Im making a game where the player can collect and write messages using cloud variables with bottles, effectively creating a digital message in a bottle, my question is, would this follow the Terms of use for scratch, or would I have to abandon the project. If anyone could answer this question, please list the part of the ToS that this kind of game would break. I would also like some advice with bypassing the Numbers only restriction on Cloud variables.

I'm not familiar with encoding, so all I can help with is:

You'd have to make users only able to enter a pre-chosen phrase. Free-chat / Letting users type anything, irregardless of filtered or moderated, is not allowed.
EDIT: This post seems to explain encoding.
You can search for posts here.

(removed by moderator - please keep it polite) cloud chat projects are sadly not allowed. :(
