I can't see the conditions in the OP.

IDEA: add “gossip” under “Be Respectful”:

Gossiping/Naming - Gossip is talking about someone and publicly accusing them of breaking the community guidelines. It is considered unrespectful as it makes the user look like a “bad” user, sometimes even when they didn't really break the rules

Blockspam still needs to be added to this…

Expecially since almost everyone misunderstands what blockspam is.

This is great! I really think this should be stickied.

why can't i say my first name or the month and day of my birthday that's literally the stupidest thing i've ever heard-

You can say them, just not your last name!
You see, don't say anything that can be used for private communication!

You can choose which one to say. For example, I could say I am 12 years old (true) but once I do that, I can't say that my first name is Bob (not true) or that my birthday is July 8th (also not true) because all three of those narrows down my identity.

Just because you are capable of that doesn't mean you should. Randoming should have said it is discouraged, not disallowed. There are multiple sources but I can't find one from a Scratch Team member, while I look you can have this one though.

Doesn't Use The Same Community Guidelines as Scratch.

There is no website with Community Guidelines or a Terms of Use that is exactly identical to the one in Scratch. Maybe reword that to “allows for disrespectful or inappropriate content”

That isn't true.

You are allowed share outside website links if the content follows Scratch's guidelines and terms of use, as well as the website's guidelines and terms of use.

No, it needs to respect the following:

1 All content on your site must be appropriate for Scratchers of all ages.
2 Your site should not be giving out any of your personal information - in the website name, in the “Contact Us” area, in links to social media sites, and so on.
3 Remember that what you post on the internet is very hard to remove.
4 Your site should not be asking for email addresses - this often happens in the “Contact Us” area.
5 Your site should not be providing unmoderated communication.
6 Make sure your site is not downloading anything potentially malicious.
7 Your site should not be selling anything.

it says so here

Yes, all of those are against the Scratch Guidelines and Terms Of Use, so I am correct.

I'm too lazy to find the post from @Za-Chary and quote it.

Edit: See, that is what Paddle2See says: Please be sure that any links you post follow the Scratch Community Guidelines, the Scratch Terms of Use, and the Policies in our Announcements area.

The things he listed were just parts of it he wanted to clarify: Some common problem areas people tend to overlook:

I'm not, but i'm eating rn so i am, kind-of
OOF

isn't et cetera abbreviated as etc. ?

ipaddude wrote:

Yes, why?

Replace:

Birthdays X
Real Names X

with this:

Birthdays ✔
Real Last Names X
Real Nickames ✔

My birthday is june 30th
and AmyLaser is sharing her first name
Also, in the community guidelines it says “Real last names”, not “Real Names”

Introduction
I've been noticing people complaining about the Community Guidelines. Some people think they're not fair and not very explanatory. This is why I created this post.

1.Be Respectful
Advertising - Advertising can make your projects popular. However, it isn't nice to do so on other people's projects. This could draw attention to your project instead of the original project, but it is okay to do so on the Show & Tell section on the forums.
Unkind & Disrespectful Comments - You might find a project that is “bad”, but how would you feel if you got an unkind project saying your project was terrible? You probably would feel sad, right? That's why this is against the rules.
Not Giving Credit or “Stealing” Projects - Not giving credit is like stealing something. It's like finding this famous art and sticking it in your backpack and acting like you made it. This is why it's against the rules. It's also against the rules to tell someone they can't use your art or remix your project. See rule 3# for more information.
Cyberbullying - It’s not okay to post abusive projects and comments on Scratch. If harassment crosses the line into a malicious attack it can be reported and may be removed.
Don’t Discriminate Others suggested by MeowyTitan08 - Saying someone isn't good enough (or too young, a girl, ect.) is very unkind. This is a big problem in the real world and we don't want it in Scratch.
False Reporting/Mass Reporting - False Reporting (better known as Mass Reporting by the community) is reporting something even though it doesn't violate the Community Guidelines. This has been a big problem lately and you can stop it! If you see someone do this report them right away.


2.Be constructive
Unkind Comments - You might find a project that is “bad”, but instead of saying it's bad, give suggestions to make it better. Doing this is a great way to be looked up to. If you see any comments that say something like “bad” or “this is the worst project” or something else hit the report button above it.
Being Constructive Unkindly - Just because your being constructive doesn't mean your doing it kindly. Comments like “this project is really bad! To make it better you should get some better artist to draw it” is being constructive but not in a good way. Again, if you see comments like this please report them immediately.

3.Share
Telling People They Can't Remix - Telling people that they cannot remix is against the rules. Scratch allows anyone to remix anything. Even if the owner tells you not to.
Not Allowing Members to Use Your Art, Scripts, ect. - Not allowing users to use your stuff is against the rules. As we said before you must “Share”. It's literally on the home screen. Imagine Program Share.

4.Keeping Personal Info. Private
For this one I'm gonna list what you can share and what you can't share. I'll put a “✔” next to it if it's allowed. Otherwise I will put a “X” next to it.
List Of Things You Can/Can't Share
Birthdays X
Real Names X
Country ✔
Discord Servers, Skype, ect. X
Facebook (or any other social media) X
YouTube Videos ✔ (on conditions)
Phone Numbers X
Email Addresses X
Family members/friends accounts on Scratch ✔
Websites outside of Scratch ✔ (on conditions)
Passwords X
Social Security Numbers X
Genders ✔
(I know I didn't add everything. So, if you know something I didn't add, please tell me.)

5.Be Honest
Don't Impersonate Other Scratchers or Celebrities - Impersonating someone means pretending like your them. This makes people believe (sometimes) that you are the person you say you are. Once people think that your someone else they might pass on the message and then eventually everyone will think your someone else. Don't do this. Just take my word for it.
Don't Say Something That isn't True - Telling someone something that isn't true is called lying. Sometimes lying can hurt people or even make them leave Scratch.

6.Help Keep the Site Friendly
Keep Things Appropriate - Scratch was created for kids. So we must keep it appropriate for them and everyone else.
Use the “Report” button - The report button is found on projects, comments, studios, & even profiles. If someone breaks the Community Guidelines, it's your job to click that button, (added by @BearSlothCoding) but do not reply to inappropriate comments, or comment on people's profile telling them they violated the Community Guidelines.

Note: If you know anything I missed please let me know and I'll add them. Thanks for reading!

Nice guide , however I think sharing a real first name is fine if it isn't uncommon
also I think sharing your birthday is fine but those are just my opinions

AWESOME guide though :3

Please don't quote the entire OP that's really unnecessary. I've heard that sharing your age or your birthday is allowed but not both. I don't really know about that though.
