Impose a moratorium on April Fools' Day suggestions
I mean people wanting the guides stickiedBefore the guide moratorium was imposed, not all guides were stickied, and not all guides were meant to be stickied. They were just created — and often bumped — cluttering the forums. I Don’t think you can compare AFD features and guides.guides are meant to be stickied and we already have enough guides.

But AFD topics aren’t often bumped during the year

yes, these types of topics are very frequent. I agree with this suggestion, and I wish scratch team implements it.

Support, but it will need a lot of moderation.

How so? I don't see how this will require much more moderation since we already have a moratorium similar to this (the moratorium on guide topics), and yet the Scratch Team seems to be handling that very well. Support, but it will need a lot of moderation.

Support! These suggestions can also be added for everyday but they insist it upon April Fool's Day

Are guides still disallowed (why most suggestions fail just got stickied)? Support. I'd rather close all suggestions, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

(why most suggestions fail just got stickied)?Of course, there are exceptions. But if you make a random guide right now, there's a good chance it will get closed. Are guides still disallowed

I made the exact same suggestion and got outright rejected. This forum is a joke.
Average reply on my topic: It's a good creative outlet - and you never know when a Scratch Team member might be inspired by one of the suggestions. I'm okay with keeping them around.

I'm going to say no support. Let's say you are a developer of a game and you need ideas but you decide you check the ideas when the game comes out instead of adding the ideas during the process. Would you rather accept ideas before or after?Average reply on this one:
Yeah, they used to be funny, but they took up space, (as you mentioned,) and people had differing opinions on what was “funny” and what wasn't. And one of the biggest reasons is that if the ST did implement they're suggestion, it'd only be for a day, and lots of people would already know about it.

Anyways, I have a solution. The creation of a stickied April Fools' “megathread”, like those found in a certain social media app.

(#76)True, however it removes the clogging in the main forums, where people usually go to make suggestions. They could alternatively make a new forum category, even though many would not see it when going to Suggestions.that doesn't keep specific discussion very tidy though, so I think that may cause more issues than it solves.

After going through this topic, I do believe that @dertermeter has solid analysis. However, my main worry about April fools topics on the forums is if one of them gets accepted, than word will spread from forumers what an april fools feature will be. This spread may eventually outbreak to the main site, where loads of the Scratch community know about the april fools suggestion, meaning it's not really a surprise.The Scratch Team doesn't necessarily have to say they were accepted, and just silently release them. While this tactic could be controversial, it's arguably better than a ruined April Fools' event.

(#8)Project Save & Level Codes
While this is a kinda good idea, the first reason should be removed as >>a lot of suggestions are not typically added by ST.<<
