questions about the online detector block

hmm since the love amount reporter block was rejected for being abusive
shouldnt the online block also be rejected
people can do this:
if <online?::sensing> then
...//code to not let the player play the game
else
...//code to let the player play the game
end
HMMMMMMMM..

That is an entirely different thing because this would force you to disconnect wifi and lan cable and then play, not force you to like or fave or remix or something. The project creator gets nothing out of it but MAYBE this would be useful for example in a quiz game so you can't google to cheat the answers.

questions about the online detector block

The Online block is not rejected. The reason why it was added is because people made online detectors using the Translate extension, but that gives expensive server costs, so it was added to reduce costs.

questions about the online detector block

It is not an inherent problem with the <online ?> block. People could already do something similar with the (username) block, which is even more problematic because while you can connect/disconnect from the internet, you cannot change your username.

if <(length of (username)) = [3]> then
say [congratulations, you are one of the few users with 3-lettered usernames]
...
else
stop [all v]
end

Online? just means if you are connected to the internet.
Short answer: no.
