Well, the thing is that Scratchers may want to release demos of their projects, allowing users to get a feel for the project before the completed version is released (which is why there are so many betas out there on the website). Additionally, some Scratchers don't really want to remove "demos" from their site even if the completed version has been released for personal reasons. It's probably not practical for projects be automatically considered for deletion if they have words like "demo" or "beta" in their title.

its actually a reasonable argument if you look at it from my perspective.

i said "the WORD demo"

i didnt say "words that include the word demo in them"

In addition to what Cheddargirl said, sometimes demos can actually be of a really good quality, and could be a "demo"nstration of what the user is capable of.

Then what about a game like superawesomegamedemoversion2.6?

aha.  you found a loophole in my reasoning.

That would be a lot to organize. And, it's people's choice wether to delete their project or not.

And you're not being trolled. The Scratch community has been known to stick to good arguments. I know I do!

I believe I've already established that.

ah.  cant back away from an argument, can you.
you see, this thread isnt supposed to be taken literally.  i admit, with shame, ive made demos myself (and then either replaced them with a full version, deleted them when i realised i wasnt going to finish, or, in a couple rare cases, left them the way they were, seeing as they could actually be considered a full game, and werent just "trailers.") but im getting sick and tired of people hyping up others with demos (or even worse, TRAILERS!!) of a game with a ridiculous amount of content that would be possible for an experienced flash designer with alot of time on their hands, but not an inexperienced scratcher.

also, think of your own page.  nobody wants to sort through pages and pages of "demos" to find the full version.

On the topic: It's not fair to delete projects on those premises, especially not automatically. People have the right to post what they want as long as it's not inappropriate for the Scratch community. And many people do follow up on trailers and demos, so I think you're being a bit unreasonable here. 

i said dont take this literally
and i know im not being trolled [insert sarcasm here]
and no, many people DONT follow up on trailers and demos.

I fail to see your point. Also, where are you being sarcastic? It' s rather hard to tell online.

because nobody EVER EVER EVER finishes demo projects

or if on the off chance they do finish them, it has a fraction of the features they advertised in the "demo"

all demos are is MORE SPAM!
and that means less projects in which effort was put into them get attention.

Well, the suggestions forum are for serious suggestions for the Scratch program and the Scratch website, so I viewed the thread in a literal manner. Next time, when making a suggestion, try to make it less figurative.

Yes, I can understand how overhyped demos and trailers usually end up being disappointing. But when it comes to those things, I think it's best to try and avoid projects and search for projects that are more appealing and enjoyable. 

also, think of your own page.  nobody wants to sort through pages and pages of "demos" to find the full version.

Technically, wouldn't the finished project be the first ones on the list since it is recently uploaded, and thus easier to find? 

Although, I can see what you mean here. I would like a way to apply a search function for a user's projects, much like they have a way to search through titles for a person's movies on YouTube.

*sigh* cant believe im getting trolled by a couple of mods

No, you're not being trolled.    Actual trolls act on the intent of committing some serious damage.

*looks around* But I really don't like the tone that's going on here. Everyone, let's tone the anger down a bit.

When [Green Flag] clicked,
Set variable "Anger" to 100
Wait 20 posts
Set variable "Anger" to 0
Stop all.

lets see basically what im trying to say is that people in general shouldn't flood the site with 5 minute projects, (hint hint- sarcasm.  i really mean little effort put in, or in some cases, decent effort put in but low quality results, dont get into a morals argument with me here (i.e. dont quote what i just said here and make a point against it (this parentheses in getting more and more pointless))) and only submit their best, (usually) finished work.
i sardonically (im not sure what that means but it sounds good here) titled the thread "Automatically delete projects with the word "Demo" in the title" as a way to grab the attention of those with a similar feelings as i do, and it was not meant as a way of asking the mods to quite literally delete all projects bearing the said word in question, but rather express my frustration with what i consider spam, and others consider to be work of a god (that was sarcastic to, fyi, but you get my general opinion (i hope))
