Hello, and have a warm welcome to Scratch!2013?? Wow
We're glad to have you as part of the community! We know how being new to something is like being lost in a forest at first, so I'm here to provide some tips and tricks on how to get involved with the Scratch community, and get to know everyone!
• A good way to get started in the community would be posting a topic in the New Scratchers forum. That will help you recognize some members in the community, and possibly meet new friends who will help you! Your topic doesn't have to be a long biography, you keep keep it short if that's what your comfortable with the most. For some ideas, you might want to check out this guide to Making a First Impression by ForeverArtist.
• A simple way to get familiar to the program would be just experimenting with the project editor! It's a good and quick way to discover the features quickly on your own. Who knows - You might create a fascinating project along the way! Never hurts to play around with the program for a while.
• Another good way to get involved with the community would be posting on the forums often. Helping others, posting on discussion threads, reporting glitches to the Scratch Team, all that can help you get involved!
• Don't be shy to ask anyone if you need to ask a question. All of us will be happy to help a New Scratcher in need, and will definitely do the best we can to help. If you are looking for help currently, good places to check out would be the following forums below:
- Help With Scripts: Need help with your Scratch project? Ask here!

Community Guide: How to Avoid Blockspam on the Scratch Forums
Welcome to Scratch! Whether you're just starting out or helping others, this guide will help you understand what blockspam is, why it matters, and how to post in a way that helps everyone.
What Is Blockspam?
Blockspam is when someone posts large amounts of Scratch blocks in a forum thread without context, purpose, or explanation. It can look like:
Huge walls of code with no description
Repeated or random blocks that don’t do anything
Posting blocks just to show off or flood the thread
❗ Why Is Blockspam a Problem?
Blockspam can:
Make it hard to find helpful posts
Slow down the forum for others
Discourage new users from participating
Create extra work for moderators
✅ How to Post Blocks the Right Way
If you want to share code, here’s how to do it constructively:
Explain Your Code: What does it do? Why are you sharing it?
Keep It Short: Only include the blocks needed to make your point.
Use the “scratchblocks” Tag: Format your code neatly so it’s easy to read.
Ask a Question or Offer Help: Make your post interactive and useful.
Tips for New Scratchers
Read Before You Post: See how others share code and follow their lead.
Ask for Feedback: If you’re unsure, ask if your post is helpful.
Be Respectful: Forums are for everyone—let’s keep them welcoming!
️ What to Do If You See Blockspam
Don’t Reply to It: That can make the problem worse.
Report It: Use the report button to let moderators know.
Encourage Better Posting: Kindly guide others to this guide or offer tips.
Final Thoughts
The Scratch forums are a place to learn, share, and grow. By posting thoughtfully, we help keep them awesome for everyone. Let’s work together to make the New Scratchers forum a space where creativity thrives—not where spam takes over.
