Sorry, but this apparently is a dupe. Click here to see the duped topic.

Testing Topics
Test topics are taking TIMAC by storm! We need a test topic forum to move these testers somewhere else! Any post you make will only be visible to you in this forum.

Mockups (can't make new forums on mobile)

To me, this sounds a lot like a misc forum/topic. And we already have the Help with Scripts sticky for scratchblocks.

Yeah I know, though it might get spammy quick and people would probably post irrelevant stuff. They dustbinned it because they don't want those kinds of topics on the forums.

This one isn't dustbinned https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/659301/ other got dustbinned as soon as I posted link

Yeah, but it was recently made so they could of just not seen it.
Edit: could have LOLL
And that one was just dustbinned.

Definitely no support. These types of topics clutter up the forums, and making a test forum will be hard to moderate (and making a forum for these sounds like a misc. forum, which is rejected)

Workaround: Use the check mark button in the row above “message” but not actually posting the topic

1 - please title this better I thought you were testing something
2 - isn't this technically rejected?

It's not a misc forum, it's only for testing, and you can only see your own posts there anyway. Some people don't know about the checkmark, and test topics make lots of clutter.

There's still a visible difference between the two forums

Bump since new mockups and clarifications

You mean like this?

Maybe make this not count towards the total? Also how would they moderate this or cover this? What if people just post a lot of stuff there, and since no one can see it except them..

I need you to think about this a bit more. If nobody can see it except the creator, why would they need to be moderated at all?
