Hi Scratchers! I’ve created a fun R&C-themed project and would love to hear your thoughts. It’s moderated by the Scratch Team and follows community guidelines. Every download helps us explore new features in Scratch 3.0! Check it out here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1207582796/

Well,
Scratch doesn’t allow chat room
It can be breaking community guidelines
Such as
Sharing personal info
Inappropriate words
The chat room isn’t moderated by Scratch Team

Cloud chats where you can type anything will not work, as it is not moderated by Scratch Team. You're gonna have to use whitelisted phrases. You also just violated a community guideline right there, being honest.

I don't understand “ breaking guidelines” it is not “video chatting” as it can't reveal a face, the instructions and notes and credits may include swearing in some projects, but it is a experiment, does not include swearing. To keep me or the project unbanned, follow the rules.

3.1 Chat projects with cloud variables
Although it is possible to make a chat project using cloud variables, it is not allowed to make such a project. This is because there is a high potential for bullying and inappropriate messages, and the Scratch Team does not have the resources to moderate these chat rooms. This includes adding a block that filters out inappropriate language, as such a block would only be useful for cloud chat projects, which are not allowed. For more information, see this post.

Chat projects on Scratch which contained a whitelist (that is, the user could only chat using certain words) used to be allowed on Scratch. Over time, however, the moderation issues got too high, and some users attempted to use such projects to get around the Community Guidelines. As a result, the Scratch Team has decided that these kinds of projects are not allowed on the Scratch website, even if they contain a whitelist of words. However, whitelisted phrases are okay, provided that users cannot freely write their own sentences using the cloud chat project.

What you are saying is critical, even on forums. This breaks the community guideline: “Give helpful feedback” Project has now updated, phrases are now limited
