Open accounts?
Hi,
Last night, an idea just popped up in my head.
Some people might not want to be identified when they post projects.
I thought that we could create an open account that anybody can use to share projects.
But I was wondering if this was a violation of the terms of use.
Could somebody please tell me if I can do it?

Re: Open accounts?
Not a good idea.
Somone could delete everything, troll and give it a bad rep, etc . . .
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

I was thinking that Mods could run it.

Usually open accounts (sometimes known as public accounts) are discouraged and often closed; in other words: sorry, but you can't do it.
Although... I do like the idea of looking at projects without knowing who made it (Scratch Suggestions forum tiem? 
)
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Maybe under Username: field in the upload form, there could be a chekcbox "Unkown/Unnamed" which is default unchecked.
