This has been suggested a lot in the past; chatting has been discouraged because it takes a lot of energy to moderate a constant stream of that stuff, and because it all happens so fast in one place, you'd have to have moderators on 24/7 (and, despite the 8 or so moderators we have, we're not all on all the time) to deal with stuff. Unfortunately, it just won't be happening.
More info from a Scratch Team member.
As per private messaging, I'm afraid that also won't be happening: it's a system open to abuse, and Scratch should be an open system. Again, more info from a Scratch Team member.
If you disagree with these rules, feel free to make comments in the respective threads I just linked you to. Because we like to keep things neat and tidy, I'll close this - but please continue discussing this in those threads!
