THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. I was just wondering, what would happen if a member of the ST broke one of the community guidlines (not that they would). Would they receive a warning like everyone else, or would something else happen?

They'd probably be kicked off the ST if it isn't minor.

Minor: Maybe a break (like not working for x Days)
Major: (Never going to happen) fired.

Very major: Fired, banned, and possibly charged with sabotage

I assume they'd be given a warning by their employer for the first time. If they continued to break the guidelines, they might be suspended from their job. That's just my guess though.

They have things like shared accounts, which would be banned if they were regular accounts.

I'm pretty sure all Scratch Team members are extremely good at following the Community Guidelines. To break the CG's as a ST member would be a big deal, as it would give off a really negative impression of the ST as a whole (and it would most certainly betray the trust of the Community). I think knowing that would be enough to ensure that everyone on the ST follows the CG's.

Hypothetically speaking, if one of them was to break the CG's, then I'm sure there would (at the very least) be a discussion as to whether or not they should stay on the Scratch Team.

They can break certain guidelines but not any that are too bad.

I know on the Credits page up until quite recently, all of the ST members had their full names shown on there. This was changed because they felt that it doesn't follow their own guideline on not sharing personal information.

They would be assasinated or banned

No they won't be assasinated, they might just get sued by MIT.

I don't think someone would be killed for breaking the scratch community guidlines

Yeah, of course they would!

lol they wouldn't. if they were the scratchteam would get in a whole load of legal trouble

This could and probaly has happened before, however they might get a warning by their superiors or something I don't think they would be fired unless they did something that was not on the guidlines that was to do with their job or they did something that did break the guidlines that was terrible, I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that one of the most popular scratchers who is also a st member broke the guidlines with one of their projects (I thoink it might have breached the face reveal GL) , no matter ewho it is you should always report stuff

The Scratch Team tends to be pretty chill about the rules, I've found.

Actually, for the first one it is allowed. Face reveals aren't allowed, but you can have your face in a project as long as seeing it is not the main focus because that would be a face reveal. As for the second one, how do you know Miku is not a human who does exist somewhere?

Play with my face V2? That sounds like the project's main focus is mres' face. Also, that's what I originally thought as well, but turns out any project with your face isn't allowed. Faces in your profile picture are allowed, though.

If a human does have the name of a vocaloid robot, then it would still be improper credit because Ceebee (lol I misspelled her name on the image, sorry Ceebee) would be crediting some random person.

The reason that is improper credit is because she is crediting solely Hastune Miku, a vocaloid robot.

For correct credit, she would have to credit the writer of the song, the lyricist, the remixer (the one who added Miku's voice) and Yamaha for creating Hastune Miku.

The first one, see BSC's post; it's not against the CGs. The second one, technically Miku is the official songwriter of that song (even though she isn't a real person, and her artist name is Hatsune Miku, not Miku Hatsune).

1. Read my post above.

2. Hastune Miku CANNOT write songs! She is a robot by Yamaha! People buy her and use a program to make her sing stuff!

Sorry for using exclamation points. ;-;
