Exactly! When did they implement DjangoBB? We really need a forums overhaul. But I’m getting off topic.

Then our forums are 10 years old then. The forums need an overhaul and this proposed bot could go along with it. The forums are missing features like direct image uploads, different fonts, up-to-date Scratch blocks, etc.

11 years old actually some posts are from 2012. A bot that can do specific things on the forums or link dupes from the directory could be a good idea. And a direct image upload from a drive to assets.scratch.mit.edu can be used better in a jiffy then having to use a image service. And for the blocks. Maybe it's better to just keep them to have a lil classyness. But if modern sound better we can go for 3.0 blocks.

I have an idea: What if it detects if it's rejected before the post is even published? Like before you post it, it shows a warning like:

Hold on! This suggestion may have been rejected by the Official Rejected Lists of Suggestions:

8.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

Please check the stickies before posting.

Yes because 2023 - 2012 = 11 + 0

Yea I wish it looked for potentially similar topics and showed you them, or that they brought back forum searching since that used to exist.

I like how it looks, but it's a bit outdated. Most of the forum websites made with DjangoBB are gone, and the DjangoBB website itself looks more broken than my phone falling down the stairs /hj

Either way, couldn't it just be possible to use some other programming language to read the posts, then combine it with any free ai like ChatGPT, bing, etc. and respond like that?

edit: just look at the website: http://djangobb.org/

especially this part:

Definitely! Getting back on topic is a great idea. Now, shouldn’t we be discussing about improvements to the AI?

If you can think of a workaround, please continue writing this topic and posting it.

No support, the ai could get confused, for example:

Lets say someone suggests something that could get mixed up with a rejected suggestion, changing users.

And he types: this is NOT changing users

The ai could get confused thinking it is changing usernames.

And good news for god sake, chatGPT is getting sued so they cant do it for scratch haha perfect timing

And there are moderators that take care of these stuff

And last point, ai arent purrfect

Semi support. The bot may be wrong.

I will full support if they added a This seems wrong… button (it reports to be re opened and tells the st to fix it), and a Thanks button.
