New Scratcher

New Scratcher is a status that is automatically given within signing up on Scratch. The limitations of being a New Scratcher is having to wait 30 seconds between commenting, not being able to use Cloud Data, and using the New Scratcher banner on his/her profile and on the forums.

Promoting
Being promoted to a full Scratcher is only done by being active by an amount of days and weeks, by commenting, adding projects, joining studios, and being part of the community. No, you cannot bribe the Scratch Team to be promoted.

Being promoted will bring you up to a Scratcher.

Trivia

 * There is actually ways to use and edit Cloud Data being a New Scratcher without mods, or hacking.
