I'll start with how to get around with the basic stuff most people go to on the forums.

Announcements:

Okay, the announcements are how Moderators and The Scratch Team (see moderators) give you news and stuff you can do to make the forums a better place.
They show, well, announcements about Scratch!

New Scratch Members:

New Scratch Members is where you post to help New Scratchers, or introduce yourself to the Scratch Community.

Show and Tell

This is where you tell others about your projects, but don't Spam, theres a difference.(see Spam)

FAQs and All About Scratch

They are quite similar. They both answer any question that you may have about Scratch.

Advanced Topics

Hence the name, Advanced Topics is for questions and problems for mesh, etc. ( not really a valid description)

Suggestions

Here's where you submit your ideas about the Scratch site or the Scratch Program

Troubleshooting

You submit glitches, bugs or other mishaps on the program or site.

Sensor Boards

Topics relating to Scratch Boards, PicoBoards, and Scratch sensing.

Other Languages

The next 14 are Scratch problems and whatnot in other languages.

Collaboration

Here you work with other Scratchers to create projects, companies, and galleries.

Requests

Here you offer your talents to others, or others do to you.

Project Ideas

The name says it all.

Miscellaneous

Here you post topics that are not related to Scratch.

That's it!
Since you are new, you can't post in certain places.

BBcode is a thing that changes text color and makes links and etc.

Siggys are where you say something that goes at the bottom of everyone of your posts. Such as a picture, words, or something else. But you have to wait 15 days after you join to use a siggy.

4

Moderators are Scratchers that enforce rules around the forums. They keep it safe for all ages, and block out inappropriate posts.

The Scratch Team.. well I don't know much about them.
5

Spam is telling other people OVER AND OVER to look at your projects.
It's not good and you shouldn't do it.

Hope this helped!
