I wish this didn't have to happen. I like telling my people about ####### (Can't say it), so I'm sad to see my crown for it go away.
Same here, but I feel like there should be something that we can do to tell our friends about ######, because it is quite helpful, because we can see when they are online. But oh well, I still will scratch…
I fully understand this.
When I saw the message in my inbox, I almost fell out of my chair. “My first ST message. Hope I didn't do something wrong,” I thought.
So, I'm here and to my understanding: I can still use isOnline, scratchmoji and things of that nature, but I am not allowed to advertise them.
I'm fine this, to be completely honest. And besides, if I wasn't, it's not like I'd have a choice. So, I can live with this new rule.

Ok. I'll take a breath and actually implement that in my mind (this is a big change to my Scratch habits) and then I'll see what I'll do with isOnline. Thinking of deleting it from the store would be a good first approach, I guess.
I think they should verify extensions by looking through the source code and/or test it, and disable ones that have not been verified yet or rejected.

I understand that the Scratch Team wants extensions not being used for safety reasons. However, what if they were open source? You could see their code, if you don't like what they are doing it is all up to you to decide if you want to have the extension or not. I simply believe extensions make a website better.

Well we'll have to deal with it. Once something is changed, it's not being changed back. We've learnt our lesson from the discuss button. rip the ST never lets the community have a say on things like this

This doesn’t really affect me since I don’t use iO anymore…
but…
Are we still allowed to mention them? Like “You should get isOnline!” but not actually having a link to download. Or “ScratchMoji is awesome!” Is that allowed? Also, what about the iO crown? What’ll happen to that?
Why ban isOnlineV2 as well? In case the ST didn’t realise it was also the iO Q&A page, tips page, and tutorial page. iO cannot continue without the Q&A page!
but…

Thank you for this actually. I honestly have the same mindset as the ST about this, these kinds of things are too sketchy for me, and all the advertising about “IsOnline” has grown old.

I agree! That's why I say there should be a filter-bot. Maybe the code could be something like this: I understand that the Scratch Team wants extensions not being used for safety reasons. However, what if they were open source? You could see their code, if you don't like what they are doing it is all up to you to decide if you want to have the extension or not. I simply believe extensions make a website better.
var allowedExtensions = []; function checkExt(name,codesite,downloadsite) { var datavar; $.get(codesite,function(data,status){datavar=data;}); // a code idea for code-based filters if (datavar.search("a dangerous possible code goes here...")===-1) { // other filters like this would go inside here and the following code would go inside all of them var website; $.get("view-source:"+downloadsite,function(data,status){website=data;}); if(website.search(codesite)!==-1) { allowedExtensions.push(name); } } }
This code should work but may not. If not, just a few changes would be needed. There could then be an auto-moderator that checks to see if the names or websites of the extensions appear and if they aren't in the allowedExtensions array, they will be replaced with the “**” that is used by manual extension moderators now.

You can see the source if you're worried tho (and it asks for specific permissions as do all extensions). Thank you for this actually. I honestly have the same mindset as the ST about this, these kinds of things are too sketchy for me, and all the advertising about “IsOnline” has grown old.
