But pulling is optional… you must click a button to do a pull, it's like GitHub

But does the person who made the remix know that their project is being pulled? Are they notified? Can the original project creator pull any remix of their projects they want without the consent of the people who made them?

Of course, this is assuming that a famous scratcher will remix the project of a less popular scratcher who is likely very young and inexperienced with their main account.

Not only do famous scratchers rarely have a reason to remix a project made by a less popular, younger, and inexperienced scratcher, most of the time they do these things with their alts.

While this could be a valid problem for everyone else, I don't think famous scratchers have much to worry about.

What you're implying is that both collaborators will need to give consent, which I discussed the problems of. But honestly, if you don't get 300+ mail each day, you should be fine.

Most likely. On Git/GitHub, people can pull changes from branches and forks and the main repo owner doesn't even have to be notified. It wouldn't really make a difference

They could get a notification like remixing, but the licence allows it anyways.

EDIT: I probably misread something, but what if the project exceeds memory limit? Will you just get a popup telling you that you cannot pull the changes?

The remix couldn't do that either, so this situation wouldn't exist. Thanks for the bump.

no problem

There’s only one thing I could think of that could make me not support. This wouldn’t go well with contests. Someone could host a contest, made purely to pull the best entry to their project, and they would get credit for it despite not making anything. And don’t tell me it’s allowed because of Creative Commons. Copying a project and not making anything new to it, even if you give credit, is not allowed. If you find a solution to this, I’ll support. But for now…

No support

No support

Well, it could check if the project completely replaced your code and not allow pulling in that case. And you can always just remix a project without changing it, just report…

It would try to merge the changes. If you have sprite A and a remix has sprite B, you will have both.

Will the remix get deleted when the original owner has pulled the changes? Because exact copies are against the Guidelines.

Support. Collabs are so hard

Maybe save a copy each time it is pulled
