Scratch

Very Good! I think this is an excellent guide to have in the New Scratchers Forum. Maybe you could talk a bit more about how spamming is discouraged? Because you talked about 'spam projects', but you didn't really get into the concept of spamming by itself, like posting links in random places, such as on other scratcher's or famous scratcher's projects, or typing a long string of letters and words.    just advice.

Nice guide 
Oh oh... I just recently created a Chat Room... It's called Chatroom B
Imma gonna go delete it right away!!!
Phew... good thing nobody joined it yet.

The Scratch team should sticky this.

This is a forum for new scratchers to learn about discouraged galleries, projects, or forum posts:

Chat rooms:
Chat rooms are sot suggested on scratch. chat rooms are crazy and are not good for scratch. Whether they are in the forums, galleries, or projects, they are not excepted. Peoples feelings could get hurt in chat rooms. what Ive seen from chat rooms are people being talked about behind their backs, meaning they dont know about it. One time there was someone who was apart of an RPG. Well the owner made a chat room and posted the link. they were talking for a few days but the owner and another person began talking about the person I knew from the RPG. well The person found the link and read the posts. They quit the gallery at the end and I miss them. Has this ever happened to you? How did it make you feel? If it hasnt then what do you think that would make a person feel? Chat rooms can be very chaotic.

Hidden or private galleries:
I discourage these personaly. Have you ever been wanting to join an RPG but it is private and they wont let you? I think that these are not good to make. Now, have you you ever seen people say they are going to a secret gallery to talk and RP? Like Chat rooms, people in them could easily go too far and start saying things about others. I dont know if these are discouraged by the scratch team and others but they are to me.

Spam projects:
Spam projects are projects that you add just to add a project. If it is a picture then thats okay. Some people will just make a spam project with nothing on it just to bring their RPG or whateves to the top of the gallery list. Those are spam projects. Instead of doing that you should reuse a project

Actually, a chatroom is no different than just being on the internet. Anyone's feelings can get hurt, anywhere. This forum is basically a chatroom. So there is no reason not to create a chatroom, you can make a private one or add the ability to ban a person.

Very helpful to new scratchers!

Great guide! This should be stickied.

I think it should too. People are always making these, And there should be a post on the forums that is easily visable and tells them not to.
