at least it's something — right now you don't even have to say anything. nonetheless, most people probably wouldn't think to add a bunch of random stuff anyways.

support, i think people only writing “+1” or “support” without any explanation isn't very constructive, so this would be a good addition.
it also makes gen alpha's and gen z's use more than one brain cell

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.

What about style commands? I still don't know if they'll count or not.

Making a counterargument? Look here first!
An evil kumquat ate my first username lol

I took a break from the forums because it did a number on my mental health and made me consider some not so good choices. I came back because I thought I was ready, but I feel like I can still barely handle it, even with staying away from most drama hotspots…

I don't know if I made the right choice

Try to refrain from saying, ‘No support’. It comes off as extremely negative. “The forums are for criticism! Don't post it you don't want it!” Agreed. But I never said that you should agree with everyone. No suggestion will ever be perfect
What sounds more constructive?
“No support, people would spam with it”
“This would lead to a lot of spam, since people can't get away from it. Not to mention, it might upset a few people with the way it's implemented”

In #1, you didn't help OP at all. You said you didn't like it, and why. Nothing else. Not even what was causing the issue of spam
In #2, you pointed out the flaws and the root causes of them. Flaws shouldn't always get a suggestion absolutely ignored

And simply supporting doesn't always help either. It's not a voting system, it's improving your ideas. There's going to be cons, there's going to be flaws, and that's the point of the suggestions. No suggestion is ever 100% perfect in any way
Here are some things you can look out for:
-Are there any flaws/cons that haven't been addressed or fixed?
-Is this idea fully flushed out? Or are there some questions you can ask?
-Are there any flaws that you know how to fix or do you know how to flush something out a bit more?
-Is there anyone else who is confused and needs some clarification?

If you don't have to do any of these, then you can move on!

Is a suggestion unable to be added because it's just impossible? Point out why and have them decide what to do next
But still, try not to say ‘no support’

For some people, they might not be able to explain it well, or get that many words in because it's just self explanatory. No support.

press ctrl+shift+q twice quickly or cmd+shift+q twice quickly on Mac

I just realized the controller support button that is in EVERYBODY's signature is just as useless as a cup with a hole in it
I also just realized this signature is previous signatures stacked on top of each other, and I'm too emotionally attached to them I can't LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Guys, you can explain dark mode into further detail. You can explain a lot into further detail.

From the OP of the Dark Theme suggestion, there are 202 characters, excluding “Hello” and “Techno”.

The dark theme existed in Scratch 1x, but the developers got rid of it in 2x.

Why not re-implement it? Sometimes bright white can be straining to the eyes, hence need for an option to enable a dark mode.

support. I think the dark mode example really puts into perspective just how little 200 characters actually is. I mean, saying you want something and why you want something is often enough to reach the limit.

did you see the above sentence? that's 208 characters. it's not that much.

I think that would be considered spam(?)
It's unnecessary letters and they aren't needed. That would get taken down

I never talked about dark mode, WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT DARK MODE!?!?!?!?!!?!!??!!?!?!?
Like some other people said, this would encourage people to spam because they just can't explain it any further. Not all ideas need much explaining…do not sue me over dark mode. Sure, you could also put reasoning in there, but what if you don't have any more reasoning. This would also make suggestions harder to make, as it would be quite difficult for some people to make 200 character posts over something like…a hide block (I know this exists it's just an example.) And if people can't meet the 200 character mininum, they either commit spamming, or scrap the idea entirely.
