It will be like discussing, except more better! You can request a project for everyone to go to, or(maybe private group chats?)There will be lots of Scratchers online. Also, is this a duplicate?

I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

Well, private chats are rejected. A chatroom for everyone, I believe, will just be filled with spam. With so many users, having a conversation would be impossible, and any bad messages sent on the chat would be so buried by all the other messages that they'd be impossible to find.

THIS IS MY SIGNATURE. THIS MEANS IT IS AN AUTOMATIC MESSAGE THAT APPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF ALL MY POSTS.

There is still one way to chat on scratch without adding chats, which is using cloud chats/lists, and there is no spam.

Those cloud chats don't get spam because not many people know of their existence. If there's a chat made by the Scratch Team, WAY more people would use it, and spam would be happening MUCH more.

No Support.

1: Private communication is rejected by the Scratch Team due to bullying which can only be seen by certain users in the communications and because of this, it can't be moderated so easily.

2: Chats at are not allowed unless they are scripted with a whitelist.

1. This would not be private communication… I believe OP is suggesting a chat from the ST, coded into the website.
2. If it's a chat from the ST, it's likely there would be a whitelist, and maybe even a blacklist.

It's rejected. Private messaging has too many issues, and chatroom projects need to have a whitelist (safe chat).

1: The user suggested private chat groups, this is almost the same thing as private communication between a few users.
2: Scratch Team will not add a chat.

Do comments not count as a chatting system?

This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.

Comment are different. Comments are moderated more easily than a chat project.

Idk, but most likely Scratch Team won't really consider this suggestion.

Well, the ST should be able to access the private chat and moderate. If not, then there should be a report button.
