Slang:

Ninja'd: Used on the forums when someone posted before you, saying the same thing that you did, but they posted when you were typing.

Sig/Siggy: Slang for signature, the little thing that appears at the end of your posts.

Sticky: A topic that is helpful stuck at the top so it can't be bumped down.

Shop: A topic in the Requests forum where a user can request something be made for them.

Dupe/Duplicate: If the same topic has been made earlier, used to link to the other topic

Bump: Filler post to bump your topic to the 1st page.

ITopic: the same as a sticky but doesn’t constantly stay at the top of the forums. (we got iTopic'd)

Tag: Things that change your text, such as [scratchblocks] [b] [/big] etc

Evil Kumquat: A kumquat that eats signatures, They aren't actually real, they are only a trend started by Scratch Team member cheddargirl.

Necropost: Sometimes called a “necrobump”, a necropost is when a user unconstructively posts on an old topic.

Blockspam: Unneedily large chunks of spam using the [scratchblocks] tag. According to Paddle2See, small blockspam is allowed like the example below but large chunks that obviously lag the site aren't allowed. Also, using scratchblocks as a formatting choice is OK.

when gf clicked
say [This is not blockspam]

But the below (times a lot) isn't allowed as it's offtopic.

when green flag clicked
forever
forever
forever
forever
say []
think []
next costume()
if <> then
say []
pen up
hide list [ v]
show list [<[ v] contains [thing] ?> v]
end
end
end
end
end

That's it! If there is anything missing, tell me!

Nice!

Ok, back on-topic!

Okay! I guess I'll reserve this post as well. XD

O_O this was iTopic'd twice….

Sort of.

What about TIMAC & TIRAP? (Things I'm Making and Creating + Things I'm Reading and Playing) I see those abbreviations used plenty, and could be worth adding.

You don't need to quote the entire post.
Also, how about AD (art dump)?

Nice! A couple of issues:

1. Seems like you are missing the bold on some Scratch-related terms.
   
2. As for Blockspam - Blockspam is spam that uses Scratchblocks. It can be any size. However, if the message in the post is on-topic it is not spam - even if it is using Scratchblocks strictly as a formatting choice.

Ah, ok. I copy-pasted it from the original topic so it would have some formatting issues.

EDIT: I fixed all issues mentioned in thew above quote.
