I know romantic things and the such are banned off Scratch to stop E-dating, especially amongst kids, which I think is a good idea, however, I can't tell if this ban also includes saying you're dating someone? I've been dating two people off of Scratch and in real life. (Yes, we are poly!) I like stating that I am dating people, like initials/dates in bio (ie. <S, S3) and saying I'm dating, but is that against the Scratch rules? We don't really flirt/be romantic on Scratch, but I do make projects for both of them stating I love them. (Like my OTP meme remix.)
Btw, yes I have searched it up to see if it was banned but the only thing I got was a forum discussion from about ~2 years ago which only said, “Yeah you can't date/flirt with anybody on Scratch.”

Edit; I will not be responding and unfollowing this thread. Thanks for the replies and answers! It really helped! ^u^

It should be fine as long as you don't make romantic comments.

No, stating you are dating someone is not allowed on Scratch. The platform's community guidelines and rules strictly prohibit online dating or romantic behavior with other users for safety reasons and to keep the site appropriate for its target audience of ages 8-16.

Sorry, it's the community guidelines.





According to google

You are not to allowed to state that you are dating other Scratch users, even if you are dating in real life.

According to google

That means dating people who ARE on Scratch, not just saying you're dating someone offsite.

You could have just read the community guidelines on Scratch instead of googling it

I would think saying you had a boyfriend/girlfriend would be OK.

Here's some things you can NOT do:

1. Attempt to date another Scratch user.

2. Have social interactions with boyfriend/girlfriend.

3. Making projects/showing pictures of them.

Is making projects of their characters and my own characters okay in that case? Not real photos, just cute gift projects for them.

Showing your projects to your boyfriend/girlfriend is OK. Make sure not to send comments to each other about this project.

Inform them about the project outside of Scratch.

You can.

edit: let's not start a flame war

I don't think its allowed to outright state either in your projects or comments that you are dating. And anything romantic (if not subtle enough) is not allowed.
