Any examples?
Most of the warrior cats ones are probably a good example, there were a lot of those (or those are questions I'm remembering from QaS as I legit cannot find any of them anymore).
Isn't that already rejected under “ban a certain franchise”?

I think so.

I think that particular example, yes. But some other types of project ban suggestions, such as banning generic platformers, wouldn't qualify as being under a particular franchise.

Adding Imjur as an image host just got rejected. Not sure if this is popular enough to get added though.

Replying to SPAM is only adding more off-topic SPAM. Just report it.

4.1 Disable “See Inside” or restrict sharing
Some users want an option to prevent Scratchers from looking inside their project and using their artwork, scripts, or sounds. However, the core ideas of Scratch are "Imagine, Program, Share.“ By sharing a project on the Scratch website, you are allowing others to see the code and potentially remix or reuse the data inside, as long as they give credit. That being said, please use the Report button on any project that uses content from another Scratcher without giving credit to them. If you do not want other users to see inside your project, then do not share your project on the Scratch website.

Instead, put it on Creaticode! They have that.

I think adding rejected image hosts in general fits that.

everything below is my signature, it appears under everything I post.

Why are you here, you extension user? This is where I put my copypastas! Run along, now!

Please only create new threads here if you're a New Scratcher introducing yourself the community. Check out [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/399690/]Making a guide/welcome topic? Please read this first![/url]

Hello!  It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers.  However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment.  Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/4670/]the group welcoming topic[/url] or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the "[url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/7/]Help With Scripts[/url]" and "[url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/4/]Questions About Scratch[/url]" areas - please use them as designed, by responding to topics created by folks with problems to solve :)

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the [url=https://en.scratch-wiki.info/]Scratch Wiki[/url] - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on.   They have a number of guides - and great organization.

Could there be a note added to tell people that if they really complain about slow load times, they could just view the list from source? For example, just above general information:

NOTE
If the page load time feels too slow, view the list from source.

BBCode:

[big][b]NOTE[/b][/big]
If the page load time feels too slow, view the list from [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3466932/source/]source[/url].

And as for the Table of Contents, perhaps to this:

Click here for a table of contents with shorter explanations on why suggestions are rejected, you can also view the table of contents from its source.

BBCode again:

[url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3471785/]Click here[/url] for a table of contents with shorter explanations on why suggestions are rejected, you can also view the table of contents from its [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3471785/source/]source[/url].

I think this is a good idea! Mabye also mentioning that the Scratch foundation gets more than enough funding through donations from donors like LEGO.
Not in that exact wording, but something like that.

They were donated once by LEGO for the collaboration if I remember correctly, they do not actively give donations.

Yes, it's a one time thing. I believe it was originally for the Scratch Bit, but that project died for some reason. I wonder if finishing development for the scratch bit is rejected…

was about to say exactly the same thing. it was a bit of a hot take/idea but paddle2see did officially reject it and close my topic. however the only reason that I would hesitate adding this to the list is because paddle2see worded his rejection post like it could be something for future consideration, just not in the moment

Paddle2See (for reference) wrote:
While more income would be nice - we do worry a lot about equal access for all kids. Requiring money for Scratch - or more features if you pay - puts lower-income kids at a disadvantage. So, for now anyway, I'm pretty sure we aren't going that direction.

i never expected that this would be my most controversial forum post lol

the reason i even suggested this is because (at least to me) it looks like funds are kind of drying up and/or the funds they're getting aren't enough to upgrade servers, hire devs, and fix performance issues etc. my logic is that if scratch had enough money via donors to do these things they would already have been done. even though its technically rejected now i do think that this would be a viable option in the future to keep income flowing (even just to keep the servers ON)

I don't think it would be worth adding to the list because it's already contrary to the Community Guidelines (welcoming users of all sexual orientations) and to add it to the list, you'd just be restating the Community Guidelines we already know.

Interesting. That's a pretty fair argument. However, if it does get implemented, I don't think it would be anytime soon considering what Scratch's priorities are. Maybe in a decade or two, I could see it happening, but definitely not anytime soon. So I think it could be a good idea to add now.

It appears they already have one and it's a sticky. However, the owner hasn't updated it since 2020 and has no sign of updating it in the future. Maybe you should talk to a Scratch Team member about taking it over.
