However, Alerts (usually warnings) are highlighted blue. Blue has a positive connotation, so it sends a mixed message.

Simply put, Alerts should be color coded to match the message it connotes with. Alerts about a warning issued should be in a red box, while other alerts like becoming front-page curator should be in a blue box.

Red for warnings from the ST, grey for messages from the ST, blue for comments, green for studio invites/activity, orange for forums. And as a bonus, yellow for front pages, features, loves, faves, etc.

Support. Also, what about purple (mix of blue and red) when it's a mixed message?

Color coded alerts

I agree about color coded alerts. It's so boring, just a plain blue alert. We should have color coded alerts. They should be sorted to what the alert is about. Here is my list idea:


Red: Being disrespectful
Orange: Say mean stuff about a project
Yellow: Not giving credits to the creator of a project you remixed
Green: Telling you phone number, email address, or tell your real name
Blue: Trick the community
Purple: Making a mean project
Pink: Spam
Aqua: gossip about someone
Turquoise: Something on your profile is innapropreate or your username or icon is innapropreate
Gray: An innapropreate studio
Black: (white words) Reporting a project and no problems
White: (with black border) Copying scripts from a different project without giving credits

There's no reason to make it that complicated/specific.

Support! I think it could maybe more specific than
if <[red]=(color)> then
set [good, bad v] to [bad]
end
if <[blue]=(color)> then
set [good, bad v] to [good]
end
I like explaining with scratchblocks.

No support.
Plus, why do you need color coded alerts? (You can read, right?)

Hmm, support but maybe make it a pink instead of a red. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but red irritates my eyes.

Support for my ideas:

  • Alerts about breaking the guidelines
  • Alerts which are neutral messages from ST
  • Alerts which signal curatorship

Support. This would be good news for people with dyslexia, but what about color-blind people?
