Automatic Credit Giver

doglover_1 · #1 Sept. 24, 2016 19:17:04

These days lots of people don't give credit or even change anything while remixing. I think we can fix that by..

#1. Whenever you remix, in the credit box, instead of “suggesting” to give credit, put it there for them “ Credit to @____ ” to whoever they remixed And also make it so they can't delete it. Some new scratchers don't know to give credit and some scratchers just plainly don't want to. ( Maybe you could also do this with the backpack, if they take something from that person, it automatically gives credit. And YES people it's against the community guidelines not to give credit, it can result in the project being taken off scratch, so I think this feature could help cause less trouble.

#2. Because some people don't really change anything while remixing, maybe you can make them change 1 thing before pressing “share”. So if they try pressing share without remixing, it could say “ please change 1 thing ”

Support anyone?

What if someone wanted to make less than 3 changes? When remixing, credit is already given.

Less than 3 changes isn't enough, you need to change at least 3 things for it to be your work. No its not, scratchers need to right it in their notes and credits or its not following the community guidelines and the project could be reported.

Less than 3 changes are aloud. As long as there is 1 change, it's okay. At the bottom remixed projects, there is credit given, but it's nice to give credits in the Notes and Credits.

Please explain what you classify as a change. Adding blocks? Deleting them? Moving them? Changing their inputs? Adding a comment?

I think the solution to this is harder.

A single change is enough. Sometimes people make a tiny slip in their code and somebody else remixes and corrects it.

#1 exists already.
#2 What counts as a “change”? Is a “change” an edit or some other kind of action that also would cause the “Want to save? Click remix” thing to appear?

Here are my thoughts on the suggestions:

1. It already exists, and some people like to credit others in different contexts.
2. Remixing is allowed, even if it's the smallest change ever. If someone creates a duplicate of your project without giving credit, you can report the project with the label “Copied Project” or “No Credit Given”. You can also use Contact Us .

Exactly. No support for this suggestion.

Please cite where you've seen that. It's clearly false; you can make as many or as little changes as you want as long as you DO change something.

no support, would defeat the purpose of the rule on credit

Digital_Gaming · #12 Sept. 26, 2016 23:38:51

Support for automatic credit but NO support for forcing people to make 3 changes. As long as you make one change no matter how minor it's a valid remix.

Really? There's really clear instructions on how to that show when you remix a project:

I feel that if the software automatically gives credit then scratchers won't learn that they should give credit, won't do it elsewhere, and won't get in trouble.

thoyal · #16 Sept. 28, 2016 21:51:38

Umm… It already gives credit automatically when you remix a project.

But there's no need to repost your opinions this much.

Support: 10%

I was reading the post until i see this… it totally change my opinion of the post, whaterer, there 2 flaws with this:

1-It dont says the things that the project changed
2-If the project remixed was a remix of the remix of the original project (or even more chain of remixes) it will not show all the creators of every remix

Actually it would. It would show all of the remix chain leading up to the project like Scratch currently does.
