Being a new scratcher sucks, especially when i have thousands of projects .3.

You don't have thousands of projects; only 61.

Just saying, I have.... lots? o_o

I'm irratated because I scarcely came to the forums because I never needed too, now that I want to, I don't qualify even though I've almost been here a year :P

hello, i am new here, not so glad to know my restrictions!

Testing.

Hi,
when exactly will you be "upgraded" from new scratcher to scratcher. I understand the limitation but in some cases they are quite annoying.

Well this is helpful, and I've been using Scratch since March or April this year

  I wish I could post non-scratch related posts. I have a good question if I could... Well, thx for telling me!    I've always wanted to know why for me it said "New scratcher" and for some other people it says "Scratcher". Well, I'll be spending ALOT more time on scratch now!        ~lapras27

If you've only just joined the forums, you may have noticed that you can't do some of the things that everyone else is doing. You'll probably have also noticed that the rank under your username is "New Scratcher" instead of "Scratcher". This was introduced as a way to combat some of the spam and trolling that was appearing on the forums  .

You can read more about the history of why this tag was added on the Scratch Wiki article, here.

To help, this is a list of everything you can/can't do for now. But first, if you're wondering how to become a Scratcher -  The time varies depending on your overall activity on both the main site and forums. Just keep being active and friendly and soon your rank will change to Scratcher also. 


Anyway, so far New Scratchers cannot:

1) Edit their own posts - Scratchers can edit posts they have made by pressing the edit button at the bottom of their posts, so if a user makes a mistake, they can change it etc: New Scratcher's don't have this button.

2) Delete their own posts - Scratchers can also delete their own posts with another button, but again. New Scratchers do not have this button.

3) Post or create threads in the Miscellaneous sections of the forums.

4) Post every minute - Scratchers can post another post every 60 seconds, for a New Scratcher the wait is 180  seconds.

5) Use image tags - New Scratchers cannot post images.

If the image tags are used in a post, then this message appears.

- Sorry, New Scratchers cannot place images in their posts. Please remove all BB code [url]tags.

6) Post links (unless they lead to somewhere on Scratch). -  New Scratchers cannot post links unless they're on Scratch due to them being abused in the past. New Scratchers can still type a link as text however, eg: http://scratch.mit.edu.

A few examples of links New Scratchers can post are:

http://scratch.mit.edu - The homepage
http://scratch.mit.edu/users/06dknibbs - Users
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/06dknibbs/329606 - Projects

A link to somewhere off-site such as google results in this message though.

- Sorry, New Scratchers cannot post urls to websites other than Scratch in their posts. Please remove all BB code [url] tags.

7) Create signatures - New Scratchers cannot create signatures to go with their posts.

If you want to know why this rule exists - There's an FAQ topic here..

Currently that's everything. So again, just keep being an active and friendly member around the site/forums and Scratch On! 

From my opinion, 1 & 2 shoudn't apply. If a “New Scratcher” makes a mistake in a post, they can't do anything about it, which could lead to confusion, & possibly arguing. Also, if a “New Scratcher” posts something, & no longer needs that post, they can't fix that either. 

got it, i wil be Scratcher some day
