Be respectful. When sharing projects or posting comments, remember that people of many different ages and backgrounds will see your contributions.

Offer constructive comments. Instead of just criticizing a project or forum post, say what you like about it and offer suggestions on how to make it better.
Give credit. Feel free to make modified versions of other people's projects - just make sure to give them credit. One place to give credit is in your Project Notes.

Be honest. Don't pretend to be someone other than who you are or try to game the community.

Keep personal information private. Don't share your email address, phone number, or other personal contact information.

Help keep the site friendly. If you feel others would find a project or comment mean, insulting, too violent, or otherwise inappropriate, click the link that says "flag as inappropriate."  In the Forums, you can do the same thing by clicking on the "Report" link below a post. The Scratch team will review, and may remove any project, comment or post.


Does this seem familiar? Right. It's the Terms of Use. I wondered if more people would follow it if it had a different header...

We already know the terms of use, sheesh.

There should also be "No exploiting other people". That would get the majority of scratch banned permanently. (exploiting the nature of scratcher's with "I QUIT" projects etc.)

Another one. "If a user decides to leave then changes their mind, dont tell them they were doing it for publicity or make a big deal out of it. Instead, you could welcome them back or ignore the fact that they decided to leave. Scratch is addicting, after all..."

Don't act like me.

I stand up for anyone 

But, yea. What if you decide not to do scratch, then come back to everyone "You did a publicity stunt!"
You quit? I thought u were banned... 

I quit Misc.

Then when I logged on to apologize to that flying, magical shrub thing, I realized I was banned.

Why is it everyone is going around, biting at somelia? She may have done something wrong in the past, but I'm completely sticking up for her - compared to the usual bullies in Miscellaneous, she's great.

somelia, I support you.

I'm not trying to be mean, but it IS really frustrating when somebody keeps on saying that they're leaving, but they never do.

Friends! 

Friends!

To be honest, somelia is very innocent. She doesn't go around biting people... she's nice, although she can get upset easily.

I'm on her side; she's a good person - much better than the people who bite at her. somelia, we support you!

Great topic, somelia! The tips and writing style are great.    (I'm being completely honest here.)

I don't understand what's so frustrating about somebody coming back after quitting. You could just ignore them, as someone else said.

Som, we support you.

Oh! I think I've got one! Don't make random posts. Like if the posts in on , say, elephants, you wouldn't write about cheese. Also, don't make "Lets be random!" threads. All they do is clog the Miscellaneous and it makes it harder for people to find threads they want to post in. And you know its going to get closed, anyway.     If you do one of these, you're probably not gonna get banned, but you know, its good to just NOT DO IT!

I haven't felt this happy on the forums for ages.
I can get upset easily, partly because of my brother. Don't ask. He's mean, and makes me very sensitive to the kind of thing that happens on the forums. Teasing is one thing, cruelty is another.

You obviously were looking for replies to this topic otherwise you would have posted a project and locked comments.

Think.
