Please don't announce projects before you release them.

yes, but no. the reason this topic exists is because kids they can make scratch mods but can't cuz well *insert image of intense coding* which they might don't really know well

I'm saying this topic is doing its job, as the sorts of topics it discourages aren't very common anymore (at least not that I've noticed).

yeah, the topic has done a good job of discouraging those kids with no advanced coding skill.

Is it actual message from SuperbSpectacularScratcher about
Glitter or Just you made it?

No, I made it as an example. The SuperbSpectacularScratcher account does not exist.

I think this extends to those topics where people ask others to work on a project that is not even materialized yet. Sure, collaboration is nice, but without some context from some discussion, people wouldn't get what you're trying to do, and thus would be hesitant to join. Even construction workers need to reach at least some consensus on managing who's going to build what.

Besides, this is a forum, not a business. Every collaborators you can find here are volunteers; they don't gain anything (or anything important) working at your project. (And if you think that you can give them that something I called important, if such are even possible, then perhaps that's a sign you have outgrown this website and I can only recommend you to go to a proper establishment.)

If your project in mind requires at least some amount of people to collaborate, then it's not worth doing. That's not to say you shouldn't ask others to work on your project—any help you get is a contribution to your project—but if that is the only source of progress on your project, expect your project to go nowhere. Remember that others have their own priorities in life too.

Why?

Here is an example topic someone could create in the Advanced Topics.

I mean it can work … go to PowerPoint, screen record , crop the area to your profile pic, then export the file as either JPEG or PNG. Then upload as sprite and use detection blocks. The cloud variables I dont know however.Its theoretically possible . And couldnt he just find his old profile picture?
And Cloud Lists are in TOLORS (the official list of rejected suggestions) , check it out in the Suggestions forum.

“SuperbSpectacularScratcher” is 6 characters above the limit either way so even if I wanted to (and trust me, I do) I physically couldn't

I did that intentionally if I recall correctly lol

A Scratch mod can't do that, though. Also, Scratch doesn't have image reporters, so SuperbSpectacularScratcher would have to implement that first.

Yeah, maybe if the limit was raised to like 30 characters then I could reasonably do it but until then…

Time to go to the suggestions forums!
(or what if it is in TOLORS?)

Like a blank slate “I will implement your ideas into my Scratch mod”?
In most cases, those have the same issues as mentioned in the OP. If you have no ideas at all for a project and want to basically crowd source the idea, it's probably not going to work out great.

What happens if the user does know a little bit about how the Scratch modification will work and won't plan to implement everything they are suggested?

Then they can just create that little bit of the mod, release it, and ask for feedback/suggestions. It's important to at least have something.
