:Hopscotch: Leaders Q and A Topic 2

[PM_Studios]

Okay will do!

[PM_Studios]

Wait a minute-is that even your project?

[Tri-Angle]

it’s fine to nominate other peoples projects - and ngl i encourage these

[PM_Studios]

Then someone should change the name of it lol I was being logical

[PM_Studios]

@moocow or any leader, how do you get the extra circle image on your profile?

[Tri-Angle]

it’s called a flair! BG made a topic about it :)) you only need to join a tag list and you’re done!

[PM_Studios]

Thanks! That was a lot of help!

[Tabitha]

Well, can I change my app email?

[SwimGirlStudios]

Yes! If you email support@gethopscotch.com they can help you reset your app email :)

[FearlessPhoenix]

@Dragongirl1264 @Mathematics2 just clarifying that you can indeed talk about all things HSF related in the yctayhch – it’s perfectly on topic and we’ll make sure to clarify that somewhere in the op soon :))

@Mathematics2

By the way does that mean I’d get in trouble if someone else gives away PI in a topic about ADHD or autism?

Continuing the discussion here:

No, as long as you aren’t involved in the discussion and share personal information or break the guidelines yourself. A good practice as a community member is to never contribute to a discussion that is breaking the guidelines, but instead flag the post to report it to the leaders.

I wasn’t quite sure where to ask this, but I have an old Hopscotch account (circa 2018) that I can no longer access. When I made this account, I made it in that weird bubble of time where you didn’t need a password. Because of this, I have no way of logging in or publishing new projects. Is there any way for me to log in or will this ghost account exist f o r e v e r /hj

[Pumpkin]

there may be - THT (the hopscotch team) would be the only ones to know!
you can email them here → support@gethopscotch.com
hope you can recover it in some way!

[FearlessPhoenix]

i think it is possible, yeah. emailing them there or yuanyuan directly (i think she fixed it last time this came up) at yuanyuan@gethopscotch.com would be the best bet

[moocow]

when i emailed support@gethopscotch.com, yuanyuan replied anyway so i don’t think it matters

[FearlessPhoenix]

hello all!

because there’s been a bit of confusion lately, we decided to look over the yctayhch and make a few changes. it now goes by a new name (“you can talk about hopscotch here”) and has a revamped op. however, the purpose and usage of the topic is still the same, and this is further clarified in the new op

@system

Welcome to the You Can Talk About Hopscotch Here topic!

---

This is for anything and everything Hopscotch and Forum related that might not have a home elsewhere. You can talk about:

• your hopscotch coding
• forum tips and tricks
• general hopscotch queries
• coding theories
• and more! just be sure to keep it relevant

Stuff that’s okay to post, as detailed by Ana:

@Ana

Discuss anything and everything Hopscotch, forum and code-related that isn’t covered by other categories. Collaborate on ideas and meet new friends through coding together.

For help with code, debugging your projects or other Hopscotch related bugs, suggestions, or app-specific questions, please use the category view of the forum to find the appropriate area for your question. Search to see if your problem exists and has been solved already. If not, create a new topic to start the discussion.

Rules and Reminders

If I see someone off-topic

I would flag the post and let the leaders deal with it, instead of going into a chat about whether something is off-topic or not. This will make both of your contents “off-topic”. You will get community warnings because of this, so watch out!

If I’m not sure something is off-topic or not

Chances are, I will think, does what I say help me or someone else better understand Hopscotch or use Hopscotch? If not, it’s off-topic! If you’re not sure, hold it because usually it is.

Does this mean I cannot make jokes?

Jokes are tricky, so I’d say stay away unless you really know what you’re talking about. What you consider funny might not be funny for someone else, especially online. Even if it’s not your intention, you might hurt someone’s feeling. You will also receive warnings for making inappropriate jokes

"Man, this is boring, I can’t do anything."

There’s a lot of things you can talk about in Hopscotch! Maybe the forum is not the most ideal social platform for you, and you’re not forced to stay. What we want to remind everyone is to respect the purpose and expectations of this space. Ultimately, we created this space for people to discuss coding and learn.

"Off-topic is a small thing, no one would care about it."

That is not true! If you do it enough times, you will get warnings, silencings, even suspensions on your account. However, before taking those measures, Leaders will introduce a “Slowmode” on the topic, meaning that you can only post once every few minutes. This is to facilitate more productive discussions, and to avoid topic closure. This will happen when the discussions get extremely off-topic or guidelines start being broken, so be mindful when you see one!

What else should I beware of?

Have you ever noticed that we don’t allow people to post less than a certain characters? Usually shorter responses are un-productive and will lead to more unproductive and off-topic chats. One secret for staying away from being off-topic is to consolidate your ideas into one post, and not post like you’re texting someone.

If you have more questions, email us at hello@gethopscotch.com or contact the Leadership Team in the Leaders Q and A Topic

hope this clears up any questions people had!
@omtl @fearlessfriends

[FearlessPhoenix]

yep, the one i linked is just her personal hs email so sometimes she’ll reply to that quicker

[Tri-Angle]

i have a feeling the op is written by tb or i might be wrong

[FearlessPhoenix]

nope lol, i wrote it. i just stole his formatting because i can

also like he has the right idea with the emojis – they work so well in headers

---

and for reference if it helps, the welcome team are really only involved in all things new-user related and some community-centric engagement initiatives like camp courtesy
when it comes to big/official charges, that’s handled only by us (leaders) and they find out at the same time as the rest of you

[FearlessPhoenix]

thank you, my padawan

i love how you’ve got the whole formatting thing down better than me while being here for like… two minutes
