Internet problem... I need your opinion

There is a website(and no, i won't give a link) that gives people ‘Internets’. Don't ask me what they are, i don't know.

Anyway, some scratch users(and no, i'm not naming and shaming) give secret links to the website, or say “Give me an internet!” and a link.
When you click the link, it says “If you were tricked or asked to give an internet, please don't”.

This is breaking that sites rule.

Should scratchers continue doing this, or should they ban it? or should i just ignore it?

Thanks in advance,

@PrincessFlowerTV

Internet problem... I need your opinion

You should probably report the users, as they are breaking one of the Scratch Community Guidelines:

Be honest.
Don’t try to impersonate other Scratchers, spread rumors, or otherwise try to trick the community.

These people are trying to trick the community.
I am not the best person to answer your question, though, so you may want to try to get some help from the Scratch team. You really should also provide a link to the users, some of the posts, or the website. Hope this helped!

They have chosen not to name the scratchers, as that is naming and shaming.

Warning: Complicated, and mind blowing.
Zeno's Paradox: I can prove you can't get anywhere. Before you get from where you are to where you wish to go, you first have to go halfway to the endpoint. From there, you go half of the remaining way. And halfway, on and on, but you can never reach your goal, because there will always be the smallest fraction of space you haven't gone through.
I can also prove you can't move. Similar to the above, I will use the same principals to prove you can't move. We already know that to get to your destination, you must first go halfway. In addition, before you get to the halfway point, you must first go halfway to the halfway point. And then before you get there, you must first go halfway. And on and on, you get smaller and smaller fractions of space you must first travel to. You can never move away from where you are.
Go here for more paradoxes!! Wow, this is a long sig. Bring the semicolon back to life! I'm a New Scratcher with 500+ posts!

Sorry about that! If you are don't want to shame the users, not naming them is OK with me. I apologize for the misunderstanding

That website is simply the Internetometer, and it's just a fun thing that people can do. It's not straight-up asking for you to give an internet; instead, it's just there if you want to. It's just to explain what it is.
It's just a friendly competition site, and nothing that serious.

Yeah, it's just a fun trend that has nothing to do with the Community Guidelines.

Good point.

But what about if a photo is a link to it? it is TECHNICALLY ‘Tricking the community’ and ‘tricking people into giving you Internets’
What should i do about those siggys? report them, ban them, or ignore it?

It's not even a serious website; you shouldn't worry about it.
Also, it says that you just shouldn't give an Internet if you were tricked, so TECHNICALLY it's just your decision.
