Hi! I'm @RecessFailsOffical. This is my signature, where I am allowed to advertise, blockspam, etc. It goes under every post I make. I know I spelled Official wrong in my username because I made this account when I was like 2. I'm in 7th Grade, I like coding and I want to be a software developer when I grow up.

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.

Yeah, but it encourages people to elaborate more.

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”.

Techno-CAT wrote:
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.

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.

aaaah yes, making it harder to make good suggestions would be AMAZING

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!!!

The hide block would be a block that can hide the current sprite. It would be in “Looks” because it changes the sprite's appearance. It could be used if you were trying to make the sprite do something later in your project, but not at a designated time.

So many people say the same thing. I'm literally going to add it to the OP now.

I know people can spam text, but it encourages people to elaborate more. People that are *something* enough to not explain their suggestion in less than 200 characters.

Please read through the thread before replying or making an argument.

I made an incredibly simple suggestion and the OP is 240 characters long (excluding the hyperlink and tags).

EDawg2011 wrote:
According to English grammar, the first letter of the first and last words of a title must always be capitalized; the “Account settings” thing just sticks out like an ugly sore thumb. It can't take more than a few minutes to fix it, can it?

Also, here's a message informing you when your suggestion is below the character requirement.

Your suggestion must be at least 200 characters long (excluding the title). Try explaining it in more depth.

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/747346/?page=1#post-7864829 - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.

You can get a lot of detail in under 100 words without adding in worthless statements that add nothing to the suggestion.
The bare minimum to a suggestion is that it makes sense, so no minimum word count would allow this to remain.

That's spam and that'd get a post removed

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’

200 isn't that much once you actually type it out. If you care about your suggestion, then you should say more about it, so people will be less confused and it'd be easier to work out problems.
