Is there a way to delete “messages” that I do not use (that will not appear to me when I open the message list, when I create a project)? They always stay with me and just interfere.
post Scriptum. What does it take to become a veteran scraper?

First of all, I would post this is Questions About Scratch, since this place is for help with scripts.
Secondly, you can’t, as far as I’m aware. The only time a message will be deleted from you inbox is if it’s moderated: for example, if someone replied to your comment with something inappropriate, and then it got deleted a few days later, you wouldn’t see the comment in your mailbox.

1. I'm sorry, but you can't really do anything about the messages. Yes, they're indeed SUPER annoying, but you can't really do anything
2. How to be a scratcher? Share projects, comment on others projects, etc (this may take around 1-2 weeks to get the role)

Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant the messages that the characters convey during the game. You know what I mean?

Oh, that. Depends on what or how the dialogues are. Could you give me an example?

Here, for example here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/699811031/editor/
This is a game I created (now I'm in a different user because I have trouble getting into it). At first I created a “start game” message, then I added a game option for both single and two, and as a result I created two new messages (“start game for single”, “start game for two”) that actually replaced it. And now I do not need it and just every time I look for a message I have to scroll a longer list.
It's a relatively petty thing, but when you do a big project it can be quite annoying.
PS I use Google Translate, I hope you understand what I am writing …

Scratch automatically deletes messages if they aren't used in your scripts. If you remove all the blocks with that message, and then reload the webpage, the message should no longer exist.

But for me it does not always delete, report it as a bug?

Please ask this in Questions about scratch, Please click the close button below your submit button!

I did not understand which close button you are talking about

Small question: Aren't the unused Messages getting deleted when going out of a Project and going back in?

For me at least it's not like that, and that's the problem I'm talking about.
PS How do I design a signature?

By message, do you mean the ones used in the say block?
And to change your signature, go to this link.

Yes, the ones that are in the yellow patterns.

if by message you mean broadcasts, this is correct. if it isn't deleting automatically, make sure there are no “broadcast” or “when i receive” blocks for that broadcast. if it still wont go away just don't worry about it, as long as it doesnt have any side effects it doesnt matter.

How To Remove Messages On My Scratch

I have stuff in my inbox That I don't need anymore. please update scratch where you can delete unneeded messages while you're in your inbox.

Tip: wait a few months and old messages will be gone.

Guess I should use the signature for explaining myself rather than Skyrim quotes. So hi. I'm Gator.

Metal albums I like:
* Eschatology - Muryoku-P
* Portal of I - Ne Obliviscaris
* Ghost Reveries - Opeth
* Where Owls Know My Name - Rivers of Nihil

Recommend me more (please)

huh, in here it says
A signature is a small piece of text that is attached to your posts
but there arent any visible character limits in the signature editor. how long could it be then? lets look at some cool stuff and find out the limits of signatures

first, heres a really short script that will crash scratch
when
clicked
forever
add
list
to
list
we now click the green flag and… everythings freezing now, lets wait a bit more and yep, it crashed, how lame is that!
(i did not come up with this, i dont know who did, dont credit me for it)

how many blocks do you think is needed to get the full functionality of scratch?
according to this article on the scratch wiki, most blocks have a workaround using other blocks to mimic its function
one scratcher took this even further and made a project showcasing the all bare minimum blocks that still can mimic every functionality of scratch
(unfortunately, i have lost the link to that project, i will try to add it in asap)

can you detect if the user is in the editor?
not really, but under very specific information maybe
if the editor is opened from the “see inside” button, we can have a sprite with a costume positioned exactly at it's position to detect the user going in the editor
if the user opens the editor by modifying the url, we can use a “new scratcher detector” which will provide almost the same functionality
the flaw of these approach is it requires the user to start the project, if they don't do that, we can't do anything
