By the way, in the topic, a user added a bunch of rumors in there. Are these true? I have a feeling that they were designed to mess with our heads.

2.3 Set the editor to look like older versions of Scratch
Some users prefer the look and feel of the Scratch 2.0 editor, and have suggested that the editor look like Scratch 2.0, but still run off of HTML5 like Scratch 3.0 does. However, this would be more complicated for educational and documentation purposes. It could be confusing if someone is trying to learn Scratch from someone who is using a completely different layout of the editor than them.

In addition, the Scratch Team changed the design for a reason: to make it easier, more intuitive, and friendlier for newcomers to use. If you dislike the Scratch 3.0 editor, you can still download the Scratch 1.4 or Scratch 2.0 offline editors.

However, the Scratch Team is still considering adding options to change the block size inside the editor, an option to switch the side of the screen the stage is on, and an option for a dark mode interface. It may be some time, though, before these ideas are implemented; please be patient.

2.4 Revert back to older versions of Scratch
Scratch has to update sometimes in order to accommodate for certain changes. In particular, an online editor that ran off of Adobe Flash (rather than Java) was added in Scratch 2.0, and Scratch 3.0 was created for tablet support and in anticipation of the discontinuation of Flash. Changing the editor back to these older versions of Scratch would not only undo years of hard work by the Scratch Team, but also might not work online anymore. If you wish, you can download the Scratch 1.4 and Scratch 2.0 offline editors. However, the Scratch Team is likely no longer concerned with fixing any bugs with these offline editors.

The Scratch Team is still working on bug fixes, new features, and other improvements on Scratch 3.0. The new interface was created in such a way that it is easy for the Scratch Team to make new updates, and they are indeed continuously making new updates (although these updates and bug fixes take much longer to implement than you think). Don't worry, Scratch 3.0 is far from finished!

EDIT 2: Never mind, the quotes were deleted as well. I've typically assumed rumors to be false rather than true until given proper evidence, but after the user being blocked, and the posts getting removed from all other users, that got me thinking. Is this true?

Well, if rumors are false, then we might remove them because they are spreading misinformation. The Community Guidelines state that you should “Be honest,” and spreading rumors is not being honest. I don't know what rumors you are referring to, but if they were removed, then it's likely because they were false rumors intended to trick people.

Technically, I don't think so, although I don't understand why anyone would want to go back to a paint editor with less capabilities. There is a suggestion here about an option to go back to the old paint editor — I suggest continuing the discussion there.

I think you should add a “Blocks or Kits that Make Projects for you” to the The Official List of Rejected Suggestions because of the Forest button https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/405264/ , the Video Game block https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/405646/ and the FNAF game kit https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/390266/ where they insisted on breaking the slogan to make projects with a few clicks. These were all made in between 2 days and now they're getting more common. These also were all rejected.

I'll add another one to your list: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/405661/

Something seems fishy about these users, though.

Wait a second, wait a second, this is all turning into gossip at this point. Let's keep the topic on track, here. I'm going to remove any posts that gossip about other Scratchers.

We should add group project in scratch it would be way easier for collabs

2.1 Adding users to work on projects
This would be difficult to moderate not only due to technological limitations, but also because it could lead to private messaging; for more information, see #7.1 on this list. This suggestion includes live editing (similar to Google Docs) and other forms of private collaboration. If you would like to work on a project with another Scratcher, you can remix each others' projects.

The Scratch Team is interested in making some form of collaboration on Scratch. However, until the problems regarding moderation issues are addressed, this suggestion will likely not be implemented anytime soon. One potential solution is a turn-based collaboration system for shared projects, which is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

@Za-Chary, any idea about what happened to this suggestion? It seems like it was closed due to blockspam.

I do not know why that was closed. I presume it was closed for blockspam, but asking @Paddle2See would be good to serve as confirmation as whether it was rejected.

I remember in the 1.0 editor there were sprites that came with some scripts in them to help people get inspiration for their projects (if I recall correctly one of them was an ant and it had a script that makes them jitter around.)

They were a pretty cool feature.

The discussion about the project generator things reminded me of them.
