Remove The Adding Accounts With Same Email Thing

Hi there,
I've been noticing that on Scratch you can add as many accounts as you want with the same email. Which is a good thing, to create alts etc. But I've seen that if your account got banned you can just right away make a new account. Plus, this isn't super helpful when trying to recover your username/password with your email but you have multiple accounts.
Instead of removing this entirely there are a few other ideas I am suggesting:
Possibly you could add a feature where you can make up to 2 accounts with the same email, OR, remove the part where a banned person's email can just go ahead and make another account?
This was probably a dumb idea but I still wanted to bring it up!
Thank you!

No Support - I have 4 accounts with the same email and I don't see a problem with it. Resetting passwords isn't a problem either for me.

I think that it is already possible to ban emails but is only done when one ban evades. (I have not been banned, however, so I don't know)
Anyways, this wouldn't stop people from making new accounts when banned as they could just use a different email and would mostly stop innocent people from making multiple.

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

IP-Bans exist for this purpose. You are trusted not to evade. If you do, your IP will get banned.

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

No support, I have at least 30 accounts with the same email, and if the ST was concerned that I would ban evade, they would have (and have already) IP banned me.

I can also confirm that if you're blocked, any accounts sharing the email will also be blocked for being alts. If they're not immediately blocked then they will be eventually if you use that account.
