Follow all of this forum

lordibel

This button would follow the whole forum of your choice.

Pros

This would help you stay tuned to that forum and eliminate the tediousness of checking that forum every 5 minutes to see if there are any new posts.

Cons

Too much spam?

That's why you should be wise on which topic(s) you follow. For instance, suggestions would be a no-go. Though, all the language forums and new scratchers could be something you follow.

Could be what it looks like:

yes, I know. bad mockup but I couldn't use inspect(?) because I'm on a school computer right now >:)

Following show and tell and TIMAC must be a pain

Definitely would be too much spam. I wouldn't care if this were implemented, but why? This would probably be like the “see unanswered posts” and “see latest posts” button, in my opinion.

why would you want to do that
have fun waking up to an inbox with like 100 messages
plus all of the normal activity

i sure hope osu lazer will support gnu hurd

I mean, to be fair, I don't think that's how the existing “Follow Discussion” button works. From what I can tell, I do not get one notification for every post made on a topic I follow. If someone makes a new post, I will usually get a notification, and then never get a notification again, until I actually view the topic and then someone makes a new post.

So, if this suggestion works at all like the existing “Follow Discussion” button works, then I could see this working without much spam.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

But at that point it would practically just be a “give me a constant notification” button, especially if you choose a particularly active subforum. As soon as you click on the notification it will get cleared, and then almost immediately get added again.

I was thinking about suggesting this yesterday but I changed my mind. It's not that hard to check on the subforum and notification spam would be a huge problem (
“hey, there's a new post in QaS! lemme check it out!”
*answers question*
*leaves subforum*
“oh, there's a new post!”
*repeats cycle*
) so no support.

GoogleInScratch

No support, there would be too much spam. People would just necropost and spam random stuff.

I moved to DualPikachu, meet me there!

Support if its like the current “Follow Discussion” button, maybe it'll be like:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/1/unread/
and it will only work if new posts are created, not posted on. Thats why the “Follow Discussion” button exists, so you can follow a topic on a forum.
For the Mock-Up, replace “posts” with “topics”
This will combat the “necropost and spam” issue that GIS brought up.

You would be surprised to hear that they do not. Even Scratch Cat has to discuss features with us to make sure they're good — it's called the Scratch Team, after all.

Yeah, but we all know griffpatch secretly runs the scratch team; I mean, he’s GRIFFPATCH. It would be outright dumb to not have griffpatch on the team. But, since it’s impossible for a human to make such good projects, it has to be either Scratch Cat, Gobo, Pico, and the other one. It has to be Scratch Cat, because the other one is too obscure, Pico is to busy making records, and Gobo is, well, Gobo. So, Scratch Cat in fact DOES have all the power, and the scratch team is a hoax made by NASA to distract from the fact that the moon landing was fake, the earth is flat, the government is run by lizard people, and spocite is a serial killer.

Furthermore, all the “Scratch Team members” are also fake. I mean, @Paddle2See is a robot designed to reject suggestions, @Za-Chary is, well, he might be held hostage by Gobo, I have no idea about him… All the rest though, they’re just actors…

sorry for bad mockup, you can't paste inspect element code outside of the current area

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs
