I bet there will be alot of polls/votes and chat sort of projects after scratch 2.0 is released. Its lucky scratch 2.0 wasnt available in the time of the USA elections or I can imagine and uproar of debates on actual projects as well as hundreds of voting polls on scratch    We'll have to prepare for the next USA election.

We should ban such projects.....
Because Scratch is non political site. Also  That can cause a conflict between scratchers.

Thats exactly what happened in USA elections. Some election topics got even front paged! (top viewed, remixed, loved and new projects)
Remixed for people adding their votes
Loved from people who agree with that person on political stuff
Viewed for people who find it interesting.
It was a disaster, heated arguments in comments etc.
That was without cloud variables...
Here is an example of one such project that got front paged. (most viewed I think)
Check its comments 

What's wrong if young people are interested in politics? Politics is important for all of us, so why shouldn't we make Scratch projects dealing with politics, elections, political parties and so on?

People could get in arguments about politics.

People could get in arguments about anything. As long as the ultimate goals of a Scratch project are not to be false-information propaganda, purposefully harmful or explicit, or strike down any Scratcher's personal belif, then we all should be OK with the project.

In Scratch 2.0, I hope that the overall desire to enhance one's programming abilities and to learn things from others inside a helpful community will override any hatred toward others. As long as the project isn't hateful toward another specific person or group, then we all should be fine with the project existing 

Let's make Scratch 2.0 a fresh start, with no hatred and plenty of creativity!

So we should add a filter of politics .
To filter out politics.
Can you show me how to make a chat-room script with cloud variables in script workshop ?

I didn't think chat rooms were going to be allowed.

Maybe instead of removing such projects entirely, we could mark them as Not for Everyone (which basically means that the project can't be frontpaged but people can still view it)

That a perfect suggestion , I think.
are chat rooms really not going to be allowed?

well, considering they're already not allowed, they shouldn't be allowed in 2.0...

So, what sort of new blocks will it have?

Here's some blocks for 2.0!

if () or ()
  
end

wait until () or ()

broadcast [v] or [v]

previous costume

<mouse up?>

repeat until () or ()

Chatrooms are going to be allowed, in fact, I have one of my own on the site (Yeah, I'm an alpha tester).

I kinda doubt that most of those'll be implemented...

WOW, there was some heated argument in those comments!

Why not just use the "or" operator...? And for <mouse up> just do <not<mouse down>>, and for previous costume do switch to costume ((costume #)-1)

Yes, you can do all of those in 1.4.

If <<>or<>

end
wait until <<boolean1> or <boolean2>>

broadcast [message1 v]
broadcast [message2 v]

switch costume to ((costume#)-(1))

<not<mouse down?>>

I've been on several (like 777w's and laternpfahl's) but I'm not sure if they'll be allowed when 2.0 becomes public. Because right now (and especially in alpha, with just us curators and mods) there aren't too many people and most of them the Scratch Team trusts, they may allow it.

Or have the ST said "chatrooms are going to be allowed in when 2.0 comes out"?
