I want this block:
turn turbo mode [on/off]
there are so many turbo mode projects, and it would be better if you didn't have to shift click the green flage every time...

Don't worry, in Scratch 2.0 you can actually create a script which specifically runs in turbo speed! 

that's not true.

You can build your own blocks, so HardMath is right.

AT THE MOMENT OF THIS POST, there is no "all at once" or "warp speed" block.

Another thing about the username block; someone could embarrass another user by making a "chatroom" project using cloud variables, but put this script:

When gf clicked
forever
if <(username)=(Mokat)> 
be mean //Things like swearing, insulting users, etc.
else
be nice

2.0 does however allow people to see the scripts of a project, and if a project was offensive to someone, assuming the person saw it, they would just report it

Any version of scratch would allow people to see the scripts of project. 2.0 puts it online.

However, Lightnin said some people, especially newer ones may feel unsafe about being able to be tracked on what they view.

He also said that if we asked for permission to get their username, they may also feel unsafe.

<Username is [Stickdude123]?> 

usage: checks to see if the name specefied is on the project

Skew
Stretch

Self explanatory...
Some new effects:
-Negative
Plus bring some of the obsolete effects back
(plus i am pretty sure flash has the potential in making a sprite get negative colors)
Some New "More" blocks

Allow sprites off screen
Don't allow sprites off screen

and some other blocks.....

<Fps>

a boolean to show frames per second.

Thats all....For now.

Booleans only tell true or false, so I think you mean "reporter".

And since the Scratch Team cannot change their usernames, the first block is definitely not being put in, because it could be used to bully people secretly.

And the negative effect can already be achieved with the paint editor.

You will MAKE new "more" blocks, because that section is only for user-made blocks.

I like the allowing sprites on and off screen, but I don't see it's functionality as a block. I think it's better suited as an option you can set for the project when people view it.

And some people have found ways to calculate the fps on Scratch with 1.4, although, it is very complicated.

Ok seriously, If someone made a script to make individuals be Insulted and such, they could obviously report and the mods would look into the project people! So Yeah that is solved, Don't make a reference about "They would use scripts to be mean to individuals" Because obviously there is a flag button on the project!

Better safe than sorry.

Of course you know because you still go to the editor after being told not to.

But anyways, it's supposed to be there, but maybe its not ready or fully functional yet.

But it WILL be in the final version.

Sorry.  But why did they remove it?

Nothing is completely safe.
Let's remove the color red, because ya'know, it could be used for gory imagery, and it's better for us to be safe than sorry. And let's remove music and sounds, because they could say something nasty. </sarcasm>
The point I'm trying to make here is that nothing is completely safe and can be used for malicious purposes. But the proportion of people who use block(s) for good instead of evil warrants the block's existence. In my mind, it's not right to limit the creativity of others because one or two people might possible use it for malicious purposes.

exactly. let me make a simile

restricting something because it could be used for malicious purposes is like banning pencils from schools because they can be sharpened to a point and used to impale someone.

that being said, I still see no use for that block

and I suppose as long as im critiquing, the only blocks anyone has listed that I agree with are the stretch/skew ones even though i see no inherent purpose or value to having them. if you badly want something skewed, just use mspaint. i guess there are some advanced functions that could be had by using them though
