Great idea, but the big banner is distorted. Well, just unclear.

what would you add?

John_W · 2011-09-29 10:35:22

Um, what's wrong with giving out free love-its? This project is misguided...

The love it button is used to give someone a compliment about his/her project, not to fantasize that people like it by awarding them for contests, viewing their project, etc.

THANK YOU. People keep giving out free 'love its' as if it were money. This isn't Cool.

videogame9 · 2011-09-29 20:10:42

Ugh, JPEG.

I fully support the idea, though.

P-Cupcake · 2011-09-29 20:22:00

I support your idea. I REFUSE to go into a thread with 'free love its' in the title. mad

well, now you have something to post to them if they do have that!

kayybee · 2011-09-29 22:42:38

Looks much better now!

Good job on the big banner!

It seems to me that love-it's have become a sort of reward/currency. Perhaps suggest a Scratch currency for the site to the Scratch team?

i actually did, but many people pointed out that you could easily trick the younger audience of scratch. Ex: LOVE IT AND I GIVE YOU MONEY! and then the person doesn't actually give money.

helltank · 2011-09-30 06:38:57

I don't count the number of love its on my project, I count the number of positive comments.

As well as factoring in the number of views and the number of favorites and remixes(favorites is not given out blindly like loveits for some reason, and remixing something means you like it enough to put effort into making a better version).

[for the last example]And even if they give money, it still wouldn't be fair...

Maybe we could make a project to send the word to the general site
