Now, hear me out: Suggestions will have to come with a reasoning. And it would be similar to the report feature. All the options would be constructive criticism and upon selection, you would have to type in what specifically about the game could be better. An AI similar to the comment filter would check your suggestion before sending it.
Unfortunately this has been rejected as per the official list of rejected suggestions:

4.2 Dislike button or a project rating system

Generally, a user's first project is something rather simple, such as a test project, a remix, or a project made using a tutorial. Because this project is simple, other users may give the project low ratings since it is not advanced. With low enough ratings, the creator might be discouraged enough to stop using Scratch. Moreover, constructive feedback is encouraged on Scratch. A dislike button may show the creator how many people disliked their project, but it tells nothing about what the creator could do better. If you do not like a project, you could choose not to love it, or you could leave a respectful and constructive comment telling the user how to improve, in addition to saying what you like about the project.

With that, a dislike button is rejected for anything, including projects and comments. However, a like button for comments is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.

Also, even if it was constructive, little Timmy would be sad seeing his project got a thumbs down.

Couldn't you just use comments for the same functionality?

no, not really. comments seem to get clogged with so much carnage. that said, something like an approval/rejection of suggestions would be cool
with that said, i'm gonna throw the st's stupid words back at them: this is considered private messaging.

o wait I thought this was for projects

But can’t you just post on the forum post and accomplish the same thing?

huh? Okay then commenting can accomplish the same thing
I personally think that the Suggestion Box is just posting a comment on a topic. Nothing special.

Dude, Little Timmy is the reason we can't have FNAF, games like Arena, TACT-AIM, or even historic war projects. I kinda don't care about little Timmy honestly.

But I also see that he hasn't said anything about dislikes
So like, next to the report button be like a like suggestions button, and it's like the same thing as report but creator sees suggestions?
