My alternate account got blocked and the little box said that i had gossiped/spread rumors (which i would never do) , not credited the author and creator of the music (which i checked, and i did credit EVERYONE…), and the most shocking part was that it said that i used my real NAME. My name is not Kawasaki, and if they block my account, then why don't they blocked people on scratch named “Zoey”? Or Sam? and why dont they go after what people are reporting and actually looking at the project/credits?

If there's some confusion, please use contact us.

Yes, I agree what @ConfusedBiscuit said but also you should stop using this account because it's an alternate account of an account that is currently blocked so that is called “Ban Evading” and if you do ban evade it will either extend the ban or it can get this account blocked or something worse!

This sounds like (if OP isn't lying) they got caught up in an mass-banning of an offender and their alts.

But that's very unlikely, and Kawasaki sounds name-y enough, it's possible you said something you shouldn't have done, without realising just how bad what you said was.

thx

When Scratch bans you, they usually give an example of how you broke the rules. Do you remember the example they gave you?

Not necessarily - a few times when I got normal alerts I didn't get an example. I'm pretty sure the ST follows the same procedure for alerts and bans.

Spam reports don't work, the ST checks to see if you did something.

That is because you were not following guidelines, Here is the reasons for being blocked:
Not following guidelines,
Received multiple alerts for the same thing,
Resharing projects unshared by the Scratch Team without removing inappropriate content,
Making one very inappropriate project, known as a “shock project” (usually warrants a temporary ban),
And Sharing personal information.

Additionally, an account can be permanently deleted if it breaks the Community Guidelines repeatedly and deliberately, or if its offense was particularly severe.

The Community Guidelines can be found here.

Didn't the OP say that they believe they didn't do anything wrong, though?

There's a possibility that @softwaredeveloper_ may have done something wrong accidentally and didn't realize it.

While it's nice that I know you're trying to be helpful, the user's main account has since been unbanned for about 2 weeks at this point and they've said “thanks” to the advice they received on the same day that they posted that. I think by now they would've gained some extra information so they know why the ban occured and what made the ST believe that the account warranted a ban.

Closed as resolved.

Please use Contact Us if you have a question about a Scratch Team alert or an account block (that is, of course, if you own said account).
