Locked Scripts

When 2.0 comes out everyone is going to be experimenting with the new cloud variables and making high score leader boards and all that stuff. But what if someone cheats?

Think about it: all someone has to do is download the project, alter the scripts and with that, they are at the top of the leader board with a score of 999999999999999999999.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I was thinking of locking scripts. So no one can move them but the creator of the project. That way no one can change important scripts. But what happens if the person wants to remix and can't move anything around?

When you "look inside" a project that's not yours, all cloud variables are unchanged in the real project.

Re: Locked Scripts

Scratch is all about remixing, so no. Anyway, cloud variables go with each remix of a project, not the original one, so it's not a problem.
