(accidental alliteration ftw)
I may only be a "new scratcher", but I think it's pretty obvious that galleries that are titled "get every project on scratch here plz" or "10000 projects b4 tomorrow" have no place. All I want is a spam filter for galleries- the ability to mark a gallery as useless [removed].
60% of galleries in the first page would fall under that category. Please, comment here if you think "every project" galleries have no place on this website.

Should go under Suggestions methinks.

Well, they really don't have any purpose but I haven't checked whether they clutter the gallery list in any way. I support still, good point you have.

Let's see what the Scratch Wiki says about those galleries. tongue

I disagree with you. I don`t think that those galleries are a problem.

Well, actually I think galleries being used purely as chatrooms have no place on this website.

Usually galleries could be used for about anything. And while "add everything" galleries aren't that very helpful, it isn't really much of a problem in comparison to other gallery problems such as galleries being used a chatroom, galleries being used to promote SEO spam, or galleries being abused for vigilante activities or spread hateful messages.

While I don't support a system that would flag "add everything" galleries, I do support the idea of having a system that would allow people to flag galleries so the Scratch Team can take a closer look at them, much like the flagging system for projects now. ^^

Yeah, Scratchers should be able to flag galleries hmm Those galleries you mentioned (like the "9001 projects before something") aren't inappropriate though - I'm not sure if you should flag them if you could.

So, summary: While "add everything" galleries are annoying, they aren't the biggest issue- other galleries pose much bigger problems to the community.
Does everyone agree that a flagging system is in order?

PlutoIsHades · 2011-06-23 19:53:33

While there are lots of these galleries, they don't hurt Scratch in any way, so I don't support this flagging system.

P.S. I have a "add everything" gallery tongue

They do harm scratch- they clog up the galleries page, overload your search with random junk, and serve no purpose.

So veggieman001 might have to take down his "talk with veggie!" gallery?

Yes. He can use the forums like everyone else.
