2. I don't think there's a flame war going on?

It just seemed that things were getting a little heated.

But to me it always seems like that in most suggestions tbh. ._.

4. Support but… 30 days isn't enough. Maybe 5 or 6 months.

Assuming in Scratch 3.0, forums will be slightly/heavily modified, so here's a few suggestions I have:

1. Further coloring of each page.
You may or might not understand what I mean by this, but the forum pages (like this one) should be more colorful. Not a full rainbow design nor a solid color, but perhaps a small touch of white, blue, and/or orange? This doesn't mean the website would look 100% childish, but it would provide a more cheerful mood.

2. Simplified Emojis
Drawing inspiration from how the modern smiley has evolved, perhaps cleaner or more simpler emojis could be implemented. I was actually thinking some similar to this, too.
Obviously, there's some opposition to this suggestion. I, myself, enjoy emojis as long as they don't go overboard. However, I think the current smileys ( ) are becoming slightly less appealing to some audiences.

3. Top Section to each Sub-Forum
At the top of each sub-forum's main page, there could be a larger module at the top of the screen that summarizes the current stickies and is more noticeable to newer Scratchers. Obviously, some may actually read this, but others may not, but this is somewhat better than the current stickies. Once the new scratcher clicks “Close”, or sees the dialog for a number of times, the module would be gone and it's back to the current look. The module would look like something similar to this for Suggestions:

> Keep posts relevant. Your posts should have something to do with the topic. Please don't just place random ScratchBlocks or offtopic posts in the Suggestions forums.

> Keep topics relevant. Make sure what you're talking about is in the correct location, so in here you should propose your suggestions only. Also make sure that what you're suggesting doesn't already exist.

> Read the stickies. A crucial guide to the Suggestions forums that help keep this area rolling and on-topic. Definitely worth reading and is found at the top of the list below.

> Don't necropost. Don't post on topics that have not been replied to for a long time.

> Be constructive. When posting in the Suggestions forums, please don't say “Support.” Please elaborate on why you support.

{Alright, got it!}

4. Automatic Necroposting Prevention
Duplicate to "Auto-lock Topics Based on Last Post", but most content has been snipped to its original points.

• 30 day requirement until the necropost warning pops up.
  
• In alternation, especially for the Suggestions forums, instead of blocking, it could discourage or not even pop up.
  
• Friendly message rather than stale, standard one (i.e. "You cannot post here!")
  

(NOTE: As a result of suggestion 4 being removed, most people have been moved to supporters.)

Prevention Method

Whoa, this topic is old. Try not to necropost, or post after a long period of time.

Block Method

Oops! This topic is old. Let's go back and surf the Scratch Forums!
