A question around what belongs where

KokichiUchiha

My question right now is around whether a newspaper company belongs in the Requests topic or the Collaboration topic. I seem to have forgot.

If you have a team of people, it belongs in Collaboration. The Requests forum is to request a piece of art, some code, or other things that you need for Scratch, while Collaboration is a team working on something Scratch-related. I have seen some Scratch News Team on the Collaboration Forum, so it should be fine to post it there

Hope this helps!

Are you and a group of other users working on a project about a newspaper company, or are you allowing users to request a newspaper article? If it’s neither of the above, this would not belong in either forum.

Well, I saw this other famous-at-the-time newspaper company like a year ago and nobody corrected what topic they were in but I do remember it was in Requests or Collaboration. It was definitely in the discuss forum although.

If you are advertising it, then it belongs in the Show and Tell section. Could you clarify exactly what you are putting in the forum post? Do you plan on asking for help with it, telling other people about it or something else?

Mainly? Is there anything else you need help with?

When I say ‘mainly, i meant that that’s mainly what i needed to know just to be sure and that part i need is just a name of a custom newspaper company.

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a ban.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is irrelevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

switch backdrop to [internet v]

are blockspam, and must be reported.
