Allow Student Accounts to invite a limited amount of people to studios and create studios.

Allow Student Accounts to invite a limited amount of people to studios and create studios. If you limit them to sending like {fixed number} invites per hour they can't be used for spam but not letting them invite at all feels unfair and like this type of account is not equal to normal accounts.

Oops I'm sorry. Still, this is a little bit too exact as to me day works in I go to sleep and then the next day begins. Sorry, but is it really necessary to calculate the amount of hours?

Also the time of the forums differs from the time I have and so have a really hard time to guess when I posted something and therefore when 24 hours passed.

You don't need to be a stickler for this rule.

As long as someone isn't being egregious (eg, bumping every 2 minutes, or every time their topic is off the front page) then it likely is causing no harm and you don't need to do anything.

I feel like a limit of around 5 people invited per hour would be reasonable. However, we must consider that a bad actor with a teacher account can create as many students as they would like so the limit would be less relevant in this context.

Nevertheless, allowing a bit of wiggle room would likely go a long way here.

yes, that is true. Maybe 5 is a good number or something around there. I went with over 20 because lots of classes are this big and else you couldn't invite your classmates.

However I think the people who are best at choosing the exact limit will be ST.

You can bring up posts to the first page if they aren't in the first page too. Also, I feel like there's not much of a difference in this case, and almost a full day had passed, and I think it's a bit ridiculous to think it will always be exactly 24 hours.

Support. One of my account was a student account and l couldn't invite or make a studio. I think the rule is too harsh.

I protest that students must have acces to creating a Studio!

PixelCobra98

Cuz students are probably kids! And kids deserve to be free!

Outsmart!

GUYS THIS IDEA IS 455! If you know what i mean. I am on a student account cause i was introduced to scratch many years ago and i still use scratch on this account and there is absolutly no reason to limit this and my account is being destroyed. I could switch accounts but theni lose everything and i am kinda famous among my community. I cant invite anyone more in studios cause i invited many people to my studio to become big. It is easy to talk for you guys if you dont know whats the feeling like. Like you guys are some kind of corrupt politicians who are telling their people what to do.

Honestly, your case is a really important example of what this causes. Student accounts cannot work on studio activities including hosting a studio any more and you can't just switch your account after everything you did. I am glad that you shared this here and I feel like you are really just one of many who is suffering from this. Student accounts should not be treated like second class scratchers!

Support. Spammers are spreading to main accounts so it doesn't make sense.

This would be nice for allowing student accounts to have studios, without possibly allowing lots of spam potential.
