Rename Questions About Scratch to Questions

AFNNetworkK12

Because the forum category is “About Scratch”, so it already clarifies the “about scratch” part.

AFN!

that's a good point, but if it was just named questions I think there'd be a lot more nonrelated questions because people didn't realise the category

Hi, I'm Kat!
I'm not too active in the forums anymore, but I'm still active on scratch!
I'm a cohost of Scratch Writing Camp, running it with Alba, Birdi, Bakie, and Honey.

I love coding, maths (especially simultaneous equations and the quadratic formula!!!), art and writing (and also spreadsheets and responsibilities-)! I used to know 157 digits of pi, but I can only get to around 110 at the moment. I also love Minecraft :]

Here's some things I have been in the past:
- Forum helper member
- Buzzy Bee Banners secretary & banner maker
- Emerald Shop 4.0 Vice President

I'm not sure, but I think it is a bit more obvious that it is suggestions for scratch.

The description of Questions about Scratch can cover that, I just noticed.

No support.

Many people get the “suggestions” and “requests” forums mixed up, even though the descriptions of both forums explicitly state their purposes with no possibility of confusing the two: “discuss ideas for making improvements to Scratch” and “looking for something? Want to offer your skills to others?”

People don't pay that much attention to the descriptions.

I think that we've noticed that having “about Scratch” in QaS is redundant, however that's likely because we've all used the Scratch forums quite a bit and know how things operate. Personally, I haven't seen that many people confuse Suggestions and Requests, even with the forum activity I've done, but based on your statement, would you support having Suggestions become “Suggestions for Scratch” and Requests become “Requests for Users”?

Yes, I would.

I think a little redundancy is a good thing, when it comes to this. I really don't want anybody thinking that they can post a question on any topic on the forums.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.
