As you might know some members have created their own websites with forums and even chatrooms. You are free to do that as it is outside the realm of what Scratch is about. You might also have noticed that a few users were arguing about the list of chatrooms. So if that happens just with a list of chatrooms imagine what happens with the chatrooms themselves

Unfortunately not allowed by the rules: No Chatrooms.
However, if you want to say let players post their high scores and their usernames you could encode each letter to a number and use a special number to terminate their message. All in one cloud varriable. But don't make a chatroom.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
add (*Cloud* Talk) to [  v]
define Detail 
Detail {Username} if username has error 
RESET

This should explain the rules.
I took this from the wiki.

Status: Restricted
Chatrooms, along with private messaging, have been requested for a long time, but the answer has always been no because people can say anything without any moderation. The only exception is safe chats, which have a predefined lists of words, called a whitelist, that users can say, but anything not on the list is censored out of the chat. Safe chats are hard to make because of the variety of words that must be placed in the word list, therefore working safe chat rooms are very rare. And, because they are based on cloud data, New Scratchers cannot use them.

Even though this discussion is 4 years old is it an option to have a cloud chat BUT block bad words and only people you know and trust can chat with you? I really want a chat like this in one of my projects but i'm not sure if it is allowed.

• Click “Make a block”
  

• Name you block “message”
  

• Check the “Run without screen refresh” box
  

• Add an “ask and wait” on the “define message” block
  

• Replace “What’s your name?” with “Message Scratchers…”
  

• Make a list called “☁️ Messages”
  

• Add an “add to list” block on the “ask and wait” block
  

• Replace “thing” with the “answer” block
  

• Add a “when green flag clicked” block to the workspace
  

• Add your “message” block to the “when green flag clicked” block
