Thumbs up and Thumbs down
What Scratch needs is a Thumbs system like Youtube!
Good show.

Re: Thumbs up and Thumbs down
No. Thumbs down would be terrible in my opinion. You would see people hitting "thumbs down" on a random beginners project that isn't interesting because they don't know how to broadcast. But if they took the time to post a comment, and they were mean, it could be flagged or deleted. For example, on this project, I could hit thumbs down or I could take the time to write a comment like "It's a little annoying how you need to click each sprite to get it to talk. Maybe you could look at this tutorial (link to project) for help with broadcasting."
EDIT: This just reminds me of the whole 5-Star issue.

If you are having trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: 1 comes before 2 comes before 5,280 comes before 523,860,759 comes after the square root of -153 comes before π. This will make your previous counting problems seem like no big deal.

I agree. If that happened then no-one would look at the project due to it's reputation.
Let's hope I'm online. I think I am... well maybe...
