Thx for your support! I didn't even know there were rules about extensions, should I add that to my post?

Sure! Add that so the ST can finally not ban people for their own blame for not adding that rule, so stupid lol.

Yeah, me too, I expected an ST member to post something, but nothing yet

Perfect example: under “Be honest”, one of the elaborations should be “rallying support for a project to break a statistics record.”

Would anyone expect this to go under “Be honest”? No.
Is that the section of the Community Guidelines the Scratch Team cites when removing such content? Yes.

Thanks for letting me know! I can add that to my post, I'm just not totally sure what it means. Is it like wanting to get lots of loves and faves on your project? Because that really shouldn't be illegal, I'm weirded out if it is

I think the opposite should happen, where the community guidelines page is removed and redirects to the Wikipedia page on “common sense”.

Most children like me HATE reading Long, Lengthy articles, like the ones you linked, that edplain something as simple and short as common sense, they would usually just skim through it or not read it at all at least I would, bit for the current CG, it's so short we actually take our time to read it at least from my perspective

Human nature is to judge a book by it's cover, and my automatic response to a Wikipedia link would be, a long, lengthy, boring complicated arcticle (I did read it though)

- You can have a shared account only with immediate family members (siblings, parents, etc.), but not friends or extended family members.

This is actually false, apparently! And my sister and I got alerts because of this.

To make a long, infuriating story short, my sis and I made a shared account and discussed some potential usernames in the comments; the account got banned and we each got an alert. I thought, ‘this is just a misunderstanding, they’ll unban us once I explain that we are siblings'.
BUT as it turns out, ALL shared accounts are not allowed, even with family members!
I had looked up the rules before making the account to make sure that the rules had not changed, because we have made shared accounts with another family member before a long time prior to this, and that account was never banned or deleted or anything. So I checked, and on the only thing I could find on the topic said that shared accounts between family members are allowed, but when I emailed Contact Us, they claimed that this is not the case. The account got unbanned, but I am still pretty mad about this.

TL;DR: The ST really needs to post the rules that they are enforcing, rather than causing a lot of drama because they're telling people that things are no longer allowed when it says nowhere else on the site that these things are against the rules.

Please update the rules, ST!

Did you state you are siblings on the profile? There isn't a way to tell, and if you really are siblings you probably would have discussed names irl, even if you are siblings the ST decided to ban you incase.
