You could add “nono word” since people use that phrase to refer to browser extensions, and we have to censor any extension we're mentioning because of a policy the ST created for safety reasons.

Currently, there is a moratorium on creating new guides without express approval of the moderators, although that doesn't apply to old guides created before it went into effect.

I've just added it.
Since I'm coming back from quite a long break, there's probably more stuff like this I've missed (also I might have misunderstood the meaning of it slightly, so tell me if it doesn't make complete sense)

while this is a guide, it was created before the ban, it is also very helpful.

You should add “blockspam,” when people spam using blocks. Make sure to note that talking in blocks as a style choice doesn't count as blockspam. It is a common misconception that if a post is written in blocks, it is blockspam even if it is otherwise constructive. See the wiki on blockspam.

After I wrote that, it came to mind that maybe you should also add the term “Constructive”? I'm not sure if it is really slang though.

Another one you could maybe add is “King of the Page,” which is a (recentish?) trend. It is something people sometimes say when they get the first post on the top of a page. I'm pretty sure it counts as spam if someone posts just “king of the page,” so it would be good to note that (I personally find the trend kind of annoying).

Yet another one is “ST” which is short for Scratch Team.

ResExsention has a sticky sort of similar to this one. It less of a slang directory and more of a etiquette guide though: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/355062/

Thanks for the feedback!
I've added a bit about blockspam in the spam section, and ST in the abbreviations section. I also added a section on King of the Page. I'm not sure if “Constructive” fits here, but depending on what other people think I might add it in the future. I might also add links to similar things (like the mentioned sticky by ResExsention), although I'm not sure if it makes sense to link to a sticky in a regular topic

I think there should be a part on abbreviations of the different forums (such as QaS for Questions about Scratch) to clarify what it means for new forum users. Also, you wrote ITopic twice - they are written differently, bu the meaning of both is the same.

Ah, I see what happened there. I wrote this ages ago, and when looking back through I realised there wasn't a section on ITopics (or so I thought). It was actually, there, just not in the correct order, and since I missed it I ended up rewriting it. It was still in the wrong place, somehow. Anyway, it should be fixed now. I've chosen not to write out the abbreviations of the different forums (at least at the minute), since I would just be rewriting what is already in this sticky
