New sensing boolean block [Scratcher rank]
It would be nice to have blocks like this:
They are supposed to have pointy edges.
Oh, and I deleted the <user is Scratch Team?> block because there is no use for it.
<user is New Scratcher?>
<user is Scratcher?>

No support. This use would be abused and a lot of people with no hearts would just limit their projects to a specific rank, which wouldn't be fair.

if <user scratch team? :: sensing> then
do nothing
end
if <user scratcher? :: sensing> then
say [you stink] for (2) secs
end
That's an extreme.

Why would there need to be one for Scratch Team?
That doesn't really make sense to me… It seems like the only use would be giving them extra stuff and features, which is kinda unfair…

Not exactly. For New Scratchers or guests, it would be useful to use the block to run the program in non-cloud variable mode. I don't know about the Scratch Team.

OK. I'll delete that one.

To detect Scratcher vs New Scratcher, see project in my sig.

That's why i don't support.if <user scratch team? :: sensing> then
do nothing
end
if <user scratcher? :: sensing> then
say [you stink] for (2) secs
end
hey bro that's a pretty good meme xD!

If the purpose of this is to detect whether cloud data is active or not, wouldn't we just have a block like this?
Although this can be used to detect new scratchers, it is less likely to be used for that purpose.
I don't think I'd support the original ‘is user new scratcher?’ block though.
<is cloud available?> // category=sensing

no affense but I agree if I was a new scratcher there could be games that I could not play and well… scratch is for all No support. This use would be abused and a lot of people with no hearts would just limit their projects to a specific rank, which wouldn't be fair.

I absolutely agree. I think part of the point (correct me if I'm wrong) would be to detect whether or not the user can use cloud data, so they can quickly detect whether or not cloud is usable and just omit cloud features if not. If the purpose of this is to detect whether cloud data is active or not, wouldn't we just have a block like this?<is cloud available?> // category=sensing

Sorry, but I am a busy person. In other words, I don't have time to make a signature with emojis like this: links to projects like this: Check out this cool platformer I made!, or even blocks like these:
say [Anthan is awesome] for (2) secsYeah, I just don't have time. Wait a second…

Note (for reference) that the conversation has, at times, branched out to other topics, as noted in this copy of a post from this topic
This has been suggested numerous times – here are some examples:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/36295/
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/42497/
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/90260/
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/182401/
It's worth reading through the above discussions about it (in particular, why the more sensible thing to detect is cloud connection, since that's what really matters to a project…)No support, easy workaround.@mrbobbygreathead: Maybe you know this already – but for the benefit of others reading this…
The ‘workaround’ is not at all obvious (even though it does end up being simple). Most of the ways that people think up for detecting this using cloud variables will not work (because they don't really understand how cloudvars behave…)
AFAIA, this New Scratcher Detector project is the only possible way to do it (technically, it detects cloud connection status, and you can see that more clearly if you look at this cloud connection test project, which has no sprites and no scripts – doesn't even need running to see the result!)
If you see projects trying to detect New Scratcher a different way (e.g. by changing cloudvars, etc.), they are very unlikely to work.

No support because there is a workaround using cloud data.
We need you to tell the scratch team we want nested lists! (Also known as first class lists, multidimensional lists or just lists inside lists). Support now!

no support
if <user is new scratcher?::sensing> then
say [HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOUR A NOOB AND CAN'T PLAY!!!!!]
else

Support. For people saying how you could be mean, people can easily find loads of other ways to be mean…
There are plenty of other ways people can be mean anyway.
Also it might mess up multiplayer games if new scratchers accidentally corrupt the system.
if <(username) = [ someone's username ]> then
say [you stink]
end

Scratch team can masquerade as Scratchers anyway… if I recall…if <user scratch team? :: sensing> then
do nothing
end
if <user scratcher? :: sensing> then
say [you stink] for (2) secs
end
That's an extreme.
My signature is kumquat proof.
