Fixed
And it doesn't have to be exactly the same, just very similar

Re: Community Guidelines for your Website
From the guidelines posted on the register thread:
It's easy and educational to make your own websites, blogs, forums, chat rooms, private messaging systems, and so on. However, please remember that you are responsible for all material that you link to in Scratch comments and forum posts.
That means that, if you are going to link to your site from Scratch, everything on your site must be appropriate for all-ages and basically follow the same community guidelines as the Scratch site. Your site needs to have good procedures and security features to help you achieve this.
I italicized the important part.
The community guidelines of your site does not have to the be the same verbatim, but your website has to follow the community guidelines outlined for Scratch. Otherwise links to the websites cannot be posted here.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Are you allowed to have more rules, even if they are not on the Scratch Community Guidelines, or no?

Re: Community Guidelines for your Website
Of course. What they mean is you can't allow anything on your site that wouldn't be allowed here. If you want to make an additional rule like say "no graphics in signatures", or "no violence at all", you could do that.

Re: Community Guidelines for your Website
This is what I think: Obviously, on your own website, you can have whatever you want. If you want it to be Scratch-linked, it has to be safe for all ages.
Click the sign.

So that means you don't have to have it approved?
