Usernames + Could variables..
When a Scratcher creates an account, the username selection has a built in language filter, correct?
If that's the case, I propose we have the ability to add usernames to cloud variables. I know that The Scratch Team is trying to come up with a way to moderate inappropriate language in cloud data, which is why they don't support strings yet, but I think I speak for a good majority of scratchers when I say that 75% or more of the general reasons we'd ever want to add strings to cloud variables is to keep track of usernames.
So I think, in the mean time while string data is being worked on, we should have the ability to add usernames to cloud data. This would of course mean that the data would have manipulation restrictions, but I'm sure that wouldn't take away from much of the purpose.
Thoughts?
