It says that an AI helper is NOT restricted. This may be harmful to people who use scratch on a school computer, and even more harmful to people who use scratch on a school computer full time, because website blockers on the device may block scratch for its use of AI content.

could the “pointing towards sprite” and “broadcast received” block be changed to use insertable dropdown:
<(message v) received? :: events>
<pointing towards (sprite v)? :: sensing>
Done for the “pointing towards sprite” block. But since the “message received” block is about receiving messages, it makes sense to make this consistent with the usual “when I receive message” block.

Thanks; I'm tempted not to add it to the list at the moment, unless someone can show that this is a popular suggestion.

I made a Portuguese Version but there are some topics missing because I haven't finished doing it yet.
Nice work! I'll add a link to the main list.

This appears to be a joke suggestion and so I don't need to add it to the list.

That would be a good thing to bring up in the topic dedicated to that suggestion: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/740793/

1.4 Social action reporter blocks
This block could be used, for example, to obtain the current number of loves of the project. However, project creators can easily use these blocks to prevent Scratchers from playing unless the project is given enough loves. If a user presses the love button on a project, it should be because they enjoyed the project, not because they are trying to reach some sort of goal. Social actions are not intended to be a way to interact with a Scratch project.

This suggestion extends to all social actions, including views, loves, favorites, remixes, comments, and followers.

(number of [loves v] :: sensing)

is
<loved?::sensing>

Yes- under the same logic.

Having
<loved?::sensing>
allows project creators to do things like
when green flag clicked
wait until <loved? ::sensing>
broadcast [play game v]
which violates Be Honest, and is using the loves feature as payment- something that is strictly not allowed.

What if they just changed it into an ONLINE app? and the ui had reactions when you clicked on certain things?

also the clone limit should probably be higher, not to like crash your pc but to 1,000 clones

when green flag clicked
forever
create clone of [ v]
end

Don't make suggestions on this topic, your 2nd idea is rejected (it is implemented in an unofficial scratch mod called turbowarp if you need it for a project). Create a new topic for any other suggestions

-snip-
the scratch team can't make an online app because you can't block people even if it was all in one

That was closed since it was not a specific suggestion, it was not rejected (there was no specific suggestion to reject)

That was rejected with a quote from TOLoRS, we do not need to be notified of rejections already on the list.

I think you should clarify in the social action block section that

<loved? :: sensing>
<favorited? :: sensing>

are rejected. not particularly neccasary but may be nice.
