They were a pretty cool feature.

The discussion about the project generator things reminded me of them.
I remember that as well — but I think I also remember them not working for me.

Was it removed due to it being buggy or something?

I don't know, sorry. That predates me joining the Scratch Team — and evidently it wasn't a feature that a lot of us missed.

Maybe it was replaced by the backpack?

Possibly.

I wonder if the Scratch developers have been or ever will be interested in re-adding this… Probably not though.

(Because like you said, “evidently it wasn't a feature that a lot of us missed.”)

Hi! In the one about adding new ranks, it says the only ranks are new scratcher, scratcher and scratch team. What about teacher accounts . I have also seen somebody called forum moderator.

1. That wasn't really a suggestion, more of a statement.
2. In response to the OP, you are right about that, but teacher accounts rarely actually use Scratch other than to teach it to their students. Also, it basically counts as ‘Scratcher’. A forum moderator is a type of job you can get in the ST.

I moved!

8.9 Notification when someone unfollows you
This sort of feature could create a lot of drama within the Scratch community. Those who are concerned about follower count may get angry at another user for unfollowing them. The Scratch Team believes that users should be able to follow or unfollow anyone they want without feeling guilty about it, especially as their interests change. Remember that Scratch is not about the number of followers; it's about having fun!

Maybe you could include the website created by @JuegoStrower about checking your unfollowers?
This is not something I am willing to include because I do not support the ability to see who unfollowed you.
Additionally, Chrome stops me from getting there saying that site is not safe.

Same thing happened to me.

I'm getting more and more convinced to add it to the list by the second… it could be a good idea — and would give me an excuse to update some other things on the list.

I'll probably add it — precisely because it was suggested a few times and it is apparently rejected for a reason that a lot of us hadn't considered before. Unless there are any strong feelings against me adding it?

It mentioned reconsidering the removal of the block, which is exactly what “revive the forever if block” is about.

Go for it if that is what you wish. By the way, as you're making updates, I feel as though the Scratch for video game consoles is very brief. I would suggest you to add on to it a bit more. I feel as though many users may not understand why it's rejected.

I feel like we should add a dark mode! I've heard many Scratchers complain that the white screen “hurts their eyes” for some reason. It never hurts my eyes, but I think a dark mode would be pretty cool!

This is a duplicate, but please remember not to suggest things in other topics. That way, users can find them easier, and so that the topic can stay on-topic.

Cool, I will refer to this when I want to make a suggestion.

I think that the “removing the 60 second rule” should also include “changing the 60 second rule”. I made a suggestion about that and it kinda went downhill and… yeah.

And perhaps you could merge “reset the editor to look like older versions of Scratch” and “revert back to older versions of Scratch”? They are very similar, and they both have similar points.

Do you have a link? I'm not sure if that particular suggestion was rejected, but I could look into it.

The reason they are separate is to highlight the fact that they are different suggestions. There's already been quite a lot of confusion on what precisely these suggestions mean. I think keeping them separate would be a bit better, but I'll take another look.
