Scratch

COMPLETE NO-NO.
You do realize that Misc. has merely met a low point?  People like you whining about how horrible things are right now isn't going to make this place any better.  So get off your bottoms and help out some.

No-one seems to understand that this very discussion flares up like once every 3 months; and every time the ST decides that there are more positives han negatives regarding Misc.
It's here to stay, and if you don't like it then click the 'x' in the top-right corner or look in another section that interests you. ^^

Trying to remove Misc. always fails. They'd rather remove our rights one by one then remove a filter thread.

In general, I think that Misc should be used for Miscellaneous topics, not "Everything Else". By that I mean that instead of useless topics, as an example "What did you get for Christmas?". It has absolutely nothing to do with Scratch or even the virtual world. It doesn't even have a huge meaning in the Real World. You got a new toy, how cool! is a little useless, as it doesn't provide any help or useful information ( except for stalkers ).

You just picked my thread of the first pages for your "useless topic" example.     (I know it isn't really useful, but people like bragging about what they got.  )

@topic: Many people have tried to get the ST to delete Misc. in the past. As you can tell, it never works. The ST and many Scratchers (including me) believe it has a use, and if you disagree, no one says you have to look at it.

I hardly use Scratch anymore due to the limits, misc is the only thing which actually keeps me on this site. Misc is also the most used section for a reason, and MC servers need a place to go.

why don't we start misc fresh?

Perhaps this is the way to go. Starting new, with fresh guidelines, might just do what you want.

Personally, I believe that we should have Misc. I have become attached to all of you and I'd rather not lose communication. :'3
I believe that Misc. can also bring help to project making. It shows what the community currently likes and how they react to certain types of things.
Sometimes I like to make projects on things that the community enjoys. 

So you might want to reconsider.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!  I literally have pretty much no life outside Misc.

Dunno how we stand it, we post, and then are rewarded by getting banned for 60 seconds.

I'm sorry, but I'm quitting if the Misc. is deleted.

Scratch is a community. In a community, if everyone talked about only what they needed to talk about, there wouldn't be a community. Did you ever notice that on other forums, they always have an equivalent to miscellaneous. Why?

Because miscellaneous is what makes the community a community.

Respectfuly, I disagree.
If people do not like Misc, they shouldn't visit it, as those of us who like Misc won't have to  suffer because a few people don't want Misc here.
Although, I do agree it has become a place of spam and "I quit" topics.

So we need a better, more clear set of rules.

Yes, exactly.

Nooo, without misc, my posts would be like 100, instead of 1400.

I'd still be at 1000
