About
I am suggesting to add multiplayer blocks so that users could play as a new scratcher, without the need to wait. You also won't have to spent hours to add another player. You could instantly add others!

Requoting to say that is just as bad, as you simply spread it. At least snip your posts. Back on topic now.

Go use Linear Scratch, a port of BrainF that makes programming easier!

Large no support.

The most obvious thing is the extra stress this would put on the Scratch servers, which rely on donations alone in order to stay running. Multiplayer projects are usually small due to the restrictions that cloud variables have, and these projects are considered hard to make as they require a large skill set and dedication to make. What would be the point in throwing all that away? It would certainly decrease the value of multiplayer projects among the community.

Second, allowing New Scratchers to use the cloud variables was restricted for many reasons, so why should multiplayer blocks allow that? One of the things doing this prevents is botting. If a bunch of bots were allowed to join a cloud game, not only would said game become unplayable for everyone, but they could just sit there forever, ruining the project and wasting more space on the Scratch servers. Becoming a Scratcher proves that you're an actual person. So no, even though there are a lot of New Scratchers out there who are human and have to deal with this, you just can't take any chances when it comes to a website with servers that run off of donations.

Third, this would become the first step in just turning Scratch into a game engine, where you literally pretty much have all the work cut out for you. All you would have to do is use the pre-existing coding blocks to create the game you want in literally 5 seconds. That's not even coding anymore. It's flat-out lazy. Yes, Scratch is meant to be an introduction to coding. However, it is not meant to be a “create-the-game-for-you” platform, where there's not even a point in doing anything yourself.

Why is this a thing?

no support. you can already make a multiplayer game with griffpatch's tutorials. “ehuuhuhuhhhuhh it's too hrad to undestan!!” if you don't want to understand then just copy the code.
edit : + scratch servers are already dying so adding more stress to it will make scratch even slower than it already is

Support! Multiplayer should be more easier to do because it is really important, also for people that are not good.

The thing about making a multiplayer game is that you have to really experiment and learn off of mistakes and it's a lot of fun, but with these blocks you could take that fun and turn it into a few seconds of work. While I like the idea, if we just turn a hard task into something easy, we'll never learn and get better.

Exactly. No support. + it could be hard to moderate players. cuz one of them could be doing/has/making something inappropriate.

just code it so its not possible.

that would be physically impossible, if that was possible, this website would be perfect, and the report button wouldnt need to exist

First of all: no algorithm is perfect, and there would always be problems no matter what, if the filterbot was perfect, no workarounds would exist, you would never get false mutes, and nobody would ever be cyberbullied

Second of all: the defintion of “inappropriate” is remarkably vague, and there is no way a computer algorithm could find something inappropriate all of the time, and without error or bias.

Third of all: scratch is a coding site right? so you probably know basic coding right? HOW WOULD YOU EVEN GO ABOUT CODING THIS???!!!!
seriously, how would this work, how would it find out whats inappropriate, like seriously

Big Brother sees all, watch what you think

In the first age, in the first post, when the reports first submitted, one stood. Burned by the embers of Dupes, his soul blistered by the fires of Forums and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred, he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the Suggestions seeking vengeance against the dupers who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the ST, and those that tasted the bite of his keyboard named him… the Forum Dweller.

how about one mini server per game so 100s of players can play and no disconnect penalty
