Discussion Problem
Is it just me, or does Scratch need a better way to access discussions. I think there needs to be another button on the top called “Discussions.” If there already is anything like this, please tell me because this doesn't make sense to me.

This actually used to be a thing, but it was deleted. This is rejected though, I can't get the source, though, I'm in a rush.

do you mean:
9.1 Bring back the “Discuss” button
The Discuss button was removed for reasons that may not be 100% clear to some users, but it will not be coming back. In general, the forums are not as restricted as the main website is, in terms of post content. For instance, users can post images on the forums, write Scratch blocks on the forums, and write and edit posts of up to 200,000 characters, none of which is possible on the main website. These options allow for more spam and misuse, especially for new forum users who are not aware of how the forums work. It is suggested that Scratchers learn of the forums through other Scratchers, who direct them to the correct forums as needed.
A very good detailed analysis for why the Discuss button may have been removed can be found on this post.
