I would like to suggest that you can change your featured project title like “Check this out” or something like that instead of just Featured project or Remix this :]
I just want to suggest this, but you beat me…. so, I support.
The only thing is.. what if they change that ti something innaporiate? Maybe the ST should add a report button for it too.
Support if a report button gets implemented.

Okay, there will be a bad word thing, just like comments can be abused.

No support. Too much effort for just something like this??
I can see the Scratch Team writing many many more code just to make this feature. They also have to change the whole thing, the “how it works”, and.. Seriously, this has to be saved to the database!
Ugh, you broke the support chain, anyway, why do we even have the forums when we could just contact the ST, or comments or studios or ask FPC to curate it,.
Okay, ignore that, but
why do we even have FPC. It's basically the FPC being the ST featuring projects. The ST probably had to write lots and lots of code just to make that feature.

It's different. They have more benefits, and definitely worth it. It's not a matter of inappropriate material- if I'm talking about that, I would suggest the Scratch Team to shut down Newest Projects, Projects by Scratchers I'm following, Projects Loved by Scratchers I'm Following, Favorite feature, Studios Thumbnail features, etc. It's matter whether all the effort is going to worth it. Reasons why these features worth all those meetings, code, and coffee:
FPC feature —> Let peoples other than the Scratch Team pick projects for the Front Page, educationally benefits peoples by representing the diversity of community, and also serves as a fun (educational) program, where curators have to decide for the Front Page and the community, make peoples think ‘critically’ when applying, and encourages trying for roles.
Forums —> Let everyone discuss the same topic, unite peoples with the same interests (RaP, MaC), lets everyone state their suggestions and feedback, let the Scratch Team and others see things from multiple sides (impossible with Contact Us, hard with comments), educationally encourages peoples to review the cons and pros of things (remember that school thing?), discourages closed communities and encourages open peoples and transparency, think critically.
Studios —> Allows multiple peoples to work together as a team (with ranks such as leaders), encourages friendly collaboration, keeps related ideas, projects, discussions, description, information, and peoples in one place, a clear and easy tool for schools, camps, and related organizations, unites peoples with the same interests (e.g. Science, Math, Art, Vector), and also serves as a useful and fun tool.

How about this feature.. Changing your featured project? Compare it too the reasons I gave above.
Pros:
- Make peoples happy
- More options for advertising, maybe
Cons:
- Too much effort for a tool with too little benefit
- Benefits only to users, not the community (like Followers feature)
- If it is used for advertising, it would not improve the advertising enough to make this feature worth all the work
- Benefits only in making peoples happy and little advertising improvement, this feature will be un-educational
- How will this encourage creativity? If it does, how much?

Ugh, you broke the support chain
I wonder how much time you supporters took in deciding whether to support or not. There is a psychology theory, that when at least a few peoples support before, there is a high chance your brain will support too. That's why fad exists.

Support if reportable, it could just be another option on “Report this user” rather than a new button though.

Uh, there is more pros, and the cons are not reasonable
Pros:
Makes people happy
Let's people say their exact phrase, as per Scratchifier
Not really a pro, but their's already 20 supporters
Cons:
none
And for your cons
1. Not LITTLE benefit
2. Benefit's to other people so they know what to check out, on their profile page
3. It is not really used for advertising
4. Just like following is uneducational
5. IT encourages creativity as per sratchifier, (choosing your own creative message)

Semi support. I think more choices would be good (or even a way to feature more than one project, such as a featured tutorial, a featured work in progress, and a featured game). Choosing your own title for the featured section could be a problem though, such as in the example used in the this post. “We have to ban all FNAF!” isn't a good way to title a project in my opinion.

This feature could be greatly abused, and will very likley be problematic.

Uh, there *are more pros, and the cons are not reasonable
Pros:
Makes people happy // Who?
Let's people say their exact phrase, as per Scratchifier // Sure.
Not really a pro, but *there are already 20 supporters // So why add it?
Cons:
none // You can't deny facts. There are cons.
And for your cons
1. Not LITTLE benefit // Why?
2. Benefits to other people so they know what to check out, on their profile page // But that benefits people, not the community.
3. It is not really used for advertising // It can be.
4. Just like following is uneducational
5. IT encourages creativity as per scratchifier, (choosing your own creative message)
Changing my stance to +0.5

Okay..

you don't simply agree just because there is more pros. If you have five 1-cents and one 10 dollars, would you say the give 1-cents is better because they are more in quantity? It's the value, the worth, that matters.
Pros:
Lets people say their exact phrase, as per Scratchifier
How will that be a pro? You can say that it's customizable, you can say that it's fun, but how useful is it?
- How will this improve your learning experience? Will this feature help peoples to learn?
- Is it effective? How efficient? In reaching your goal? Is this the only way, is there a better way? If so, why this?
Also, benefiting other peoples to know what to check out, potential to friendly advertise, choosing your own creative message, fun, is that not little? That's 4, 4 pros, but the value of each pros is too low.

About following, it's the numbers of followers that is uneducational. Following feature itself isn't- It's just like magazine or newspaper subscription, but honestly, this community doesn't need those numbers. I believe the ST keep those just because too many peoples are obsessed with it and would spam the messages with rebellion.

Uh, you knwo this is on my other account.
IT is useful for all the reasons I stated to you already. Can customize, like Featured Game!

and I chose that because it matches my featured project. I was basically saying you could type in ones that matches your featured project.
And, howcome I got a LOT of support in the beginning, but now in the end more towards no support. And, about abusing, I specificly said in like 3 posts, that their WILL BE A REPORT BUTTON.

Customizing is not that useful.
The usefulness depends on the effects of your abilities. NOT what you can do!

Can you please rephrase that? Being able to search up their is little? And I never said anything about easiness.
Have you checked out my new reply?
Ingnore all that. And the ST had to do work for the whole site. If they don't want more, then why did they even open up the suggestions forum.

The suggestions forum is better than all those comments on ST's profiles.
Also, let me respectfully say, that if you don't want peoples disagreeing to your suggestions, don't suggest.
