So i have been thinking if scratch will make a private chat system on profiles.

When im at school and the class is split most of the time they are not split with me and at recess and lunch is the only time we see each other.
so what about PRIVATE CHATS AND GROUP CHATS so when anybody are split they can talk.

I have been forced to talk publicly 4 ages now pls scratch.

scratch doesn't allow private chat. This is to prevent community guidelines being broken

but they can monerter it

7.1 Private messaging
Scratch currently has public messaging, meaning anyone can see the comments that you write. As a result, people are more likely to be respectful since anyone can see the comment. However, with private messaging, people know that only the intended recipient can see the message, which could lead to many more disrespectful or inappropriate comments. The Scratch Team also simply does not have the resources to moderate a private messaging system, precisely because there would be a lot of bad comments. In addition, it is a huge Internet safety concern and is not the purpose of Scratch anyway.

This suggestion extends to allowing users to post links to other private messaging websites. Many such messaging websites are not as well-moderated as Scratch is. If such links were allowed, Scratch may be held responsible if anything bad happens to someone. It also extends to voice chat capabilities on Scratch; for more information, see this post.
