Stop featuring Scratch Team studios, instead a row for them

Olimon7661

Maybe it's just me. But it feels like Featured Projects + Studios should be for the community? Not the owners? We have the announcements forum, we don't post in TIRAP. We have the Scratch News tab, we're not using the What's Happening? tab. But ST made studios go in featured studios. obamamedalmeme.png moment ToT So. What I'm proposing is “Studios by The Scratch Team”. The name's a WIP. But! It's useful as it still lets the community get some of the limelight while also going “HEY! SCRATCH WEEK IS ON! CHECK IT OUT! There's also a real cool s'mores studio. Check that out too.”. It both lets you know what's happening, and shows you a cool thing you can participate in. As always, remember to be constructive and state why you support. Thanks for reading.

We could just… make the name active voice and say “Scratch Team's Studios.”

to be honest scratch team made studios only appear once in a while so there's not much use in making a separate row

I feel like it would be good to separate the ST's studios from the rest.
It can help other people's featured studios not get overshadowed by the SDS and whatnot (well, it depends where the rows are placed).

Well maybe it could be dynamic or something idk.

I did. You haven't explained why this should be added.

I totally agree!

There could be a potential issue where outdated ST studios still get a lot of traction, like for instance Scratch Day studios once the event is over.
I see two possible solutions to this problem:
1. Only feature one or two ST studios at a time
2. Close the comments of the outdated studio

But why do they do self-promotion anyway?

Hmm…I see where your idea is coming from. They usually only do this for larger events, but yes, I feel like they should stick to the ‘Scratch News’ section. Bump!

I had the same concern. Closing the comments could theoretically work, but it seems a little strange to advertise a Scratch Team studio on the front page only for the comments to be closed.
