9.7 Guide section on the forums
This proposed forum section would be a place for guides and tutorials that Scratchers could freely make with the purpose of helping others. However, the forums are generally a place for discussion; it is not a good place for topics with content that is not meant to be changed. A Scratch project or the Scratch Wiki are two good places to make tutorials.
Tutorial Section On The Forums

1. Wouldn't This Just Be Full Of Blockspam,Like TSTT9?
No, Topics That Blockspam Would Be Deleted/Dustbinned/Closed.

2. Reasons In TOLoRS
The tutorial topics could be discussed on. How? Well, Forumers could discuss ways to 1. Simplify the tutorial 2. Find bugs or errors in the code 3. Improve and optimise the tutorial 4. Provide feedback on the tutorial. Why not use a project? Scratch projects do not have an easy way of showing blocks. What about the wiki? In The Scratch Wiki, if you wanted to make a simple/small tutorial, you would need to do the full signup process. But isn't that there to prevent spam? Yes. But it also discourages Scratchers intending to make a simple tutorial…..

Actually no support, because finding the forums are pretty hard itself, even if they manage to find it finding the guide would be hard. I understand that you want new scratchers to have a guide, but since i was recently a new scratcher I had absolutely NO IDEA what forums were, where it was, and what to even use it for, on the other hand i was just talking on public studios that guide new scratchers,

Are studios easier to find compared to forums???
Yes!!! Just search guide to scratch on the search bar and youll find projects, studios etc. People that have just started probably wont find forums yet alone knowing what forums even are… Studios will have people that can reply within seconds, however forums will be hard to find a reply to your post/quote.

Anyway if you read this much, thanks for reading <3
