Confirmation to show forum blocks

I have noticed that some users, especially on the HwS forum, spam random blocks in the topics. Normally, this isn't a huge problem, but some people take it to the extreme, putting hundreds of blocks in the post and effectively making the topic impossible to post on.

To fix this, I feel that it would be helpful to, should a forum post have blocks in it, remove them on first opening the topic. Then, they would be replaced by a button saying something like “Show script” which would load the blocks upon clicking. This would prevent extreme blockspam.

support, you would be able to find actually important posts like a quote from ST or a useful post from a user, without scrolling through loads of Scratchblocks

Support as I have the same problem too…

Now you can skip the hundreds of scratch blocks

If you want any icon on the button or other preference for how it should look, let me know.

(Also, I decided to use the OP for the post in the mockup, even though it doesn't have any scratchblocks.)

This is an amazing solution to blockspam. We won’t have to scroll through blocks upon blocks. Support

But I think it should be a setting that it always auto shows scripts. As i haven't had much of a problem with them
