The Scratch Community......

....Makes me mad.

So I work hard on something and it's cool right? A fun game. I post it. The first thing i get on the project is, 'This is dumb.' (Or something). That's what ticks me off. And IT'S USUALLY A FRIEND! Scratch even states: '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.' God, People need to learn some manners.

Re: The Scratch Community......

I'm sorry it makes you mad.  sad  I've learned that what you say on the internet is never what you intend it to be.

Do you think that people you friend are actually your friend? I don't believe it takes that much effort to say, "Whatever, I friend you."

The best way to deal with it is to just ignore it and move on with your life. It is not the end of the world.  smile

This post is practically useless, by the way.  tongue

What were you expecting, most of those people are 10-11 year olds who only bother to remix their unproductive "add yourself" chains.

They're ones to talk about dumb and lame.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: The Scratch Community......

I know how you feel, I made a Tron game a while ago and had a section in the notes saying how the AI wasn't smart, and that a smarter AI with a full understanding of the board would be insanely complicated.

Needless to say a quarter of the comments were "the AI sucks" or "make the AI smarter it commits suicide" and such.  But I don't mind too much, I just try to calmly explain to them how difficult it would be to actually make it clever.

Yeah, I once commented on your AI (Like I could do better). I don't recall me saying it sucked, I think I said, 'Its easy, but nice game.' or something.

I even advertise on the forums/signature: 'Come check out my project _________. it's a ________ game! please comment and tell me what you liked and what I should fix!'. Instead of just ignoring a project or forum post, say why you didn't even bother to view the project. God, I'm sick of this.

Okay...closed.  But I am glad that you raised this topic...it is an area that we need to work on.  There's a lot of rudeness out there on the internets and a lot of times it shows up here on Scratch too.  The best way to combat it, I think, is to respond with politeness but let them know that things are more civilized here on Scratch and refer them to the Terms of Use.  If it continues to be a problem, you can flag the remarks or put them on your Ignore list.
