Will I get banned for using my account on two devices?

I'm using Scratch on my tablet right now while waiting for my MAP on my computer to load. Would I get banned for having my account on two devices at the same time?

No, it will just log you out of the last device you signed into. You won't be banned if nothing is wrong.

Very unlikely, but if you work on the same project, half the work won't save.

No, but what might happen is that you might get logged out of your account on the last device you used. Basically, if you switch to a tablet from a computer, the computer will probably log out of the account. But no, you won't be banned for this as far as I know.

Lol I answered at the same time

No, there would be no reason for that to happen. I use(d) my account on over 4 devices and I'm still here.

Okay. I saw someone say somewhere that they got blocked for using their account at the same time so I wasn't too sure.

Nope. I do that all the darned time, sometimes with three devices at once.

I have no “source” but Im pretty sure this wouldn't happen unless it was two different ip addresses. but there could be an algorithm that if an account is open on two devices the account automatically gets banned same with mass reported projects they get taken down automatically by an algorithm

If that were the case, using Scratch while on mobile data would get you banned.

Using more than one IP doesn't get you blocked (if it did, whoo, that would nearly be the entire community banned because almost everyone, even some of the ST, uses an internet connection with a dynamic IP!)

I would just advise not logging on multiple devices (unless you're using the same internet connection for all of them) when working on a Scratch project, because Scratch will cause a login to expire when it detects a new login on a different IP, and the last thing you want is to lose your project progress because you logged in using a different device using a different IP.
