Capitalise “new topic”

"I Think This Could Possibly Be Just Ever So Slightly Unneeded For The Forums"

I think all of the “no support because it's unnecessary” suggestions are a bit redundant. What is a “necessary” suggestion, then? All of these suggestions are ideas that the Scratch Team can choose to do if they want. Even if some ideas are good ideas, none of them are “necessary” per se.

Pretty sure the OP means to capitalize “topic,” not just “New.”

Happy almost-mid 2024! My favorite book series are Percy Jackson, The Unwanteds, and Keeper of the Lost Cities! I've read all of the books.

Here's a Scratch Partners studio you can join if you're new OR if you want to help out someone new!

It is now called “New topic” and not “new topic” so possibly I hope that is what you mean.

It was always called “New topic” even when I used the forums in 2020.

I think you're drastically undermining how important being professional is, especially on a site meant for education, where parents and schools will be using it often and being very observant.

This is literally useless. Why would anyone care about being professional on a website intended for eight to sixteen-year-olds? Even if some other person did care, it wouldn't be cantankerous to live without one letter being capitalized.

LOL
Also, I feel like I remember people complaining about “Account settings” too, so yea.. and there was someone recently who made sth about “discouraging posts with writing like this: I Am On A Computer”

The original poster means topic as well, like with what I stated above.

It's a bit ironic, since I feel like the same users who are against this suggestion are also people who said on the “discourage users from using improper grammar” suggestion that improper grammar bothered them. Evidently, grammatical errors actually do bother people. I think what's really happening is that people are desperately trying to poke holes, desperately finding reasons not to support it, instead of looking at my from an unbiased angle and thinking about whether the pros outweigh the cons.

And in this case, I do think the pros outweigh the cons. As mentioned before, I think you're drastically undermining how important being professional is, especially on a site meant for education, where parents and schools will be using it often – there's an issue: marketing. The Scratch Team wants to, in a sense, convince teachers that Scratch offers something that other sites like Snap! don't have. First impressions matter, especially in business. But I won't get too deep into this because it's a relatively minor, yet slightly more helpful, change.

So let's see:

PROS

Grammatical accuracy
Sets a slightly better first impression for parents and teachers
Requires very little development time and funding

CONS

Not technically needed

Minor improvements to the site with virtually no cons whatsoever, are completely fine. And in this case, I think the pros outweigh the (non-existent) cons.

Scratch Captilisation rules is that if 2 words are paired together, both of them should be capitalised unless the second word is a preposition. “topic” is not a preposition so it needs to be capitalised.

No suggestion is necessary and if it is than it’s a bug report - and this seems like a bug to me, it’s definitely unintentional as it doesn’t follow the scratch capitalisation rules.

They/He/It/She in order of preference

A little part of me dies inside when someone says, “He/She” instead of just using they-

Try to refrain from saying, ‘No support’. It comes off as extremely negative. “The forums are for criticism! Don't post it you don't want it!” Agreed. But I never said that you should agree with everyone. No suggestion will ever be perfect
What sounds more constructive?
“No support, people would spam with it”
“This would lead to a lot of spam, since people can't get away from it. Not to mention, it might upset a few people with the way it's implemented”

In #1, you didn't help OP at all. You said you didn't like it, and why. Nothing else. Not even what was causing the issue of spam
In #2, you pointed out the flaws and the root causes of them. Flaws shouldn't always get a suggestion absolutely ignored

And simply supporting doesn't always help either. It's not a voting system, it's improving your ideas. There's going to be cons, there's going to be flaws, and that's the point of the suggestions. No suggestion is ever 100% perfect in any way
Here are some things you can look out for:
-Are there any flaws/cons that haven't been addressed or fixed?
-Is this idea fully flushed out? Or are there some questions you can ask?
-Are there any flaws that you know how to fix or do you know how to flush something out a bit more?
-Is there anyone else who is confused and needs some clarification?

If you don't have to do any of these, then you can move on!

Is a suggestion unable to be added because it's just impossible? Point out why and have them decide what to do next
But still, try not to say ‘no support’

stop spelling capitallization wrong
it you wanted it to be ‘professional’ you would've spelt your username “Determenter” (also not an actual word, making a site for little kids “less professional”)

Dertermenter is British and therefore spells it differently. He isn't being hypocritical in his post.
