Scratch Team Approved Websites
After looking around the forums, people like to add the "Scratch Team Approved" text after their websites. What I've been thinking is what if there was an image that shows that the user-site is approved. http://scratch.mit.edu/(insert smile face right after the link)
What it could do is check if the domain is approved, and if it is, it would add a smiley face or the Scratch Cat head like with the _meow_ in the comments.
Maybe even add that to the Moderators and Scratch Team member's names instead of the plain old asterisk (*).
What are your thoughts?

Re: Scratch Team Approved Websites
The problem with such a suggestion is that the Scratch team has no control over the contents of external sites.
A site could initially be approved and then the site owner could change the content of the site to something that would not be approved.
The Scratch team can not continuously check the contents of all external web sites. They have much better things to worry about, like Scratch 2.0.

http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=73260 <- All my suggestion would do is just add some image to the end of links to those websites. Nothing else. It would be easier for reporting unapproved sites.

I think it would just stay the same, since I don't want to see red links if someone is posting a link to a tutorial or even another Scratch project.

Re: Scratch Team Approved Websites
Since they probably already have a list of them, it shouldn't be too hard.
