Editing Google Docs w/ scratchers? [answered]

Would it be allowed to create a Google Doc and then, via link sharing, edit it with other scratchers?

I trust them (as much as you can trust someone over the internet) but I figured it wasn't very likely that we would be allowed to do that. We would be using the Doc to plan ‘Metal Wars,’ our remake of Colour Wars, although we can manage without it.

It depends. I don't know how google docs editing works. I think you might want to try it out with a friend and see if the privacy between you and the other Scratchers and vice versa is enough.

However, keep in mind that these are people you don't know. While you can have a sense of trust on Scratch, Google Docs is a place where there is unmoderated content, so the Scratch Team can't be held liable for any damage caused on the document or yourself due to them.

I am unsure if you would be allowed as this is a form of private messaging.

I think it might be best if a moderator comes and looks at the situation. I will request one to come on.

Thanks for checking first! Please don't do that as it would be considered unmoderated private chatting. Consider using the Collaboration section of Discuss to help coordinate your team.

Thanks! I suspected that would be the answer but wanted to make sure
