2018-03-06T17:24:27+00:00Botcho_Otkho3016105Hullo there! A lot of people ask “What does **** mean?”. This is a guide if you wanna know some certain terms in Discussion forums or somewhere else in Scratch.<br/><span class="bb-bold">Dupe/Duplicate</span><br/><blockquote>Especially in Suggestions,this happens when someone writes a topic which the argument has been wrote by someone else in another topic that user created.</blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Bump</span><br/><blockquote>What's “BUMP”? We're not in a road. Well,it's an acronym. It stands for <span class="bb-bold">B</span>ring <span class="bb-bold">U</span>p <span class="bb-bold">M</span>y <span class="bb-bold">P</span>ost (<a href="https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Bump">wiki link</a>)</blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Dupe/Duplicate</span><br/><blockquote>Especially in Suggestions,this happens when someone writes a topic which the subject has been wrote by someone else in another topic that user created.</blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Workaround</span><br/><blockquote>Especially in suggestion,I saw people recreating topics because of a misunderstanding of “Workaround”. But what does that mean? Well,a workaround is a solution to your suggestion. For example,if someone is suggesting this:<br/><pre class="blocks">say nothing::looks</pre>it would be easily <span class="bb-bold">workaround</span>able with this:<br/><pre class="blocks">say []</pre></blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Snip</span><br/><blockquote>Why did someone quote me and replaced my post with “<snip>”/“-snip-”? Is he trolling me? Does he want to play a joke on me by replacing my post with things I didn't say? Nope,no scams. See,when there is a long quote tree or a long post,you may want to <span class="bb-italic">snip</span> in order to leave more space on the page. Pratically you just shortened a post to save space. (<a href="https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Quote#Snipping_Forum_Posts">wiki link</a>)</blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Sticky</span><br/><blockquote>This user asked me to read stickies! What does that mean? That's super simple. Have you ever seen this <img src="http://i.cubeupload.com/Dl0Elp.png"></img> symbol? That's a sticky. It's a topic that is recommended to read before posting in that section.</blockquote>Now for more <span style="color:red">complex</span> things.<br/><span class="bb-bold">Necroposting</span><br/><blockquote><span class="bb-italic">Necro</span>post? What does it mean? It's because someone died? Nope. Nobody died. “Necro” means “death”,and posting… well… means posting. So? Are you posting a dead body? Not properly. You're posting under something… which is <span class="bb-italic">dead</span>. It verifies when the topic is old and your post doesn't add anything to the discussion,or in cases of suggestion, it's a post under a post which suggestion is accepted or rejected.<br/></blockquote><span class="bb-bold">Thread Hijacking</span><br/><blockquote>This is not much heard. It's when someone <span class="bb-italic">posts a post</span> declaring another problem or something that isn't related to that topic. Maybe it's not very understandable,but with this example you will understand:<br/><blockquote><p class="bb-quote-author">ZZZZZZZZZZZ wrote:</p><blockquote><p class="bb-quote-author">Hippo wrote:</p>Hey! I have this problem,when i put a block it automatically deletes. Can you help me fix this bug? Thanks <img src="//cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__adb5bfafa9c0ef8a5b5631a1c66b827d__/djangobb_forum/img/smilies/smile.png" /><br/></blockquote>Wow,that's so strange <img src="//cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__adb5bfafa9c0ef8a5b5631a1c66b827d__/djangobb_forum/img/smilies/hmm.png" />, when I delete a block it comes back in the workspace. Can someone else answer to this?<br/></blockquote>pratically you used a post of someone to create a new thread. That's not very kind,since it doesn't add nothing to the discussion. (<a href="https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Thread_Hijacking">wiki link</a>)<br/></blockquote>I hope I solved most of new scratcher's problems <img src="//cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__adb5bfafa9c0ef8a5b5631a1c66b827d__/djangobb_forum/img/smilies/smile.png" />! Ask me if there is another term you wanna know.
