The AAA is not advertising, they are trying to END advertising. BIG difference

See I got 100 followers quick, and that WHOLE time I never asked for a follow. I think that's a key component. That's just advice

Thanks so much for clarifying this! I recently stopped doing f4f because it was starting to get repetitive, and I didn't have the guts to decline since I didn't want to start an argument or simply being called rude. This is a good clarification for new Scratchers too!

Follow your heart!

This was a great help! We need to stop advertising because it's hurtful to others. I've gotten spams lately and its annoying me a lot, I've deleted them all though. It's hurtful to all you guys who have gotten advertisements and spams. Although I am not a famous scratcher I do get a lot of spams. People need to stop making studios for advertising.
:) Thank you for all reading and I hope you guys understand this. This is important and we need to spread the news to stop it.

Community Guidelines, including being respectful and friendly. There are several topics that we would like to address to continue to keep the site friendly.Scratch is a big community and it is important that everyone follow the
AdvertisingWe understand that you want other people to see your projects.. However, misplaced advertising or spamming links is not friendly or respectful to other users.
Where is it okay to advertise?
There are many ways that you can share your projects with others that we don’t consider to violate the Community Guidelines, including:Where is it not okay to advertise?
- The ‘About Me’ and ‘What I'm Working’ on fields of your profile
- Changing the Featured Project on your profile
- Leaving a comment on your own profile
- Your forum signature in the Discussion Forums
- In the Show and Tell area of the Discussion Forums (make a new topic for your project)
- In Studios that are designed for advertising
- In Studios that have a theme similar to your project (to ask that your project be added to the Studio)
Any place where your ad would be considered “off-topic”, such as:Note that “asking for feedback” (with no specifics) for one of your projects could still be considered advertising. However, inviting somebody to enjoy one of your projects that is similar to one of theirs might be considered okay, since you are sharing an interest. We ask that you do not post more than one such comment, and avoid doing this at all on projects which are featured on the Scratch homepage.
- Comments on someone else's project
- Comments on someone else's profile (possible exception - maybe your followers profiles would be okay - but you might want to check with them first)
- On areas of the Discussion Forums other than Show and Tell
- In Studios that are not relevant to the project you are advertising
Follow-for-Follow (f4f)Follow-for-Follow, also called f4f, is when a Scratcher invites another Scratcher to become a follower by promising to do the same for them. It is allowed on Scratch. However, it can also be considered spamming or misplaced advertising if you repeatedly post this type of request. We ask that you be respectful of other Scratchers and do not spam Follow-for-follow (f4f) comments.finally i know what F4F means! thanks!
Following is intended to make it easy to see what another Scratcher is doing. It's a great way to build friendships through shared interests. Just getting more followers should not be your goal - what's important is building strong relationships with other Scratchers and having fun through sharing with them.
That being said, there is no denying that more followers often leads to more views for projects and perhaps more incentive to continue making projects. So it's understandable that some Scratchers try to increase the number of followers they have by offering f4f. However, choosing to follow someone is always a voluntary choice. If you are not interested in following somebody when they ask you (whether it's through an f4f request or any kind of request), just politely decline.

Yes Most people now call asking for feedback advertising. Would you agree?

I agree it is quite good that many people come and find this studio, but I wish all of Scratch (but griffpatch) would/could. It would be good to tell people. ![](//cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__4c608293c8b71964310d62f44200b9ba__/djangobb_forum/img/smilies/smile.png)
