I think this feature would be very nice to have; line spacing keeps comments organized and allows things like lists or patch notes to exist.
Many popular platforms do this, i.e Reddit, YouTube, Steam, etc

Another example, but on a larger scale:

With line spacing:
Bugfixes:
• Fixed after a blackout small miners flicker into other building types
• Fixed resource tab, tech tree and machines menu being layered in front of the tutorial
• Fixed some skill tree arrows weren't acting as intended
• Fixed power grid counters using the Serif font instead of Korean
• Fixed minor issue of miner lights flickering when it is nonpowered
• Fixed a very rare bug where a Car's fuel counters will glitch out and turn white
• Fixed planet identifier build# list wasn't deleting. This doesn't fix any bugs on it's own but makes the game more stable as that was not intended.

I think it is in there to prevent spam. Notice how the no-spacing post takes up less room (and is less useful to spam, therefore).

What if there was limit to the length, say 20 lines-maximum?

It's easy to imagine this being exploited for spam. Even if we consider measures like line height limits to prevent spam abuse,
it will ultimately be applied to spam through rapid-fire input.

I really want the function to add line breaks, but it will likely be exploited for spam. (・n・　)

I think it is to prevent spam. If you want to make it look that way, use (censored by poster - please don't name browser extensions). But keep in mind it will not show to everyone.

what if only the poster of the project could use it? who cares if they spam their own project?

Support, nice solution!

On the context of spam, couldn't you also theoretically spam the Scratch forums with line breaks? It doesn't seem like there is a character limit. Or are the forums more strictly moderated?

Nice, I think this is the best solution.

forums have more moderation i would say; lots of scratch team members are usually online on forums, while they wont be on some niche project or studio.

There's an easy solution. Limit the number of rows.
TikTok bios limit that, so you can't make it excessively long.
I'd put the limit at about 8 rows. Realistically, without special characters, you'll only reach five with the character limit.

What about limiting rows based on status?
So something like this:

New scratcher = 5 rows
Scratcher = 8 rows
Developer of project = 50 rows
ST member = ∞ rows

This goes hard (I agree)
