Please Read Before Posting Tests and YouTube Links, Try This Instead!

Tophatted-

I've seen a lot of topics in Things I'm Reading and Playing that are either tests or youtube links, with no other purpose. This is not what this forum is intended for, it's meant for discussions about things you're reading, playing, or watching outside of Scratch. As the description of this forum said, “Discuss books, TV, movies, art, music, or videogames that inspire you.”

Please don't make topics exclusively for tests or youtube links. If you want to test out something, write a post but don't submit it, then you can go to the toolbar above your post.

Click on the green checkmark icon to the far right.

Then, you can preview your post and any links. After you've previewed it, click the text saying “Go back” to the right of the “Submit” button.

Keep in mind that if you're making a Youtube video, then a topic about it should be allowed on the Things I’m Making and Creating forum. Please make it clear there that you are the one who made it or else it will be closed. If you want to test out Scratchblocks, you can go here.

this was mostly taken from this post on TIMAC, although this has a few minor edits. proof i was allowed to do this

hi im tophatted

Crispydogs101

I saw that you were allowed to do it. I'm reporting to be stickied! This would help out a ton since youtube link spam is an issue for the TIRAP.
Next up let's see if Paddle would accept it! I think he will since non of the guides say anything about it.
Update: It got stickyed! Congrats!

Worth a shot! We still have some room in the stickies for this forum. Thanks for making this

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.

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a ban.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is irrelevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end

ExampleScratcher2 (second post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>
broadcast [eat dorito chip v]
end
say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

Congrats on the sticky!
You might wanna update the link to the scratchblocks testing topic, as it's outdated.

woah what happened

Do we need to close this since this is like a one page only topic?

Working on an RPG. Consistently losing followers because of inactivity.
I head to forums time-to-time. Not as much as I used to.

Oh, probably.
It doesn’t make sense to keep it open as there isn’t really anything to discuss.
Closing…

Closing yet again, just had to make an edit. (thanks to Paddle for reopening)
