really cool, but you should make a confirm so you make a secret code and you enter it to delete an acout and a thing to stop a computer from doing the same thing

Thanks,

If an account is deleted, will their name be available for registration?

Terrible updates. What's the point of deleting an account? It will only cause more drama when the scratch team receives reports of people who have decided to delete their account, but change their mind later on…

Furthermore, if the delete is indeed “permanent” then if someone is to gain unauthorized access into another account, they can delete the account, and the changes can't be undone, even if the scratch team is contacted.

The only positive aspect of this update is that when people say they are “leaving scratch” they literally must do so. However, if someone with a particularly popular name decides to delete their account, the name could be re-registered with a different user and cause ambiguity within the Scratch community.

Not possible, you can't use the name of another account, even if it has gotten deleted.

Arrivederci.

Happy December! We have a small batch of updates to share with you all :]

We've added the ability to delete your account from the Account Settings page. If you choose to delete your account: The account will be placed in a “scheduled for deletion” state that lasts approx. 48 hours. If you log in within that 48 hours, the account will no longer be scheduled for deletion. If you do not login, the account will be permanently deleted.

Other updates include:
Fixed broken link to ScratchED
Popups are no longer stuck behind editor in Firefox
Fixed studio add / remove confirmation failures
New 404 page (credit to the amazing @designerd)

Scratch On!

I typed this link to see the new 404 screen: http://scratch.mit.edu/project/100
It looks better than the previous 404 screen!
