In the forums, change "New to Scratch" to "New Scratcher"

EDawg2011

Did you know how “New to Scratch” appears instead of “New Scratcher” in a post a New Scratcher made? There's pretty much no point to this. It's confusing and it could throw off some users. Instead, make it say “New Scratcher” like it does on profiles.

Yep, this would probably be an easy fix as well. Support, this would reduce the amount of confusion scratchers may face

jvvg

Fun fact: on the Scratch 1.x forums it actually did say “New Scratcher” (on the 1.x site the Scratcher status only applied on the forums) so there is precedent for this.

I dont really see how anyone could get confused with “New Scratcher” and “New to Scratch”

Even if you don't confuse ‘New to Scratch’ with ‘New Scratcher’ maybe some others can

Also, Support

Support. my detail oriented brain CANNOT handle the inconsistency

I used to hate the detail but it was just a minor inconsistency.
Now, seeing it on every post I see it gives me a rage that makes me wanna rip off the LCD film over the majority of the left side of all screens I use Scratch on so I never have to see it again.
Case in Point: I ain't new to Scratch. I'm a New Scratcher who happens to have been on an old account.

I despise breakin it to you, but I'm pretty sure autocorrect consists of the words you use a lot.

I think “New to Scratch” and “New Scratcher” don't align exactly—I think I've seen Scratchers marked “New to Scratch” on the forums before, which is probably why it's different on the forums.

Support, this is good idea.

Support. I was confused when I first saw that.

“New Scratcher” makes more sense than “New to Scratch”

Every time I see it, it throws me off a bit lol
Support, I doubt it'd be hard to change.

Are you sure it isn't just a Mandela effect? I don't think I've seen that before other than it being a visual bug.

I don't see anything wrong with this.

Support, it doesn't make sense that it's different on the forums than on somebody's profile.

Support, I always strive for consistency.

I'm sure I've seen it before.

Did you check their profile to make sure and if so, can you send me a link or proof? It's probably just a false memory.
