Advertising and Follow-for-Follow (f4f)
EVERYONE:
I think you might of noticed, but there's a chain message going all around scratch. This is relating kind of to advertising. You might know that a scratch has been telling people to spread this message;
SPREAD THE MESSAGE: We have a problem here, that underrated scratchers never get famous because anyone hardly visits them, due to people visiting famous scratchers. But Scratch can solve this by adding a bar to the left which shows non-popular scratcher's projects. Or we can visit underrated scratchers studio's and check out projects there. ORIGINAL BY: @IzzyandRyan kindly copy paste to everywhere!
This is clearly disturbing general talk, and I feel like something has to be done to stop this.
I went on the creators profile to tell them to stop. They ignored all the complaints, It's not spam cuz its made of like hundreds of scratchers and they each post 1. but its SAVAGE chain mail. I agree that it needs to stop.
Thank you for agreeing.

Yes we are. In Paddle2See's comment, he says that in your signature, you can advertise. are we allowed to advertise in our signature?

i was about to post thank you for saying no problem XD but here's a way we can make them stop the chainmail. Is being famous really important when you are a kid and especially at this time?

Probably, but I'm not sure. I allow feedback, but advertising, no.Is it okay if the profile says you can advertise? Comments on someone else's profile (possible exception - maybe your followers profiles would be okay - but you might want to check with them first)

Good Idea lolwhen green flag clicked
say [No to F4F]
play sound [Goodbye to advertisements v]
broadcast [Don't do follow on requests v]
set [What to do v] to [All the things above]
I forgot to add a forever loop, so
when green flag clicked
forever
say [No to F4F]
play sound [Goodbye to advertisements v]
broadcast [Don't do follow on requests v]
set [What to do v] to [All the things above]

I think that if the profile says F4F and no advertising, scratch should analyze each comment and if the comment has a link and/or F4F, f4f, and follow me the comment would be deleted and the person would get a warning.

Yes but the thing is, what if the scratcher has friends, and the friend says “Yo I just finished making that animation I told you about 1 week ago” Then the scratcher would get a warning for no bad reason whatsoever.

Agreed This is a very nice post I think that every new scratcher should see this so that they
will know not to f4f or to advertise I believe that it is not good to advertise on a person's
game because it basically trying to take the peoples viewers and the people that made
the game work hard and people come along and try to have people see their projects.
you know what I think “I think that if people really want there games to get popular
then don't advertise it makes people mad and not want to see your project”

Most people now call asking for feedback advertising. Would you agree?
