Hello Scratch Community,

Many Scratchers get banned so this tutorial post will help you get unbanned.

1) Don’t go on an alt or create a new account.
While it may be tempting, don’t go onto one of your alt accounts or go make a new one. Scratch Team can see you and your old account share a computer or IP address. This, according to ST member Paddle2See, “we block your alts and reset ban time”.
2) To dispute a ban, contact appeals@scratch.mit.edu to arrange it. Be polite and honest. Don’t say I was hacked! unless you really were.
If you say some random person hacked you but ST data shows only your computers, it’s kind of obvious that you’re lying. And don’t lie in your appeal. Paddle2See also told me: “A lot of ppl say “My older brother hacked me!” so much it starts to sound more and more like ‘Dog ate my homework’. Just be honest, the ST wants to unban you
3) Try not to get banned again. Even if you do get unbanned, a second ban may see you not even get a chance to appeal. And the ST may not alert you if you get banned again — especially for the same thing you got banned/alerted for in the past. Also, you’re likely to be unbanned the first time, but your chances decrease every time. Also, if you are a minor (under 18) and have been banned in the past, ST may ask your parent, teacher or guardian submit an appeal instead, or even call the ST as this is harder to fake.
4) Some Scratchers do something quite bad, known as a shock or shocker. They are comments or project that are extremely bad, mean or inappropriate and so when they try to sign in it will say ‘This account has been deleted!’ This may also happen for those who have received many alerts or bans in a short amount of time.
Hope this helps! If you have an idea for an edit, please tell me or if this info helped.

But use show and tell, not help with scrips!

This doesn't belong anywhere in Help with Scripts, or anywhere else. We aren't having any more guides in the forums.

show and tell is for projects and studios, not guides.

Nice guide! This should be moved to questions about scratch though!

Hello! It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers. However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment. Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on the group welcoming topic or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the "Help With Scripts“ and ”Questions About Scratch" areas

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the Scratch Wiki - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on. They have a number of guides - and great organization.
