Renaming the show-and-tell forum
So, simple suggestion. I believe the Show-and-tell forum should be renamed the “Critique and Feedback” forum. Why?
- Currently, show-and-tell is a nearly deserted forum. I know of very few people who actually bother to go look at those projects every now and then. Renaming it might bring more traffic, especially from the frequent forumers, because the goal would be to help people by critiquing their projects instead of simply self-promotion.
- By potentially bringing more traffic, posters would have a greater chance of being viewed in a “Critique and feedback” forum than they would in show and tell- not entirely eliminating the purpose of the original forum.
- It would help add emphasis to the coding aspect of scratch and de-emphasize the fame and followers side.
- Though slightly altering the purpose, it could still easily be a direction for people who want a place to advertise their projects.
- A renaming would encourage continual growth of a project. I would tend to agree with the philosophy that there's always room for improvement, so a feedback forum would demonstrate that sharing something isn't the last step, it's just one of many on a long staircase.
- I'm noticing that the Project Ideas forum has quite a few posts that very nearly advertise a project on the basis that they want ideas for upcoming updates. (Please note, I'm not trying to shame any of these posts.) Changing show and tell to Critique and Feedback would make a perfect spot for those posts, saving the Project Ideas forum for just that- ideas for new projects.

(wants to support this so bad but is also conflicted about not adding to the discussion)
I completely agree, since this encourages growth and improvement which (no offence) is sort of needed in certain areas of the Scratch community. Let's be honest, we all need to improve when we first start out (unless you already had experience?) and we all need to improve in general, even people like griffpatch who are considered amazing.

My alt account, where I upload nothing (much like my main account)
I play video games and sometimes do other things. I don't really make anything on Scratch anymore, but I'm relatively active on the Undertale and Deltarune forums.

Full support + 2174 bonuses! This would be a great way to re-emphasize the coding aspect of Scratch and slightly reduce the fame, followers and coughcoughsocialmedia?coughcough sort of thing (if I'm correct in saying that that is kinda happening as well). It's also a great way to help develop the emphasis on the following sentence on the homepage:-

I agree. Plus “Critique and Feedback” honestly just sounds better to me.

That's a great idea! I've noticed that nobody views that forum either. I'm sure forum helpers would go view that forum a lot more if the primary purpose was to ask for opinions on projects instead of just advertising. I also - like bigpuppy - like the name better.

Yes support! I would love to feed feedback in the show and tell thread for a game I made.
I think that is better. That way it shows that those forums are for advertising, and it adds the feedback suggested. Besides how are you going to get feedback on a studio? I feel that advertising in the tittle would include them. I guess, but I think “Advertising and feedback” forum is probably a little better?
I would greatly appreciate if you were to check of this game I spent months that includes plot and bosses here https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/97452006/ ………………………………………Want a detailed review or idea?
I'm a major fan of Pokemon, Undertale and the Pija and Toast series.
I am doing a shiny scramble of pokemon Pearl. I'm 7 chapters in and on my way to the 2nd gym.

No Support. What's wrong with Show and Tell? Besides, not everybody knows what “Critique and Feedback” means.

They can search up: “Critique definition” and “feedback definition”. Also, they're commonly used words, so even if they don't know what they mean and have to search up the definition, they'll be learning two words that they'll definitely see a lot. “Show and Tell” pretty much just means “advertise here” for many people (and almost nobody checks there), but renaming it to “Critique and Feedback” will most likely make people view it more often, if only to actually provide criticism and feedback on the projects they see (helping in the process).

Semi-support. Some people want others to view their projects but aren't necessarily asking for critique or feedback. Maybe have Critique and Feedback as a sub-forum of the Show and Tell?
Check out Life Raft Survival, my new advanced sandbox survival game with crafting, building, transportation, weather events, tropical storms, and more!
In the game you're stranded at sea after a mysterious crash and must survive in an unforgiving tropical island environment collecting resources and crafting, in an attempt to finally be rescued.

Kind of what many people do want, actually. One of the main complaints for Scratch 3.0 was that it looks too “baby-ish” to lots of people, mostly due to the flat colours and excessive padding. So, it's clear people want it to be more grown-up and professional.NO NO NO THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WANT more grown up.

Does that mean that everyone has to search up complicated words just so they can abandon simply words?They can search up: “Critique definition” and “feedback definition”. Also, they're commonly used words, so even if they don't know what they mean and have to search up the definition, they'll be learning two words that they'll definitely see a lot. “Show and Tell” pretty much just means “advertise here” for many people (and almost nobody checks there), but renaming it to “Critique and Feedback” will most likely make people view it more often, if only to actually provide criticism and feedback on the projects they see (helping in the process).

Citation please for the statement “renaming it to ‘Critique and Feedback’ will most like make people view it more often”.
