A simple name change
I've noticed some threads that would best fit under collaboration or requests floating around in other forums. I think simply renaming these two sections would help to direct topics to the right place.
Collaboration and Contests
Requests and Resources
This shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to do, so... why not?

Re: A simple name change
I personally think that the Requests and Resources one makes more sense than the Collab and Contests one. The contest threads, at least to me, should be in Show and Tell, as they are advertising a contest, which is the whole point of S&T; advertising.
I like the Requests and Resources one though, people could ask for stuff and say if they've put up any new resources on Scratch Resources so people can use them, so I like that one though.

Re: A simple name change
I don't really think we need this. Where exactly are these topics that you spoke of? Could you link to them and where they were originally (if they have been moved to their proper place)?

Re: A simple name change
Hmm... I'm not so sure about this - IMO, not all contests fit in collabs (SSO did fit, but others aren't really for collaborating - more of solo efforts, like Telemachus' contest), and
What would "resources" add to the current "requests" forum? 
My guess if for providing resources for everyone to use - but Scratch Resources already covers that... doesn't it? I might've confused it though...

I saw several topics about floating marmisats. It's quite easy to say there are some threads, but without actually having links to the threads, it's not really enough to convince me that this is a giant problem.

On another part though, by users seeing "Contests", it will probably make users more likely to make contests, as they will see it and say "Ooh, that's a good idea!" . And I'd say that'd make a sort of positive impact in the community

Or just more coloring contests.

I'm not so sure about the first one, but I definitely support the "Requests and Resources" one.
