[SOLUTION] Nicknames/display names
As I said, people will easily get confused by this new change and this can lead to impersonation and similar problems. Even if the change is accompanied by a unique tag, many will not notice or get confused. This will be a problem especially considering scratch's target demographic. -snip-
With that logic and vague explaination, we should have every social action, project/profile comment section, and the forums removed then. No support. Useless. Waste of time. No one needs.
The forums and comment sections help by allowing people to share feedback on projects to help improve people's coding ability. The forums allow for troubleshooting and working together to share and code together. Favorites allow you to keep track of projects. Loves are useless and should be removed.

it has been stated clearly that the first username would still be visible and wouldn't go away. there would be no reason for problems like impersonation to happen because people can see your @ handle or your username. As I said, people will easily get confused by this new change and this can lead to impersonation and similar problems. Even if the change is accompanied by a unique tag, many will not notice or get confused. This will be a problem especially considering scratch's target demographic.
-loves are for you wanting to show your support but without having it on your profile The forums and comment sections help by allowing people to share feedback on projects to help improve people's coding ability.

and changing names are useful for people who have gone by a different name since they created theirs. we should not have to make a new account for this

Absolutely hot garbage take, yeah guys let's just remove the website because you can just send projects through email, what are you going to be posting to scratch for? status symbol?As I said, people will easily get confused by this new change and this can lead to impersonation and similar problems.

wow bro really had to say that No support. Useless. Waste of time. No one needs.
Also, scratchers be stooopid. Not know difference between display name and then get confuzzled. It cause problems and badness. Doesn't solve problem with rejection.
First, not useless not a waste of time some people wants/needs
I wouldn’t be posting this solution if i didn’t want it
For your reasoning, yeah scratchers can be stupid but i’ve already decreased the number of where my nickname will appear so confusion would be at its minimum. if they still get confused it’s how their brains can’t work properly
if the problem still exist this topic wouldn’t have existed for nearly a year straight
if they are stupid to get confused it’s because they’re stupid, and not everyone is. if the whole community is stupid yeah we can outright reject this!
people can also get stupid on other things too, if i’m stupid at vector art does it mean we should remove the vector editor also?
your reasoning is NOT for everyone, and it heavily bases on a huge variable: are they stupid or not
the original suggestion puts the username at too much places, sometimes without even the username, as for mine, the nickname ALWAYS goes with the username to avoid most of the confusion, and sometimes it doesn’t even show nicknames. i believe that’s enough to avoid confusion for the *ahem*, average minded people
also i beg you please be kinder on your posts, i saw several others of them and i swear, no one likes a no support threw directly at their face with short sentences
i knew something must be up with you when i read this Loves are useless and should be removed.
anyway quoting from an unknown source, “loves mean you liked the project and favorites mean you’d like to see the project again”
anyway please don’t go off topic much if you quote this

This would make it much easier for users to know what to call someone, in the case that they have a long username and are trying to talk to them.
In my opinion, a cooldown for display names would be really useful, since users can make inappropriate display names and then change it super fast so the Scratch Team can't punish them without going through a long hassle. I think displays should only be changable once every 7 days. A cooldown ensures that users actually think about what their display name is.. Of course, silly names are fine , but when there are too many of them, it's not really funny any more and is just a bit chaotic. By having a display name, users can change their online identity without shifting their content with them.

I agree I originally thought of 30 days to make the nicknames quality better but that works too This would make it much easier for users to know what to call someone, in the case that they have a long username and are trying to talk to them.

Users probably won't get confused if it's clear. I had a few minutes to spare so I made a quick mockup on Pixlr E.
By the way, @iiucandyfloss is me, so obvi that account is okay with being used in a mockup
Note: I selected a very large dimension size when editing, and I have to go back to my file folder and crop it and reupload to fix it. I don't have enough time for that, so there will be loads of white space. Please ignore that.
Anyways, the mockup shows something that says a nickname, with, in brackets @username. The @ symbol clearly represents a username in Scratch, so there is almost no way for someone to be confused. It's a very simple concept. Scratch's targeted audience is 8-16. 8 year olds are not necessarily individuals who lack intelligence or the ability to grasp simple concepts. They can grasp the idea of a nickname and username.

We all know that. However, a lot of children use Roblox, and most of those children are younger than 8-16 (Scratch's intended demographic). If this system is understandable on Roblox, it'll be just as understandable on Scratch.Sorry to burst your bubble, man, but this isn't Roblox. support, if roblox has it, why cant we

Every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but, that's why we have to live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least… that's what I figure.
