Would anyone think that “Notifications for mentioning users via @” is rejected as per this post? https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/665/?page=1#post-4221

Also! By popular request, I've updated the list of rejected suggestions to include uncommon suggestions. You can view them at the bottom of the list. I'd really like some feedback on this list, please, if you have any. The more I look at the list, the more I think this wasn't a good idea.

I think so. Let’s say someone mentions you in a comment. Let’s say you are asking someone about another user, and they are using the @ sign. Bam. New notification for the other user. I don’t think it’s worth the time and effort to code it in.

6.5 Notifications for being mentioned in comments
Some users would like to be notified whenever someone mentions their username in a comment in the website. Although such an option was considered, it was not added due to the potential for spam.

Remove the 50 MB project size limit
Server space costs the Scratch Team money. At the same time, they want to be sure that Scratch is free for everybody. They cannot afford unlimited project space on the website with this goal in mind.

Ban a certain franchise
Generally the Scratch Team does not censor projects based off of a certain franchise unless a large number of inappropriate projects were made with the franchise. An example of a franchise with lots of inappropriate projects includes Five Nights at Freddy's; for more information, see #3.3 on this list. Of course, you should always report inappropriate projects of any kind.

quick question about 3.1

3.1 was edited from “Blacklisted chat projects with cloud variables” to “Chat projects with cloud variables” to reflect the new policy regarding cloud chats.

does this mean that if I wanted to I couldn't use, let's say, emoticons? or things like that across cloud? or are those still allowed?

Is the scratch team looking into the Page Colors (yknow liike dark mode) suggestions?

• Re-ordered the entries in subsections 1, 2, 6, and 8, to either reflect how often those suggestions are requested, or to sort them logically otherwise.
  
  
• Added some block prototypes for every suggestion in subsection 1.
  
  
• Added the suggestions “'Pointing towards sprite' boolean block” (1.3), “Official Scratch to EXE converter (2.5), and ”Improve or remove the extension policy" (6.7). These were initially in the list of rejected uncommon suggestions.
  
  
• Merged “Paid advertisements on Scratch” (a previously rejected uncommon suggestion) with “Money blocks” (1.4) since they are rejected for similar reasons.
  
  
• Merged “Digital currency” with “Scratch achievements” (7.7) since they are rejected for similar reasons, and “digital currency” fits better with “Scratch achievements” than with “money blocks.”
  
  
• Although I previously stated that I would, I chose not to add “'Recent' option in the search bar” or “Remove trackers from the website” (from the list of rejected uncommon suggestions), as I don't believe they are suggested very often. It's possible that I may add them in the future if needed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.6 3D Scratch
The block below, and others, could be used with a z-axis in the project stage to make it easier to create 3D projects. But, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. Adding 3D features would make the language more difficult for beginners to understand, and a 3D engine is not exactly the purpose of Scratch. There is a similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG. You can also try Alice; it is not exactly like Scratch, but has some similar features.

go to x: () y: () z: () :: motion

.

define x() y() z()

go to x: (x) y: (y)
set size to (z) %

Recently rejected: Remove “Disable comments”.
However, it's not commonly suggested, so it won't be added to the list.

There are a number of time-management and parental control programs that can perform this kind of task now, if desired. I don't think there is a strong need for it to be built-in to Scratch.

Also I've seen "Previous Costume Block" pop up a few times

Maybe you can reject the forever if block?
Basically, it's got a lot of no-supporters.
