Emoji-Based Chatroom Idea
I think we all know that chatrooms aren't allowed on Scratch. I mostly picked up on this idea when I started seeing cloud-based/multiplayer projects using emojis instead of just letting you type. The FAQ also says that:
However, I do have an idea. On the note that most multiplayer projects with “chatting” often have a selection of emojis/emotes for you to select from, (as far as I know) can't you just make a chatroom with strictly emojis? I mean, that is basically what these projects have in mind for a chat system. Only emojis, no letters or words.
The question here is, “Can you make a chatroom with strictly emojis?”
First, I'd set up a few rules for obvious reasons:

First, I'd set up a few rules for obvious reasons:
- No emojis with letters, words, or anything that could possibly be used as a letter/word. (This includes glyphs, if there are any i'm not sure.)

- No emojis that could possibly allow people to send hate towards others (This would be hard to do, but maybe it's possible)

Yes, it is allowed. There is already a such project, but it stopped working.

Emoji chat is allowed, and even chat with pre-made phrases that you can select.

Yes, as long as it does not contain the inappropriate (you know what those are) emojis.
