The Official List of Rejected Suggestions
Thanks for the suggestion — if I find anything good, I'll add it in, but we'd also like to avoid having the forum post get too long.Maybe do like a quote then the proof, it is just more understandable in my mind for like the first one do this :Anything in particular you would suggest? Yeah, doesn't look like you missed anything but maybe change the formatting of the proof
wait *looks*.,…..
Yeah you have the quote one just maybe find some for all of them

What is this timer > number workaround?
23: “When stop sign clicked” hat block
Some users want a block that looks like this, allowing users to click the stop sign to run a script:
when
stop
sign
clicked
However, the stop sign is designed to stop all the scripts in the project. With this block in place, more scripts will start when you want the project to stop, thus defeating the purpose of the stop sign. This could also be rather confusing for the “stop all” block. Regardless, there is a workaround that uses the “when (timer) > (number)” hat block.
What is this timer > number workaround?

#43:Um…because then you could set your limit to 17,000,000,000 and someone's device might not be able to run a project with that many clones. That's basically removing the clone limit by that point. The Scratch Team wants as many devices to run as many projects as possible.
Why don't you just set your own clone limits???
This only works if you don't need the timer for anything else in your project. Basically you use these two scripts: What is this timer > number workaround?
when green flag clicked
forever
reset timer
end
when [timer v] > (0.3)
do stuff
@Dhilly uses this in a lot of his projects. The bottom script will never run once the green flag is clicked, because the timer will always be reset. However, when you click the stop sign, the timer keeps going. That way you can effectively have something happen when the stop sign is clicked. Does that make sense?

I saw your comment, and yes I do think that this is much more organized! You should put this system instead, but also keep the numbers so that we can easily find the rejected suggestion that corresponds to a given number..

I saw a user saying that Paddle2See rejected a suggestion for a 16:9 aspect ratio. I'm not exactly sure how new Rejected Suggestions are added to the list, but maybe you could look into it and add 16:9 aspect ratio to the list? I can't find the topic anywhere.

Thanks! Yes, I had thought about keeping the numbers. I will keep numbers, but I don't think they'll be in the same order numerically as they are now. Sorry for not snipping here, but what post I could be snipping is quite vague..

It would be nice if we could find the post that says it was rejected. That way I can look more into it. I saw a user saying that Paddle2See rejected a suggestion for a 16:9 aspect ratio. I'm not exactly sure how new Rejected Suggestions are added to the list, but maybe you could look into it and add 16:9 aspect ratio to the list? I can't find the topic anywhere.

They said it, but didn't quite provide sufficient proof, I don't think it is rejected (yet). I saw a user saying that Paddle2See rejected a suggestion for a 16:9 aspect ratio. I'm not exactly sure how new Rejected Suggestions are added to the list, but maybe you could look into it and add 16:9 aspect ratio to the list? I can't find the topic anywhere.
They said it was rejected here… It would be nice if we could find the post that says it was rejected. That way I can look more into it.https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3475909/
But not much proof, other than word of mouth.
Also here is a little of what Paddle2See has said about it.

So far as I know, this suggestion hasn't been formally rejected.

Added a short explanation under Private Messaging (#2) explaining why links to private messaging websites like Discord are not allowed. The inspiration came from this clearly rejected suggestion:

44: Text-based coding in ScratchFor this one, you should quote Paddle here: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/MaximunPokeMaster/#comments-55378478
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or for teachers.
One amazing thing about block-based programming is that syntax errors largely do not exist, but text-based programming would indeed introduce syntax errors which younger users might not understand.
This suggestion extends to coding Scratch in any text, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using Javascript, for instance, then you can learn Javascript on your own; but it would have to be done outside of Scratch.

Ah, I remember this topic! I believe it's I saw a user saying that Paddle2See rejected a suggestion for a 16:9 aspect ratio. I'm not exactly sure how new Rejected Suggestions are added to the list, but maybe you could look into it and add 16:9 aspect ratio to the list? I can't find the topic anywhere.this. Wait, I remember topics from october? :O
Nevermind, just saw that it isn't technically rejected.

why would you not allow repeat until broadcast?

why would you not allow repeat until broadcast?Read the post a little more carefully. This block is rejected:
<[message v] received? :: events>
These blocks are NOT rejected:
repeat until [message v] received {} :: events
wait until [message v] received :: events

For the FNaF thing, you can put this above everything else:
The restriction is not for all FNaF projects. If you have a Five Nights at Freddy's project without any inappropriate/gory/scary-for-an-AVERAGE-eight-year-old content, then it won't be taken down/NFE'd. It's only that many Five Nights at Freddy's projects have gory content that isn't what Scratch wants.

Thanks for the idea, but I believe I've already covered this in my description of the suggestion: For the FNaF thing, you can put this above everything else:The restriction is not for all FNaF projects. If you have a Five Nights at Freddy's project without any inappropriate/gory/scary-for-an-AVERAGE-eight-year-old content, then it won't be taken down/NFE'd. It's only that many Five Nights at Freddy's projects have gory content that isn't what Scratch wants.
Be sure to report any project that does not follow the Community Guidelines, especially if it contains jumpscares or scary images.However, you are free to use Five Nights at Freddy's characters in your project as long as the project follows the Community Guidelines (one example is a Five Nights at Freddy's dress-up game).

My topic got rejected.
I will link it down soon as I need to Eat
quote Interesting idea! But we don't see it as being useful enough to the few advanced Scratchers that would find it handy to earn a place in the Scratch block vocabulary. One of the main goals of Scratch it to keep it easy to learn - and that means keeping the number of blocks as small possible. Also, it seems like there are work-arounds that aren't all that onerous. Thanks for the suggestion though.
