We would love it if you could approve Go Everywhere!

Thanks, and have a nice day!

A worthy goal - I would love to be able to use Scratch on portable devices! 

I do have a concern about the website though - I see that it has a chat area.  Because of the real-time nature of chatting, moderating chat areas full time is nearly impossible.  So currently we are not approving any sites that have chat areas.  Are you using it a lot?  Would you consider removing that feature?

We have locked and removed the chat so you cannot access it now.
Thanks!

Okay then, I've added it to the list

I'm pretty sure mine is safe. I don't allow comments to be posted until I check them first, and I posted a set of rules for posting comments recently. I made this website in 200..9? Or 10? I can't remember, but it's definitely at least 3 months old

Yep, it looks pretty safe!  And since your site doesn't have any forums or other fancy features, I don't think you even need permission to link to it.  Remember, the new policy says that only more complex sites need to get permission.

quick question, i understand that you do not want members emails to be leaked out to others, but why do you not allow it even with the owners consent?

just a bit curious

It's largely because a lot of the users here are young. When you post your e-mail out there, you don't know who will see it and abuse it (for example, someone can send bad messages, sign you up for some nasty spam, spoof your e-mail to do bad deeds, etc.); in an environment used by a lot of young users, sharing any sort of contact info becomes a problem. In the case of Scratch, it's just best to keep personal information private, as the Community Guidelines suggest. 

Hey guys, is there anyway you can approve the Swell Forums? Somebody says "Swell your never gonna get it approved" but its got 100+ members. Its been through tough times but I thinks its ready to be approved. Here is the link. [removed by moderator, see notification for details]

It won't.
Full of trolling and includes a chat that is easily trolled.

Be quiet Peter. You can stop trying to be mean. This actually is a good forums modded by some mature Scratchers and friends of mine.

I'm not being mean. I was never being me. I'm trying to tell you that your forums can get trolled easily and every not swell member knows this.
You have a chat which is against the Scratch Rules.
And my forums are actually approved, so I'm trying to give advice to you.

That's enough, let the Scratch Team members in charge of website approval be the judge of what personal sites gets whitelisted and what does not.

4. does not have chatting

There's rule four. I suggest you remove the chat before you even try, cause it already breaks a rule.

Hi I am a member of the forums Swell posted and I say its a good forums.

We have tight banning system on there, like if somebody cusses BAM! I edit it and they get a strike.

Thank you. He was being mean last night about my forums not getting approved, he also threatened us.

How com ethe link that I just posted above wasn't censored?

Hey guys I have a question why is chatting not allowed? I mean, the people on my forums have parties on there and stuff.

Well, do you have mods on 24/7?

what if the website censors certain phrases and words in a chat area? this is theoretical by the way.

My site, TVflea.weebly.com doesn't have a chat or a forum and I am the only person who can control what goes on the site. It was made in march so, yeah.

Since it doesn't have any complex features...you don't need permission to link to it from Scratch.  Go right ahead
