Heya Sigton, you mind if I replace this topic as you're inactive, the image doesn't show up and it's quite long and in quotes. I'll make a new header and use a nicer layout.

I've asked Paddle the same question. He said he doesn't see a clear need to replace it at the moment, even after giving him lots of new ideas to offer to the sticky.

I asked and he said that he may allow it to be changed after the spike goes down

Okay, but he should still fix the header. It's too big.

A sticky doesn't need to be remade just because of an unnecessary image not showing and the layout not suited to be 100% to your liking.

What information is missing from the OP?

For one, adding support/no support lists. I've said this multiple times, but in summary, they have no point, and are only useful to brag.

Then, there's also the fact that optional rejected suggestions should usually still be rejected, with few exceptions that the owner could add. It could show you how to discern it.

This new “dogpiling” trend, where lots of users say the same thing over and over and over, adding nothing new.

Saying “I think this is a dupe but I'll suggest this anyway”. Sure, this may seem obvious, but I've seen this frequently, even by some forum helpers.

I brought it up to Paddle, who said that it was great that I wanted to help, but he doesn't see a clear need to do it, even after I provided four new suggestions.

Might as well make the suggestion on your own topic so that Scratch Team members can see it easier.

Or you could simply not use the Scratch Forums because no one uses them. They are useless. Thanks.

I found these suggestions very useful, but I have a few suggestions for this list of suggestions:

1. Maybe add a table of contents so that people can get to what they're looking for faster?
2. What do you mean by “Check the directory”? There is no way other than using workarounds to search topics in a forum. You have already posted a topic about this.
3. maybe make it a little bit more gentle? I feel like someone who had not been following these suggestions would either be extra counter-intuitive or feel bad about themselves . Maybe if, for example, you added a part about how it's not people who didn't know about this's fault but now that they do know they can just change their behavior or something like that.

Sorry to disappoint, but the owner of this forum topic has gone inactive, and the Scratch Team does not find it to be a priority to find a new topic made by a new owner.

Yeah, it's not like we're using them right now to post here in the first place or something.

No. They're useful and we need them to help others.

Reminds me altogether of the “remove the suggestions forum” suggestion.
