A New Scratcher Rank

Discodude16

Hi! I am suggesting about a new rank. Right now, there is New Scratcher, Scratcher, and Scratch Team. I have thought about a new rank, called professional developer. You get this rank by making a game outside of scratch (Like gamemaker and clickteam fusion) and publishing it on something like steam, apple, etc. Also, in order to get this rank, you must have had to start with scratch, use it for a while (like a year or so) then publish a game to another site. Maybe, you can make something about how you can export your game to platforms such as windows desktop or HTML without the box around it. That is my suggestion, and it would be great if you guys add this.
(You can probably have people put the link to the game in a forum or a studio for proof.)

No support. Ranks are supposed to reflect you status within Scratch, not outside it. For being able to export projects, try phosphorus, and embed it with “Hide UI” selected.

Does something like Codeacademy or Chrome Experiments count? If yes support, if not, no support

No support as per above.

We should not rank each other. That would encourage people to show off about their rank. No support.

Before you suggest a new rank, I suggest you research the purpose of the pre-existing ranks. New scratcher is a rank that lowers the users capabilities until they understand scratch enough and the ST approve or them. So what does this allow/limit? How will then ST know of all these languages and wether or not the scratcher even uses these or are just trying to get a better sounding rank? I use Doombuilder on Hexen ACS for GZDOOM, does the ST know any of these? Does that mean I'm a professional developer? No, because I'm not professional.

No support, ranks are not for show-off.

this would cause jealousy among scratchers as some scratchers would be proffesional developers and some wouldn't. and how are we supposed to know whether they are telling the thruth about creating games outside of scratch?
one last thing

also if you want a pro status, go outside scratch. scratch is a stepping stone to “real” programming and a sandbox for experimentation.

No support as per the consensus.

No suport, plus the new scratcher status is for spam, not for Scratchers to show-off

No, because some scratchers might become jealous, and this might start some flame wars.
Some Scratchers may be banned for getting too jealous…
