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! Since I'm a new scratcher, I won't be able to edit it for a few days.

I'd put “TOLORS” (the official list oof rejected suggestions) in the abbreviations. It's basically always referenced in the suggestions forum

Reporting to be stickied because idk where this belongs

I'd add Rolling On (the) Floor, Laughing, AKA ROFL
