Hi I made a scratch chat project that has censoring, I'm not sure if it meets guidelines or not https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/934616855/editor/

If you follow this policy, you are fine.

Quoting the FAQ of the announcement:
What do you consider to be a cloud chatroom project?

Any project that allows others to enter free text that can be read by someone else, or provides another means for people to communicate freely through a project.

Will my project with cloud-based chat functionality be removed?

We will be removing projects with cloud based chat, yes. If you wish to re-share the project, you will need to remove the chat functionality.

What do I do if I see a project with cloud chat?

We ask that you please use the report button to let us know.

What if my cloud chat uses a whitelist of acceptable words?

We will be removing all projects we see with cloud-chat functionality, even if they have whitelists.

What if I make a chat project that has other safeguards built in or rules listed in the instructions?

If others can type or enter their own responses, it still violates this policy.

What about projects that allow people to share emojis with each other, or that use a few pre-made sentences?

These are generally fine as long as they can't be used to share content that the people viewing the project can create themselves.
