Discuss the Policies of This Forum

Welcome to the brand-new "Things I'm Making and Creating" forum!

Since it is so new, the policies are still not completely nailed down.  There are going to be questions about them and adjustments made to them.  So post your questions/suggestions here and we'll see where the conversation leads us.

Re: Discuss the Policies of This Forum

Should sig request shops go in here? Some people use them for things outside of Scratch. Also, are image shops allowed in here?

Why? Boohoo, new Scratchers can post, what's the problem with that? Nothing bad can come from newbies being able to say what they're doing outside of Scratch.

In Misc., anything went. The new forums have much stricter guidelines.

If New Scratchers can post in the "new misc", why are img tags still off?

"No rules whatsoever"

Rules:
If it isn't related to Scratch, it goes here
If it's not suitible for people of all ages, it doesn't belong anywhere on this site

We're hoping to encourage discussions about creative things that you really care about and are interested in sharing with others.  A signature might be such a thing, if you were say, creating a custom image and spending a lot of time on it and inviting input from the community to finalize the image.  On the other hand, it could just be some picture or text that you pulled off the internet somewhere and really didn't put a lot of creative thought into at all. 

So, whether it is allowed or not, depends a lot on how you frame your topic in the title and the first post:  "look at my new sig" would probably get closed.  "Help me with this sig picture I'm making" might well survive  smile

Remember too - you share your signature on every post you make or have ever made.  So there's really not a need for a special announcement topic.

This makes sense to me...let's leave them over in Requests.

I think those are fine...as long as you are specific about what you are looking to make and don't leave the topic too open-ended.  It helps a lot if you can share something you've already made in the area you are asking about.  For instance:  "Here's some of my wood carving projects...any ideas on other things I can make?"  or "Here's a story I wrote about an insane squirrel - any ideas on a next chapter?"

Hmm, good question.
I would assume it would be around that amount of time, but perhaps a little longer because the topics aren't being made as quickly as in Misc.  hmm

Well it's showing this that you've created so I'd assume so. But I think it'd be best to us Minecraft Official Topic for that.

Re: Discuss the Policies of This Forum

Can stuff that we're getting go here too? If yes, don't you think Making & Creating is  a bit redundant, and one should be changed to Getting?
