scratcher handbook: a website with all scratch policies listed & explained

i_eat_coffee

scratch rules are confusing, so i made this
https://scratcher-handbook.glitch.me/
the scratcher handbook
all (?) scratch policies explaind in simple language
if i missed anything lmk
might add an AI soon that answers questions about rules
this would be nice to lessen the amount of people from asking “can I report X” or “is Y allowed” or “can I do Z”
you just link the website and it explains everything
i will add a FaQ section with copyable links too
thank you

Suggestion: put this list into a post and ask for it to be stickies in QaS

Generation 4: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment.

unfortunately there are already too many guides and it will probably be closed if i try, a website is better also because it has a lot more interactivity

That would be a problem to add, since it could give misinformation, leading the user to believe it, then the user might do the action, then when it doesn't work out believe that you intentionally misled them, thus leading to many undesirable outcomes (including you possibly getting sued)

This is the start of my signature.

lmao I'm gonna use gemini nano, it will scan the page and only answer what is on the page, and even if it does say dumb things, no one is getting sued

an FAQ should be, can I use laf detectors, or can I use a lot of tags in my project?

This post may have inaccurate info. If so, bear with me.

An potato resides in my signature but left my milestone, how nice.

Just two suggestions…

but always credit the original creator [in a remix]
You can clarify that you do not need to credit the original creator in a remix as they are already included in the attribution panel, see https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/417686/
“Bring up my post” is a backronym, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum#Bumping

Considering 50%+ of people new to the forums seem to never read the stickies, we still will, we just will have this to link to as well as the QaS directory 7.

The original name of “loves” was “love-its”. Technically speaking, this hasn't changed.

yeah we'll probably still see them. Might help a little bit though.
