Are 'Follow4follow' allowed in Scratch?

The title says it all.

Yes although discouraged

Ok thank you for the info.

It is allowed, however, this is controversial. Some thinks it is okay because they think it doesn't break the Community Guidelines. Others think it's a bad idea, thinking that it ruins the point of followers and gets the joy out of getting it, and prefers “getting followers the honest way”.

Yep, it is, but is frowned by some of the community.

There are some people who prefer to just get followers without F4F, like getting followed so that follower can actually stay tuned with project production. You're free to do follow for follow, since it isn't against the guidelines, except some people don't like it.

They are ok but the ST is not a big fan of them.

Like everyone else said, it's allowed but discouraged.

I would advise you to stay away from it for the most part. You can do whatever you want though.

It's allowed, but the ST and the community's not exactly a big fan of the “F4F” movement. The reason why I dislike F4Fs is because they're a way to gain followers quickly. Thus, the followers count is now pointless, as it used to be an indicator of how good your projects/personality is.

I prefer to EARN my follows rather than cheat my way to followers.
I don't F4F.

its allowed, but can cause bullying.
picklehazard is a good example on someonee who got bullied from doing f4f.
i don't recommend doing it, but whateves

Some people could use F4F as a trick. This happened to me once. (On my old account.)
Someone asked me to do a F4F, and I did.
Once we did it, they unfollowed me so it seemed as if I were following them.
I noticed this sometime later and unfollowed them.
There are consequences to F4F.

Scratch is isn't about followers, that's why I didn't make a 100 follower project on happyland440.

yes a lot of people follow for follow (like me!)

Follow For Follow is allowed, but discouraged. Not many scratchers like it as it's a cheap way of getting followers and, most of the time, the person you're now following doesn't make projects you like. It's not a good or honest way to get followers- if you want followers, earn them the real way.

rushiv

yep its allowed

Should we REPORT if someone ask F4F?

-Snipet-

Speaking from experience, the joy of fame only lasts a bit anyway, even if you honorably earned it. So if you were to F4F you would get the ~same number of views that you would if you didn’t F4F.

It does not go against the community guidelines, so no. If they spam you for it, yes.
