TeenScratch?

There are a lot of kids on Scratch that are teenagers. And they want to post projects that would could get flagged, but aren't all THAT bad. So I am suggesting TeenScratch, for Scratchers 12 and up. And to upload projects to TeenScratch, the next version of Scratch could have a button you click on the upload-box-thing to send it to TeenScratch instead! And the site could also be a little like Facebook, with a chat, photo/video album, stuff like that!

Re: TeenScratch?

Divisions to the site have been discouraged in the past because it would divide the community. In addition to that, sections or labels for older audiences have also not been implemented because Scratch is a site designed to be safe and open for everyone. Not only would allowing more mature content cut much of the community off from many other users and projects, but it's risky. A simple warning or block is easily ignored, especially by kids who don't understand what they're seeing, and can expose very young kids to content they shouldn't see.

TL;DR: Scratch is a site for all ages and we don't want to divide the community. Sorry, but no.

Re: TeenScratch?

I Agree with Harakou, Scratch was made to always be "E for Everyone"
