NOTE: This Guide only Works for New Scratchers, or Old Scratchers with new Accounts. And if you want, you can try to use this to fix your account! Old or New!

Thanks Everyone! For the positive comments. I also hope this gets Sticked!
Yet again, Thanks for your support!

If you think this fourm is helpful, but you think it needs more, feel free to write some of your tips! I might add them to the list!

If you help, and get your tip on the list, I will put you on the "Special thanks" list.

Tip #1

Make a good impression on other Scratch Members!

Alot of projects are inspired by other Scratch Members Feedback, and you can get this feedback by makeing lots of friends on Scratch. You can even Look at other Members projects and get inspired. This way, you can add many different types of Projects on your account. Giving the Impression on other people that you have a open mind.

Tip #2

Don't be so focus on your projects comments, or lovits. Try Looking at other Projects from other members!

As you may know, the greatest feeling on Scratch is to get a nice or positive comment on a project. So try to give that feeling to other Scratch Members. Especialy if they are new. It will make their day! And it will also make yours! Even if you think their project are horrible, or if the project makes no sense, just make them feel good!

Tip #3

Visit the fourms! Post in the Fourms! Advertize

If you want the word of your account to spread, visit and post in the fourms regulerly. Also, try to get into topics that you think will improve scratch. You can even go the Insperation and More Secion of the fourms and get inspirered for a project. Or inspiere other people for games. You can even advertize in the Show and Tell Section!

Also, to spread the word of websites, projects, or just to make a funny joke, make a signature! When you make a Signature it will appear in every forum post that you have.

Tip #4

ABSOLUTELY NOOO SPAM!

If you spam frequently, you WILL be taged as a spamer, and will be ignored in the scratch community. If you don't have feedback on the project, or don't have somthing nice to say, than don't say it at all.

Some of you may be thinking:
"What is Spam?"
"Why is spam bad?"
"Where is that Smell Comeing from?"

All Good Questions!
Spam is when you comment on someones project, and say something that has nothing to do with what the project is about. Or it could be just an insult to the user. For example: You've just posted a project about Recycleing and being green, and you get comments like these.

"I like pie"
"Waffles are awesome"
"Hey! Check out my projects! They're Cool."
"My projects are better that yours!"
"This is stupid."
"....My dog ran away....."
"hgyiwaugfhdfkdsafgheuwiqi"

I think you get the picture.

PS: Dont give yourself lovits. It just makes you look full of yourself.

For more information on Spam, visit this Fourm.

Tip #5

If someone needs help, help them.

If you help someone, people will see you as a wise Scratcher. Then People will look up to you! And plus, you get the satisfaction of helping a new Scratcher! 

Tip #6

Be Honest

If you are honest to everyone, you will be seen as a reliable Scratcher. Don't take this the wrong way and go give a really mean comment on someones project and say "I'm just being honest." You WILL be ignored my the scratch community.

Just always remember. Honesty is always the Policey!

Tip #7

You can always make a test account.

If you want to explore with projects, but don't think the community would like it, just make a test account. For instance. My Username is Llennoccm7
My test account would be "Test-Llennoccm7"

Tip #8

Be Patient!

This can not be stressed enough. Like 48bob said "Be patient. You cant get 100 views in three hours. Over time, people will start to see your projects."

Tip #9

If you think something is not good, Flag it.

If you think somethiung is not good, dirty, mean, or anything bad, don't be afraid to flag it. Not quality bad, but bad stuff.

"Just below the project, there's a line of links - in that line there's stuff like loving the project, adding it to you gallery, etc... Also in that line is a link to flag it as inappropriate. Click that link and a box should show up asking you to explain why (I think...) and then click OK to flag it"'
