There's nothing wrong with chain remixes.

There's nothing wrong with art projects, even if they're only one picture.

Chain remixes: Annoying. Add yourself doing this-a-ma-jig. Add yourself doing that. BORING

Art projects: I have no problem with, unless they clutter up the front page. Because Scratch is for programming, not art. If you want to post art, then go to Deviantart and make an account. And since Scratch is for programming, non-programming stuff should NOT get on the front page.

Chain remixes: A fun past time. You may not like them, but other people do.

Art projects: I am not allowed to join dA, so Scratch is where I go. (Besides Wave and sending art emails to my friends.) If you don't like them, ignore them.

But rdococ IS one of the spammers

yes there is.

If you don't like them, ignore them. Simple. You don't have to try to get the Scratch Team ban them from the site.

There's no reason to ban them. It's just really annoying to see people posting nothing but a picture and getting on the front page for it.

What? Please don't be mean.

*sigh* Just look above this (the quote) post.

2 different fights going on in this topic. Only Half of them are on topic though.

But I agree with webgal15, if you don't like the project just ignore it, not try to get the project type banned.

You might have been elected if you hadn't plagiarized a speech instead of taking 5 minutes to make your own...

http://2007forever.webs.com/ just in case anyone was interested, i created a website where people can post their projects and art. it is meant to be the community that scratch was like in 2007.  note:  you don't have to have been from 2007 to join you can join from any time.  also in order to post games you have to post them on the scratch site first. (to get the embed code)  try out the site, you might find you enjoy it
also i need moderators for it.

Now, on to more serious matters.. What should I make a chain project about? 

Add yourself:

-Being eaten by a raptor
-Being eaten by a T-Rex
-Being eaten by a robot
-Being eaten by a Spinosaurus

Webgal, I think you're getting too defensive and missing the point people are trying to make.

Imagine this:
You spend a long time (Let's say several weeks or so) programming a project. You tweak it, test and continually improve it until you have something you are extremely proud of.
Then, when you upload it to the Scratch website, it goes almost unnoticed. It's been kept from the spaces it really deserves by pictures drawn in the Scratch paint editor which could have been drawn in approximately 10 minutes, and remixes which are just an imported background and the text "Add yourself throwing up here!". Neither of these took any time or effort to make. How would you feel?
Please note, I'm not against art projects as a whole. I like stuff like MRN's art which clearly took a lot of effrot and he should be proud of because that art does show a talent.
So, please, before you criticise someone, walk a mile in your shoes. If it achieves nothing else, you'll at least be a mile away from them and with their shoes when you do so. 

I am against them if they look like they only took 1 minute to make.

Unless it's Top Viewed.

Top viewed is all rubbish. My control tester shouldn't have made it. I don't need THAT many results.

Yeah, the frontpage's quality in order from best to worst is

1. featured
2. top loved
3. top viewed
4. top remixed

The featured projects always have some quality that makes them good.
Sometimes top loved has something good, but its mostly not that great
Top viewed is just projects from popular users for the most part, which is why some test projects get there sometimes
Top remixed are projects where people spend 1 minute adding a picture

Featured is below top loved in my opinion.
