You should add some info on derailing, what it is, why it's discouraged, and what it could do to a topic (like make it closed).

I agree. This would really help a bunch of users, because I see plenty of users argue over little things that barely have to do with the topic.
I probably should but just not sure how I would implement it. I am worried it will make users stop referencing/comparing another suggestion on a topic.

I have done it, hope it is OK.

After some thought, I have decided to put a link to ocular but it already has search queries so it is easy to use.

It’s wonderful, thanks. I think it’ll really help newer users.

Perhaps add that no matter the age of a topic, if it's the same as yours, it's still a duplicate? People seem to think that if a topic is old, it isn't relavant anymore and it's not a dupe.

Is your suggestion a duplicate? You can search it up using the keyboard shortcut CTRL/Command + F on the suggestions directory. and/or search your title you are going to use with ocular.

Little grammar mistake: it should be a comma.

I think you should also add a note saying something along the lines of “Please don't make test topics, as they clutter up the forums”.

AI isn't being added to Scratch anytime soon. If you want to, you could also read this related essay, which was not made by me.
I also found the earliest mention of Scratch 4.0 on the forums.

There is no point, they are very rare anyway.

I agree with the user above and it is not relevant to the suggestions subforum particularly.

You could add this quote from Harakou:

The age of a suggestion thread isn't necessarily relevant, since we want to keep discussion about a particular idea to one thread. It's always a bit tricky, because sometimes the old thread doesn't have much discussion, or the new thread has a very well thought-out first post

the new bumping rules seem good. i guess i agree that “stop bumping it” might be a little too much; maybe “bump it less frequently.” i could see someone waiting a year and then bumping their thread; new forumers probably would show up who can offer their advice.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021. I reached 20,000 forum posts on June 24th 2024.

btw yall dont have super specific ideas for your suggestions
like mockups are cool to give us an idea,
but like

dont suggest a new feature and be like “youd find the feature by going to this url and doing this thing and it would be called this and it would do this, that, and this, and also–”
its just way too specific. give us your problem and your solution, no need for all that cr a p

You see, sensei~
I love how deep your voice can get. I've been recording and collecting it as MP3s.
I've gone absolutely crazy. From the Internet, I downloaded Audacity.
Cutting, pasting, until it was complete.

Hello, I'm Helios and I use they/xe/he >:^)
I'm an artist and a writer and I do cool stuff. :P
I'm currently working on my first-person story Teacher's Pet Chronicles! The story is about a girl who tells on one student, and then becomes thirsty to tattle on them all! But some classmates aren't easy targets, some are almost impossible to tattle on. Can she remove all of them from the classroom? Will her teacher notice her actions? Hmm…
I'm also working on a collection of poems called “I Wish I Were Them”. It's about a boy who is obsessed with the lives of others.
