Show and tell section somewhat being mean

I have noticed that the show and tell section is quite bad because everyone seems to be making posts about what scores people got in their games, curator requests, advertisement posts, and so on. Should this section get monitored more often, because it is for sharing projects and galleries only. Some people do want their games to get views, but the scoreboard posts are always getting bumped and everyone are visiting their posts. I posted a post in that section, but it only got 17 views and no one really clicked on the link. If these leaderboards could get a new forum, that would be great.

Also, its for review threads. I guess ad threads also shoud go there, but almost no-one visits/uses them (at least I don't).

Yes, I do think its a bit unfair for the people who have a project that doesn't have a scoring system. I made sure I did with Crumble 3.8, but almost no-one visited anyway.

Ad threads are similar: Everyone wants to be added, repeatedly bumping up the thread. Even I could probably start an ad thread right now, and it will have ~15 replies in 2 days for wanting to get on.

Maybe there should be a seperate forum, but I don't really support it that much.

Re: Show and tell section somewhat being mean

I do kind of think that the leaderboards forum would be a good idea.
However, I don't think any major changes are coming before Scratch 2.0.

Last I remember, adding forums was easy. Of course, no major changes before S2.

Re: Show and tell section somewhat being mean

Perhaps one for discussing in game features of scratch projects, such as leader boards, achievements, walkthroughs, etc.

Re: Show and tell section somewhat being mean

I never look at Show and Tell anyways.
