Image Library for comments

starlightsparker

THIS SUGGESTION IS FOR COMMENTS NOT FORUM POSTS. AND THESE ARE IMAGES, NOT EMOJIS
So i got. an idea.
What if we had images for comments? But then I realized, people would probably spam and upload not-appropriate images with like stuff like bad words, since comments are much more accessible unlike Forums.
So then, what if there was an Image Library for comments? These would be Images uploaded by the ST, they could be images of silly little memes with scratch characters and stuff, and also some “stickers” which would be just images that are transparent backgrounds. And maybe some animated Images too. So in comments people could use these images from the Image Library. There would be a rule for only one Image per comment to prevent spam though.

All of these Images will be uploaded BY ST so there’s 0 chance of inappropriate images because people will have to choose from a library of scratch’s available images. Also images will take up 350 out of 500 characters

Also maybe we could occasionally have Image contests in Forums so that people can submit their art or images to be in the image library?

So what do you guys think?
sorry if this is a dupe!

Answer:
Honestly that’s not a big issue. If there’s chatting on a website, some people will certainly use it as a chatting platform at times and that’s inevitable

But not everyone does that and I don’t think Images will make it much worse. No matter what, scratch’s actual idea (an educational coding platform) can’t really fade away.

Answer: Honestly, image spam isnt much different then text spam, just because its mildly larger does not mean its that worse. Besides, most of scratch is friendly so i dont expect much spam

so is it like you upload stuff from cubeupload (or something else) or you have a limited selection of images, like scratch emojis but bigger, to choose from?

Answer: it is a limited selection of images

Why isn’t anyone seeing this-

That’s a really good idea! This could make Scratch really fun in the comments.

Support, I think that it would make the forums much more lively and fun to use, only problem is that it could turn them into a chat place.

Thanks, that makes sense. FULL SUPPORT

Maybe only one image would be allowed per post?

ACSII art is banned regardless of how many ACSII artworks are in the post

Yes, but I’m referring to this suggestion, not ACSII.

Yes, but I’m referring to this suggestion, not ACSII.

the point is that it's spam regardless of the number images.

What do you mean? You can’t spam images if you can only use one Image in a comment. Did you even read the suggestion, I already said it’s 1 image per comment.

And also, maybe images can’t be in replies and only comments? Idk

I mean spam as in unconstructive posts serving only to drown out constructive ones.

Spamming images is like spamming words but bigger, so it won't be much worse. Simply report it if you see spam.

please stop quote piling

The conclusion to the above discussion is that there’s no difference between spamming images and spamming text. If there’s spam, report it. Simple.

yes but image spam would be a significantly larger block of text
although i do like this idea because cubeupload is blocked for me and i like using images
