adding a built in quote snip is rejected

Man, I wish they were more clear as to why it's impossible. There is a -forbidden- that can do that, although I know it's not the same as manually putting it into Scratch's base code

An evil kumquat ate my first username lol

Call me Sushi!

They/He/It/She in order of preference

A little part of me dies inside when someone says, “He/She” instead of just using they-

Try to refrain from saying, ‘No support’. It comes off as extremely negative. “The forums are for criticism! Don't post it you don't want it!” Agreed. But I never said that you should agree with everyone. No suggestion will ever be perfect
What sounds more constructive?
“No support, people would spam with it”
“This would lead to a lot of spam, since people can't get away from it. Not to mention, it might upset a few people with the way it's implemented”

In #1, you didn't help OP at all. You said you didn't like it, and why. Nothing else. Not even what was causing the issue of spam
In #2, you pointed out the flaws and the root causes of them. Flaws shouldn't always get a suggestion absolutely ignored

And simply supporting doesn't always help either. It's not a voting system, it's improving your ideas. There's going to be cons, there's going to be flaws, and that's the point of the suggestions. No suggestion is ever 100% perfect in any way
Here are some things you can look out for:
-Are there any flaws/cons that haven't been addressed or fixed?
-Is this idea fully flushed out? Or are there some questions you can ask?
-Are there any flaws that you know how to fix or do you know how to flush something out a bit more?
-Is there anyone else who is confused and needs some clarification?

If you don't have to do any of these, then you can move on!

Is a suggestion unable to be added because it's just impossible? Point out why and have them decide what to do next
But still, try not to say ‘no support’

Dang, beat me to it

Hello, this is my signature! it goes under every post I make and isn't part of it.

((( OwO :: #DC381F) :: #FFCC00)  :: #FFCC00)

This is Georgie the evil grapefruit. He is much larger, stronger, more nutritious and scarier than a kumquat. Donate your soul to him at my profile to help him gain power to overthrow the kumquats and claim his position as the best signature eater!

This is a social experiment, comment and you MIGHT get curator

10.1 Remove or decrease the 60 Second Rule
The “60 Second Rule” refers to the fact that Scratchers need to wait 60 seconds after posting in the forums before they can post again (120 seconds for New Scratchers). While this may seem annoying, it is extremely effective against spam. Moreover, it can require users to carefully think about what they have typed before posting. You generally do not have to wait for very long between forum posts anyway; it is just 60 seconds. Decreasing it is also rejected; that is, the number of seconds will not be changed.

Is anything that has a workaround rejected?

I specialize in animating fight collabs. I've entered the ‘decent’ stage.

that's not even a rejection on its own. Generally, such suggestions aren't rejected even if they aren't likely to be added.

trouble with clones? view my clone id toolbox! I also have built the bases of a tower defence game link here.
If someone on help with scripts is saying that something can't be done, they should be suspected of being a team limit grunt.

Can be done with a workaround:

when green flag clicked
set [message received? v] to [false]

when I receive [some message v]
set [message received? v] to [true]

repeat until <(message received?) = [true]>
do something
end
set [message received? v] to [false]

You can replace “true” and “false” with whatever values you like, as long as they are not the same and consistent across all of your code.

Please read the list of Officially Rejected Suggestions before posting a suggestion for Scratch! 100th post
This signature is designed to be as helpful as possible.
View all of the topics you've posted in:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/search/?action=show_user&show_as=topics
View all of your posts:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/search/?action=show_user&show_as=posts
Forum tips:
Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.
You can use the

 [code] and [/code]

tags to show other users how to format something that Scratch would otherwise format.
You can use the

 [color=color name or hexadecimal value here] and [/color]

tags to color text.

Yup, that is a correct workaround.

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. (Credits to ZaChary) My signature thankfully hasn't been eaten by an evil kumquat yet, so I hope it remains that way. My 100th post!! Be sure to follow after watching my animations!!
Please note that I may sometimes give out incorrect information.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I mean replace the Upload Images to Forums with Upload Images to Website and include the emoji thing.

Is “Upload images to the website” rejected, though? Or is it just in the contexts of forums and emojis?

I'm not aware of anything AI-related that is rejected.

Thanks. This one's probably too obvious to be added.

Malicondi wrote:

Certainly I was probably made aware of this around the time it was rejected — and then I refrained from adding it since it is not suggested often.

Thanks. Probably don't need to add this one now; not suggested very often.

BionicBoy554 wrote:

Generally, no. I seem to remember that the following blocks were rejected due to their easy workarounds:

<mouse up? :: sensing>

go to center :: motion

But I think there are other blocks that have relatively easy workarounds that have not been rejected. I don't have any examples in mind, though.

8.2 says “generally, Scratch Team members do not brag about the Scratch Team rank.” The “generally” implies that this happens, but rarely. Interesting.
