I think the Scratch Team were asked about this... and they said no... It's a universal setting or something, so they can't do it...
You could always type:
[url]http://scratch.mit.edu[/url]
instead... The url tag still works

I think this should be enabled... people could just spend a few more seconds putting [url] tags around their links anyway.

This was enabled before... surely it could be brought back? Not that I mind using the BBCode tags.

But who is it disabled for?
I understand it's universal, but what does that have to do with not turning it on? I think everyone should be able to post links like that...

Yeah... why disable it when the trolls can just use [url] tags?

It slows them down a bit
Along with the 17-minute rule and various other barriers, they won't stand a chance.

Yay.
Have they been back?

Can't they spend part of the 1000 seconds putting in the BBCode tags? 1000 seconds is a lot of time - it only takes a few seconds to add in the BBCode tags. So... along with the 1000 seconds, disabling normal links isn't really going to help slow down the spammers.

I think they did it in the TBG.

I thought New Scratchers couldn't use the url tag anyway?

They can't for outside of Scratch.
This should be brought back for Scratchers, at least for inside of Scratch.
