I think we all know what ads are, and Scratch is having problems with them these days (links to projects not related to the owner of the proyect, links to suspicious pages or profiles, spam).

This forces creators to close comments. Just look at the new featured projects; almost all of them close comments because people keep sending links that have nothing to do with the project or its topic. That's why I propose the following idea: When a creator publishes a project, they should enable a checkbox that allows sending links if they want comments to contain links. If this checkbox isn't enabled, only links to that user's projects can be copied or pasted. And if you don't copy or paste the links and add them manually, Scratch's system will remove them.

I think this would be a good way to reduce the number of unnecessary ads in projects.

That's my idea. Thanks for reading.
