Well, I am kindmining
and I was wondering how do I ban and unban a specific person from my multiplayer game.

I wouldn't recommend doing it because I'm not sure if it is against the rules, it's best not to do that

when green flag clicked
if <(username) = [The person you want to ban from your game]> then
stop [all v]
end

um ok?

but then can again press green flag??

when green flag clicked
if <(username) = [banned name]> then
stop [all v]
end
… // do your scripts below

If they want to join the game they can’t.

(The one below might be against the rules, but I’ll show it anyways.)

To lag him out of existence:

define lag
lag
when [timer v] > (0)
if <(username) = [name]> then
Lag // run without screen refresh
end

Hmm…
Laging can still keep him
I use the first one

Even if you use the code @greifercube used, the person you want to ban (which may not be allowed) can simply use a different account because then the code won't detect the username. Or they could sign out of Scratch and play. I wouldn't recommend this though.

They won't be able to update cloud variables unless they have an account with Scratcher status so being signed out won't work and if they need banning once a second account has Scratcher status you just add that account.

There's little point banning someone if the project doesn't use cloud data.

why can't we ban ??
I am making a cloud chat and if anyone says swears then will have to get BANNED

Ok, first of all, cloud chats are banned. You can read more about it here.

And the swearing problem is the reason why cloud chats are banned. The Scratch Team can not moderate these projects. I understand that you are trying to prevent this problem, but you would need a blacklist of swear words, so you would need to type the words in a list or something. Then people could see these words when they see inside your project.

However, you CAN make a chat with pre-made messages, such as the one in @griffpatch's Cloud Platformer Multiplayer Fun game.

also thanks for the lag script, I needed that
