What? Tell me what prevents then from a new account. (Do not say ip, those take 5 seconds to get around.) This seems like a fake since of security. Sorry, not enough details. BTW, scratch is good for programming, but I just cant see only being allowed to talk to certain people. What if you make an amazing project, but someone has a question about it?Sorry, no support. I remember that when anything like this was set up, I would try to get around it, usually successfully. They could just make a new account. Also, I would like to see a mockup and clearer plans.
“Children should not stay safe online because of my own reasons.”
It could require a successful allowance from the parent email account?
“Children should not stay safe online because of my own reasons.”I would respond, “Knowing that it is not safe is better than thinking it is.”

ACTIVATION EMAILS. A 7 year old isn't going to know his Mommy's email account, so he can't just right off the bat create an account and spam everywhere.

Okay, I'm concerned if said 7 year old knows how to make a new Email. And, if they do, 1: Kudos to them. 2: If they're smart enough to do so, they should be smart enough to know not to give out personal information.The kid makes a new email, and then a new account…What?

Other than that, I'll let you two settle this one.

Scratch wouldn't take that as a proper E-Mail, it would simply discard it and say that it isn't even valid.It takes 1 second and no personal information.Okay, I'm concerned if said 7 year old knows how to make a new Email.

Nice. You're saying us smart kids have to enable EVERY SINGLE USER on Scratch to talk to them? Also, I've made great friends with comments.

2. Yes, you may've made good friends with commenting. But I feel like a broken record here, but it's still the parents decision weather or not the kid can talk to strangers.

Just listen, the internet is a network of billions of computers all connected by routers cables and sattelites - of course it isn't safe if anyone can get online without revealing who they are, anyone can create a website even if you had every firewall in the world protecting you you would still find a small quantity of those billions of gigabytes of offensive and inappropriate material. The only way to protect yourself is use common sense (an odd concept)…

. But you are right. I made a fake account above with a fake email. This feature adds false security, which is worse than none. No support.- Discussion Forums
