maybe there should be an option to make your image a circle shape? Someone might not want to make their image a circle shape.
Maybe there should be a dialog that appears when you change your PFP that asks you if you want the image to be square or rounded.

Some rules that aren't mentioned or clarified in the Community Guidelines or the Terms of Use:

'The Browser Extension/Userscript Policy' (why you can't say the name of a certain browser extension that lots of Scratchers use)
'“Art theft” and our remixing policy' (why people are allowed to recolour your OCs with credit)
'Shops, Points, and Pretend Currency Systems' (why you technically aren't allowed to use follows as a prize in contests)
'“Music Sharing” Projects' (why that Imagine Dragons music project from 2021 was taken down)
“Face Reveal” Projects (why you're not allowed to share your face on Scratch, even if someone wants to draw a portrait of you)
“Five Nights at Freddy's” (why that fangame you spent a month working on, complete with jumpscares and a traumatising backstory, is not allowed)

Yes, that is exactly what I'm talking about. I personally would prefer everyone's pfp as a circle but I'm just asking what the community thinks.

Hmm, interesting opinion. I get what you mean but why is a square a better option than a circle, I guess you can include more stuff in your pfp than circle. When I asked for a more in-death reason I meant why is a square a better option than a circle. Sorry for the inconvience.

Why should they do this? There is nothing bad about square profile pictures and nothing inherently better about circle profile pictures. If you really wanted a circle profile picture, you could add a border around it that makes it look like a circle profile picture.

Hmm, good idea. I might just test it later to see how it goes.

I like the square profile pictures better. (My opinion.) It is actually possible to have a circular profile picture already, if one uses a transparent PNG. Of course, this does not change the space for the profile picture; the space will still be a square.
I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate, but I will have to check later.
Maybe you should rename the topic PFP Shape, since this suggestion is not about size.

And I have done just that. It looks like a perfect circle

Why not make it an option in the account settings?

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

The Circular Profile Picture Is Used In Nearly All Software That Has Profile Pictures. Scratch Shouldn't Be An Exception.

Isn't that good of a reason, just because a bunch of different softwares have it doesn't mean Scratch should have it.
And, this could ruin a bunch of people's profile pictures, due to it being square right now.

Hmm, how about an option for both circular profile pictures and square profile pictures? Text mock-up since it takes to long for me to sign up for CubeUpload:

- Circular profile picture
