(#40)Honestly, I don't think it's worth debating categories. If the ST implements this, then I'm sure they will have the wisdom to figure out where and how it should be used.
Would this apply to studio comments?

I don't think this should be implemented, because Scratch should be easy to use for younger kids, and having 1 on 1 chats would probably be quite confusing. Great idea though!

(#42)Why is having 1 on 1 chats confusing?

A lot of kids learn how to fully navigate a tablet at 1 year old these days. 1 on 1 messaging is like any other messaging platform, so I don't think that would be a problem.

(#44)I agree - kids are pretty tech smart these daysA lot of kids learn how to fully navigate a tablet at 1 year old these days. 1 on 1 messaging is like any other messaging platform, so I don't think that would be a problem.

No support since it could lead to very bad things and plus some sites have that purpose anyway so it wouldnt make sense for scratch

Well, the ST can still see the comment thread, and others can also see the comment thread and report them. No support since it could lead to very bad things and plus some sites have that purpose anyway so it wouldnt make sense for scratch
The only way this would lead to something bad is if somebody makes a chat with somebody else and nobody looks at it, which can already be done with hidden studios.
(by hidden studios I mean studios made by new scratchers, which would most likely not be found, which also allows people to chat on it freely with a low chance of somebody finding the studio. I think)

Yeah, if you make a studio on a secret account and tell nobody about it, then nobody can find it(#49)Hidden studios?

I just reported this to confirm that it is not rejected. Hopefully we can get this in TOLORS as not rejected.
Edit: Just realized that Paddle2See already posted here, so it's probably good, but I want a definitive answer before we ask for this as “not rejected” in TOLORS. I don't think we've had any trouble with people saying this is rejected, but we could.

It isn't rejected. But I think the title is confusing, though. I'd say a better description of the suggestion is “secluded commenting”. Granted that “secluded” can also be a synonym for “private”, but when you say something is secluded it also implies “separate” or “without distraction”, which I think is the aim of the suggestion here.

We've seen suggestions for something like this with student-teacher accounts (which makes sense because maybe two students or a teacher and student might be conversing and it wouldn't make sense for someone to barge in that kind of public conversation).

(#57)I know. I suppose I didn't imply enough that I asked for that.

So… If I'm understanding correctly, you chat publicly, but only the other person can reply? I feel like I'm missing a lot of info lol
Edit: Scum of the page let's go!!!
