The community guidelines should specify more on what isn't allowed. Each guideline is only a few sentences long.

Which ones do you find too vague, and how do you think they could be expanded upon to be more specific?

• be respectful
  
• dont disallow remixing
  
• dont share social medias with dming and/or where the content linked contains inappropriate content
  
• be honest
  
• be constructive, not overly negative or positive
  
• content should be kept for all ages (not “any age”, that's marginally different - “all ages” means 8 and up for instance, not “anything goes”)
  

frankly, i don't see how these are “vague”.

Well, what content isn't appropriate for all ages? Are guns allowed?

community guidelines wrote:

Help keep the site friendly.
It’s important to keep your creations and conversations friendly and appropriate for all ages.

I think it's pretty clear what type of projects are and aren't suitable for all ages. It's been stated in an announcement that this is what's considered inappropriate

Graphic Content: Depictions or audio that emulate weapons, gore, or violence.
Intense Themes: Serious or scary topics.
Vulgarity: Disrespectful or mature language.
Jumpscares: Startling images that abruptly flash on the screen.

It's not as specific in the community guidelines probably because some users may post inappropriate content that does not fall into those categories and say “well actually my project isn't technically against any community guidelines”
Overall, I'd say that if you have to question whether or not your project is suitable, then you should probably just not share it, at least not on Scratch.
Instead of using realistic weapons in your projects, it may be better to use fictional weapons like laser blasters that just make the characters disappear or weapons that give minor/harmless slapstick injury.

If the Community guidelines are too vague, look at the ToU

It probably will be what you're looking for if you want to know what is or isn't allowed.

As long as it’s not realistic enough, it should be fine. (Something like a character from a top-down view holding a rectangle-shaped thingy that goes pew pew pew should be fine)

The Community Guidelines aren't supposed to be terribly specific- they're guidelines that the rules are structured around, not a definitive list of rules.

And if people can't find the rules in the Announcements forum or refuse to believe that what they did is wrong, that's on them. If you're advertising and then get an alert for it because of spam, you shouldn't be surprised- advertising is (usually) considered a form of spam, since spam is simply unwanted, often repetitive content.

Unrealistic guns are allowed

Scratch allows two squares as a gun, not anything realistic.

you can, you just have to make sure you're being constructive when doing so instead of just saying “this project sucks, make it better”
