More username blocks

Yes, it's pretty much rejected. And the list blocks are not that useful.

There are more than 57 million users on Scratch. Lists can't be that long. And as others have said, the follower-related blocks are rejected.

And it's completely useless. You get a string. Not a list. At least you can't use it as a list.

Unless Snap!-style first class lists get added to Scratch.

I think all of the “follows” ones are rejected:

1.4 Social action reporter blocks
This block could be used to obtain the current number of loves, favorites, or views of the project. Similar blocks could return the number of loves or followers that the user or creator has. But, project creators can easily use these blocks to prevent Scratchers from playing unless the project is given enough loves, favorites, and the like. These blocks could also make people think that getting these social actions are important, or that Scratch is about fame. In reality, if a user presses the love button on a project, it should be because they enjoyed the project, not because they are trying to reach some sort of goal.

This suggestion extends to all social actions, including views, loves, favorites, remixes, comments, and followers.
(number of [loves v] :: sensing)

Also, aren't there thousands of users on Scratch? This will be a very long list.

If this is rejected, then how come this topic is still open?

What if someone did

<(list of all followers of [project creator] ::list) contains (username) ?>

Or:

<(username) follows [project creator]? ::list>

I'm guessing the Scratch Team didn't take notice of it, so just never did.

<[] is a username::sensing>

Is the only block that isn't rejected or confusing. This one's ambiguous though. Does it say if it's a username or if it's a used username?

Would it report true if the username is deleted or banned?

Why wouldn't it? You can't make new account with those usernames and you can check ScratchStats or just open their Studios.
