If it's included in one of the sticky's you shouldn't need to bump it. Let others have their time on the first page - especially those who need help.

not as it's purpose, but I do want people to actually bother to read it.

And don't you think every other person who has created a tutorial or a ‘come to us for help’ post in the forum wants the same thing for their post? I'm really not a fan of anything that gets bumped regularly and reduces the space on the front page for people actually wanting help.

A very useful trick is giving custom blocks (especially ones with operators inside) longer, more descriptive names.

Example: Instead of “generate” and two numbers and a logic operator, use:

“generate level (first number) on difficulty (second number) door outside unlocked? (logic operator)”

This is especially useful for remixers who want to understand what some script does.

We cannot answer every question, but I bet we can answer any question.

Yes-labelling is very important. I complete an operator line 2 screenwidths wide, come back to it a week later, release it was unlabelled and not have a clue of how it works or what it is XD
