spammers?
i really didn't know where to put this, but i'd just like to comment on something that makes me really mad...i hate it when people have more than one account and they put their projects on the scratch page again and again on differenct accounts. i don't think that's fair at all, and when im browsing the recent projects, i just keep seeing the same ones again and again. This doesn't allow other scratch members a fair chance of getting THEIR project viewed..what do you all think of that?

It might be a class that's learning something.
A lot of Chinese schools do that daily.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: spammers?
This is actually spam in Advanced topics.
I'd move it to Miscellaneous.
Lots of schools create similar projects and upload them, they are almost the same.
Soupoftomato, you are possible the most biased person I have ever seen. Why just state they are Chinese when they can be Korean or Japanese or Irish?

Hey evilmonkey, keep in mind that many schools use Scratch as a learning tool in the classroom - often times, students upload their lesson projects and then share them on the Scratch community usually at around the same time, resulting in what looks like multiple copies of projects on different accounts. While it may look like spam, often times it is not - it is simply just a reflection of classroom procedure. 
I do agree, though, that the situation I described does cut away some exposure to other new projects.
