You should add about not posting multiple suggestions in the same topic.

Seriously I think we need a new guide, this guide stopped updating almost 3 years ago.

Welcome!
Welcome to the guide to the suggestions forum! This is the place on the best ways to make topics proposing ideas for Scratch and what you should do on other suggestions.
Before making a suggestion
Do not make list of suggestions That are not relevant to each other. It is better to make a topic for each suggestion so the discussion in a thread stays focused on one suggestion. See this post for more information.

Is your suggestion rejected? You can just quickly search if it is using the keyboard shortcut CTRL/Command + F.
Is your suggestion a duplicate? You can search it up using the keyboard shortcut CTRL/Command + F on the suggestions directory and/or search your title you are going to use with ocular. Type your title in the title speech marks and press enter. Remember - even if a suggestion topic is really old, your suggestion will still be a duplicate of it if they are suggesting the same idea.
Making a suggestion
1. Title
Title your suggestion clearly. Here are some example titles for someone who wants to suggest a Redesign for profile pages:

Person wrote:

My Suggestion

This is not a good title as it tells nothing about what your suggestion is about.

Person wrote:

Redesigns for Scratch

This is still not a good title as it is vague and has redundancy. Of course, it is for Scratch, so without the redundancy, we have “redesigns” which does not tell what the user wants to redesign.

Person wrote:

Redesign for Profile pages

This is a good title - clear and concise.
2. Write
Write your suggestion as clear as you can with reasoning backing why you want your idea to be implemented. Always remember to follow the community guidelines as well.
3. Add
If someone suggests something to add to your suggestion or something to make it better, consider it.
Is it something you like? Is it something that still fits in with your original suggestion?
If it is, then add it to your suggestion.
People may disagree with your suggestion. If that happens, do not start a “flame war” and instead politely tell them your thoughts on their feedback. If it is reasonable, try to offer a solution to the problem.
Bumping

• Only bump your topic if it is been 24 hours since the last post and it is not on the front page.
  
• Only bump if you believe your topic can get more discussion on it. If most posts are bumps and it seems no one wants to discuss your suggestion, bump it less frequently or even stop bumping it altogether.
  

Responding to suggestions

• If do say you like/don’t like an idea, please go into further detail about why, although always try to give feedback as well.
  
• When responding to suggestions, always try to look for opportunities to make the suggestion better as this helps an idea expand. It is very constructive.
  
• If you disagree with a suggestion, try not to say “no support” as that puts your post in a negative tone.
  
• Overall, the support convention (which is saying support/semi-support/no support) is not that useful to the forums as a voting system is not needed - the constructive reasoning on your post is what matters. See this post for more information.
  
• When responding to suggestions, try and bring up something that has not been said.
  
• Whilst it is fine to compare other ideas on topics, please do not derail topics by trying to discuss another suggestion, unless that suggestion is trying to improve that one.
  
• If the topic is still relevant (suggestion hasn't been added/suggestion to fix a bothering issue) then it is always OK to post on it if it is constructive no matter the age of the topic.
  

If you think there is anything else I can add, feel free to let me know!
