How about can loves and favorites be used to get advantages in a project or are unrelated tags allowed? I've seen them come up a lot lately.

You basically read my mind on what I wanted to add.
For the detectors, perhaps something like this? Though, not sure how to word it or what else to really add onto it.

Q: Are love/favorite detectors allowed?
A: If favoriting and/or loving doesn't give any advantange, it is allowed. Forcing the user to favorite or love the project isn't allowed.

As for unrelated tags, I'm also unsure what else to say on it. For now I'll probably wait. Honestly this is somewhat why I felt really hesitant owning the dir, my wording is poor lol

Q: Are unrelated tags allowed?
A: No. They are dishonest, which breaks the community guidelines.

Maybe, along with “can the Scratch Team ban/unban”, a why was a user banned question be added. I've seen those come up almost as frequently.

Posted at the same second lol

Will do, though I'm in the same situation here, this is somewhat difficult to word. Maybe this?

Q: Why was _____ banned?
A: The reason as to why a user was banned is kept between them and the Scratch Team and isn't definitively answerable, all bans and punishments are for breaking rules (for example the community guidelines or policies).

I'm on a phone, I'm not quoting all that.

The love and favorite one is good, and so is the why is a user banned one.

I think the one about misleading tags should mention that it makes the project get on places it's not supposed to be on, but other than that it is good. I think you should still add it even if it is short, as some (such as “Who founded Scratch?”) are also short.

Alright then. Gonna add them. As for the unrelated tags one, I'll add it like this then:

Q: Are unrelated tags allowed?
A: No. They are dishonest, which breaks the community guidelines. It would also appear in sections of explore and other places where it's not related to or not supposed to.

shorten what sites can users link to

How? @Sliverus already condensed it enough (it was seven paragraphs before).

None of it is really condensible. It seems good as it stands.

Q: What sites can users link to?
A: Many obscure sites with private communication are not allowed to be linked on Scratch due to the ways you can communicate privately. Certain social media links are not permitted. YouTube is allowed as long it has age-appropriate content and comments and Iive streams and channels with Iive streams are not allowed.

i shortend it

Note to @Zydrolic:

If you want to include this in the OP, note that it says “iive” instead of “live”, so you might want to change it before you put in the OP – or you can just say “streams” so it can be quoted easier.

I feel like this is a lot less more clear, though it could be altered a lot, it's a bit over the place at the ending - “age appropriate content and comments and streams”, however then in the next sentence, there's a clear-up that streams aren't even allowed.

I think I'd rather keep the current one.

Um zydrolic :nerd_face: in the “where do suggestions go” question, can’t you just link the suggestion forum there, using a hyperlink instead of something to google up?

The search part is to look for whether or not it has a topic already incase the user isn't in the know about it. I'm fine with rewording it regardless though.
Maybe like this?

Q: Where do suggestions for Scratch go?
A: You can make a new topic for them in Suggestions. It's highly reccomended you read most of the stickies and check if there is already a topic for it with this guide.

If a topic exists for it, please discuss it there so it wouldn't be chaotic to follow - If there isn't a topic for it, you are free to make one.

Though I should definitely mention being constructive, I'm not sure how I could squeeze it in.

There's transparent text for quick-hops - I don't think replacing the banners is needed.

I can't see the banner at the top.
I know CubeUpload is down, but still.

If you still want to keep the search part, maybe like “paste the following text and search *insert thing* or go to the Suggestions forum.”
And for the constructive part, I’m trying to think of something.

No, I think the guide is probably a more sufficient replacement honestly.

Now that I thought of it, it's probably not neccasary.

I'll include it as-is for now.
