Any document that can be edited by more than one person can serve as an unmoderated chat site as the two (or more) parties can add dialog to the document. Also, we have had bad experiences with Google Docs in particular giving out email addresses as folks ask for permission to share, which is another safety concern.

Basically, Google Docs is not allowed here because it can be used to share personal information and inappropriate content.

I don't think that Google Docs will be unbanned from Scratch any time soon.

It's maybe due to unmoderated chat in google d********, people can write and put inappropriate stuff, since it's like Microsoft wo*d,

also the ST won't unban Google d**s.

Also this needs to be moved to “Questions about Scratch.”.
