Instead of punishing people for not reading the stickies, why not just make the stickies more clear? They just look like normal topics now.

Some kids are just excited to share their ideas with the community without looking up obscure rules first. You're not “suffering”, and these people aren't “ignorant”. Cool it, and stop acting like this is some sort of crusade

No support
I think is better a pop-up adviceing to read stickied topics when an user is reported by some related with reason.

Counter for 2:

Stickies are a must read for each and every single user on Scratch. They detail what to post, what not to post, basic rules and guidelines, etc.


I support, but not for a punishment. Maybe a big orange notice, like the email verification one, reminding users to read the stickies? Maybe it can only be removed once the user has read the stickies?

No support for saying it must be read. People shouldn't be annoyed and overflowed with mail telling them to read the stickies.

But then, people post things like, “Add a receive message block!” or “Change my username!” question.

Are you serious?

No support because Scratch is a friendly place where we share projects, and not a place where we ban people for not reading the obscure details of every letter of the rules.

Oh yeah. Right now the closest thing to a “distinguished” sticky topic is, well, a row of @@@@@@@@ signs: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/4/

There should be some feature that allows an admin to distinguish a thread. That way it can really stick out: Read This Before Suggesting Anything

Edit: Btw there's absolutely nothing stopping you from, like, not clicking on threads that you feel are spammy. You're under no obligation to reply “Really? Read the stickies” or something like that either. Just report and move on.

I don't get what you're saying, hello! Come on, what are you talking about?

Hello Example_Scratcher,

Your post here does not follow the guideline mentioned in a sticky, more specifically this one.

Please read stickies before posting in the forums,

Scratch Team

Why not just have a notice and keep them from posting anything until after reading relevant stickies? They would still be able to do anything else, just not use the forums until they read the relevant stickies. Actually, why not just combine the relevant stickies and make it pop up the first time they enter the forums, as well as why them have to read it?

I'm not sure if I've posted on here before, but I think a warning system would be better. Everyone always makes mistakes, but if they don't learn from them the first time (aka doing them again after finding out the first time), bad things happen.
