a better place for all the dos and donts could be the Terms of Use

Yeah that's probably the only downside of my suggestion… The thing is, when you sign up to become a Scratcher, it never mentions the TOU! So a lot of people probably don't know about them, or they might not understand some of the legal language. I went through the TOU when I made my post, and a lot of it was confusing for me even though I'm a teenager

Nice, but I don't know about the longness, most children (like me) won't be eager to read a super long article, some may just not read it, and others may just scroll trough it, but not reading it with detail, (this is my case for the ToU page) Keeping it simple and short makes the reader more encouraged to read the whole thing

Your town/city is allowed, but passing even deeper to your address than that is not allowed (I think, not sure)

I know someone who got an alert for doing that, but yeah it's kind of borderline… I guess it depends on the size of the city/town?

Yep that's a really good point! Not sure what to do about that, hopefully the dropdown list might make it easier for people to read? Because then all the info is there, but it's like the main points are at the top and then the extra info is in the dropdown

Having the CGs short and simple means more people are likely to read it, but having these dropdowns is a very good idea, so more people would understand what each individual rule actually entails. Maybe have each dropdown say something like ‘Learn more’ or ‘What does this mean?’ or something like that?
Anyhow, I support.

Yeah, a learn more button, would encourage the reader to read it all and not make it seem too lengthy

maybe add allowed video games (fortnite and/or minecraft would be controversial since has a moderated chat)

Minecraft is allowed as long as it's not used for things against CGS. It would be too long to list all the sites not allowed, and a kid might see one on the list and decide to check it out.

That's a really good idea! So you don't have to read the dropdowns unless you want clarification or if you want to know more about one of the guidelines

Bump because I kind of forgot this topic existed lol

So is that what happened to the “You can't like this Project” Project?

I've not heard of that project, but yeah probably if it was intended to crash Scratch!

There is one that works that is still up, I don't think they intend to crash the site, most of the others are just clickbait to get loves
