It's just a way for you to write notes to other Scratchers that are trying to read and understand your scripts.  It's kind of like sticky notes that you can place in your project.  It has no effect on how your project runs.

Aaaaaaaaaah, Thanks! Requested to be locked

i thought it was a block that one a member could type something and you had to program the game and depending on what the person types, it reacts the way you programed it to.

You might be thinking of a different kind of comment: The ones posted on project pages on the website...A users comments can be "blocked" or prevented from appearing on your project page if you add their user name to your ignore list.

The comment block that is being discussed here is a part of the software that you use to create your projects.  As Paddle2See says, these used to be blocks, just like the control, motion, and other blocks.  They were removed in the current version of Scratch.  In the version coming out soon, we have replaced the blocks with another form to allow people to add notes within their scripts to give people additional explanation about their scripts.

Commenting is a common way for programmers to add notes to one another right in their code (scripts).  This is helpful when many people share the same code, or many programmers work on a piece of code together.  Writing helpful comments is a good practice and helpful to others who might be using your code.

Hope this helps 

hee, hee. sorry. i thought it was meant to put on the screen and then other people could comment on your project.
