Alright…

This post is so funny.

It deserves to be seen more, even if it is closed now.

This post is now linked at the bottom of my signature, where it deserves to be.

Original post:
The name scratch is too violent, because even though its meant to mean “scratching the disks” it also means “i'm gonna scratch u.” Because of this, I suggest renaming Scratch to Slatch==. This makes the name less controversial.

go to slatch.mit.edu

Oh god not this again

No, nuclear antimatter warhead of doom would be a better name. It takes care of the violence.

This is a consider only you have. As a person who has been scratched (like a lot, enough for it to be considered bullying) i am against this change.

No, this is actually something others have said (even if it was trolling) LOL
Also, I think it is clear what is meant by the word “Scratch”, and people won't start Scratching others just because they see the word.

troll?

I was just saying that in case this was a joke post. This was rejected before though.

Whilst I do and always will prefer the name of “Scoober”, at least “slatch” gets rid of all the violent connotations with the Scratch name. Good job!

Also I didn't think about how it could violent the disks. In my religion, all objects have souls and harm can be harm to all objects.

What does Slatch mean? How would it fit into the Scratch “room”? I'm so curious!

Probably nothing. It just looks like the name ‘Scratch’, with a replaced letter.
Also this is already rejected, after being suggested like 5 times already.

The name for Scratch came from DJ's that “Scratch” records with the needle to make new beats. In the same way, you can use Scratch to take various media and make something new from it. It's not violent at all

We actually don't get very many complaints about Scratch as a name - none that I can recall. And we have a lot of time and money tied up in Scratch as a brand at this point. So let's please stop with the renaming suggestions.

Closed for being a trollpost.
