Option to turn off for remixes?

B99Productions

I think it would be a good idea to add an option to disable remixes on your projects like turning comments off does.

Sorry, your suggestion is rejected for this reason.

3.2 Disable remixing or censor minor remixes
One of the most important ideas of Scratch is the share aspect. Scratch is a website not only for displaying your work, but also for sharing it with others, and by posting your project on the Scratch website you agree to allow others to remix your work. You are not allowed to write “Do not remix this project” in the Notes and Credits of your project; you may get alerted for this, because it discourages remixing.

A remix of a project is allowed on Scratch, even if the remix only contains minor changes (this includes recolors). However, when you remix a project, you should put in the Notes and Credits what you changed. If you see a project that contains no noticeable changes, please use the Report button on it so the Scratch Team can take a look at it. This suggestion extends to “extremely minor remixes,” such as a remix of a game that gives you 2 points per second instead of 1. As long as the user explains what they changed about the project and gives proper credit, this is okay.

This is not really a good idea(sorry) because:
1. It was rejected by the Scratch Team and
2. Scratch is a place to share thoughts an ideas, and anyone should be able to remix something or it won't be one.

If you'd like, you can say they must give credit.

I'm not really active on forums anymore…

Yeah, remixing is very important to Scratch's model. We don't ever plan on allowing users to disable it.
