Give The Option To Disable Remixes

Remixes are an open invite to steal code without giving credit, if you are creating a game that will use player accounts, they become extremely easy to access, all you have to do is remix the project and search through the code until you come across passwords. This is limiting the Scratch community and not letting us advance onto next level games and other advanced projects. Remixes put all your hard coding work up for free grabs, what you spent half a year doing someone else can copy, paste, and claim it as their own in less than a day. The option to disable remixing should be a right to all coders.

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. This suggestion extends to the ability to require permission to remix a project, as you have already given permission to others to use your creations by sharing a project on Scratch; for more information, see this post.
In fact, discouraging remixing is already against the community guidelines.

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.

No. Just report the user who remixed to steal code/recolor. And disabling “See- Inside”, and "Disable remixing" was rejected.

Instead of just sharing the rejection quote, I'll turn.
Exact copies are already not allowed, already a report option. And in fact, if you've'nt realized, all your projects once shared will be licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0; Which, has allowance for remixing, and the ST has decided to not allow discouragement of remixes, incase you haven't seen The Community Guidelines you agreed to when making an account:

I'm out of here now.
