'Community Picks' - the solution to our popularity problems

Yes, they should be able to suggest them, but it should be auto rejected, and the timer (when they can suggest again) will be reset. However, the Scratcher that submitted this project won't know this. This will prevent people from thinking they can use alts to get around this.

There will be a 2 hour cooldown for adding projects to prevent spam. New Scratchers will have a 12-hour cooldown.
I think it should be changed to 24 hours for regular scratchers and [unsure]](possibly) New Scratchers aren't able to add projects, or maybe they are just auto rejected.[/unsure] This will make adding a project to the CP much more valuable of a choice, and scratchers won't be able to rush and make any hasty decisions, allowing less, and therefore likely more deserving, projects to get on CP.

'Community Picks' - the solution to our popularity problems

wow, this is a chance that underrated scratchers can finally get proposed!

i've seen a lot of underrated animation memers here on scratch, if they get proposed they can at least get some views

so support!

'Community Picks' - the solution to our popularity problems

Wow, this is a really well-made suggestion!
Full support, Scratchers could get noticed easier! But I'm unsure of what you mean by “age-appearance-view”. Could you please explain this?
Also, I believe a good name would be “Chosen by Scratch”, as the algorithm decides what is actually shown.
And I think that a Scratcher should be able to add their own projects. Some new Scratchers may not know people that are willing to add them.

Honestly, isn’t this just like a featured page but with more ambiguity about what types of projects are allowed and more restrictions regarding the popularity of the project? Also, I’m sure a project will reach 1500 views before it reaches 1000 loves, so the loves restriction probably isn’t needed. I agree with what Za-chary said about this, but since there are only 1500 views allowed I don’t think there would be that many loves I comparison.

I think this is an interesting idea though, and I think it could definitely work with a bit of polishing.
Yes, but this section focuses purely on quality, not on both quality and how much it inspires other scratchers, which is a big hurdle for most quality projects.

Back to the original topic now…

I think this is a great idea for underrated projects, but it should be on the front page, just below “Featured Projects”, otherwise the projects on Trending will eclipse the “Community Picks” section in views simply because a few scratchers are a bit too lazy to check what's picked by the community because it involves clicking an extra button and waiting for their computer to load.
