Rant: Ok, so I'm not a big fan of this studio update. I mean, I'm fine with the new layout, I'm just used to the old one. But the new rules or something in the new studios is kinda unacceptable. 1. There isn't the invite your followers tab. Ok so this is a big problem. I don't think that everybody has the time and patience to go track down every one of their followers. What if the invite was very important and they have 100+ followers? I mean if you have 100+ followers it takes quite a while to invite everybody just my using the "invite your followers tab" but now there isn't even the invite your followers tab now?!? What are those pour souls gonna do? It's gonna take like forever to go to their follower's profile, copy their username, go back to the studio and paste it. I mean there is another option, and that is to memorize all your follower's name. But if you have a lot, I'm not sure how you supposed to do that. 2. Mangers = curators. What I mean by mangers = curators is that mangers have the same amount of power over the studio as curators does. Why even make it so you can promote curators to make them mangers if the only thing that changes is what they are under? Why not just remove the option completely if nothing is really gonna change when somebody get "promoted"? Ok, ok I know I said I'll try to say this in the nicest way possible, but I'm raging right now. Let's continue. Anyways, so sometimes people promote curators to mangers for a reason. They promote them because if the owner is not on Scratch, the mangers can take control and stuff. But this ruins the whole purpose of mangers. Also what about the studios about signing up for things? Now if the owner of the studio isn't on Scratch for some reason, nobody can sign up anymore, since the manger role is totally useless now. 3. Manger limit. Now you can only have up to 40 mangers, which is not a lot. What about the let's get 100 or 100+ mangers studios? Well, now they're crushed. It would be highly disappointing to many people on Scratch who wants to mangers of a studio but can't be. Disappointing. Very disappointing. 4. Reply limit. Just like the manger limit, there's a reply limit. The limit is 25. Now the role players and scratchers have to start a new comment every time it reaches 25 replies. Very annoying. Also makes the studio very messy, at one point you won't even know who is replying to which comment. Also not very convenient to the role players on Scratch! 5. New scratchers can't make studios?!?! Ok this one is just no. I can't even explain it. Like when I was a new scratcher, after this update, I wasn't able to make a studio, at all. Like I'm not sure why, but this makes me very mad. I mean, I personally think they should let new Scratcher make studios because they should explore Scratch and figure out how things work. What if a new scratcher had a good idea for a Scratch studio, but after they became a scratcher they forget it? Like waiting 2 weeks and sharing 2 projects just to make a studio?!? No. :/ Maybe I went too harsh on the Scratch Team this time, but I think not. Let's arise together and get our opinions heard! Also just because I don't like this update doesn't mean I support people spamming ST's profiles to tell them to change studios back. Plus ST, maybe we know better than you do. Maybe it's time to take a turn and listen to our opinions. We built up your Scratch community after all. Also mentioning the new studio color and layout might be too much to some people. I want our old studios back!
