Is it normal to be waiting multiple months for an unban?

I have friends who have gotten unabanned in the time I have been banned and I got two automated emails saying they got my message and to be patient but its been months and Idk what to do. I got permabanned for censoring a cuss word so I'm a bit salty for getting PERMANENTLY banned from the site and watching as my friends get answered whithin a week

One, if it's been that long, you're probably perma-banned. Two, don't ban evade, as no matter the situation, your other accounts will be deleted.

And what are you supposed to do??
Just sit there and never use Scratch again?
If ST don't respond, you have no idea what to do, you have no other place to ask, you've been banned and that's the end.
Where are you supposed to ask? What do you do?
If anybody can answer that…
I find it EXTREMELY unfair to just be like “ope you're concerned about why we're unresponsive and haven't got your account back yet, welp, we'll just delete your other accounts then.” like, it doesn't even make sense. There have been A. LOT. of people who have come to the forums for help, and then all people do is just tell them “stop ban evading” and it's like I want my account back, that's it. I want to know why ST aren't responding, and why I've been banned for months. Did you know there was a person that got banned for a year, and are probably still banned?
What if you don't even know how to “appeal”. What if it was a false ban and ST aren't responding? Are you just supposd to sit there and quit?
In my personal opinion, Scratch does not have good… Whatever you call it for the entire ban- that's it, doesn't have a good ban system.
So back to what I was saying, you don't know even what to do or how to possibly get your account back, or anything. You try searching- nothing.
You try asking- nothing. Maybe you don't even know how to ask.
And so finally, you come to the forums, and you don't do anything else but come to the forums, and then you
A) Don't get any answers
B) Get punished for not knowing something
C) Just get told you're ban evading, and again, nobody even answers
And this is extremely terrible and unfair. At this rate, if I were to get banned, I wouldn't even try to appeal even if it was a false ban, there's no hope for that. And

that would make me more than salty.
As you can see, just the sight of another one of these set me off, so sorry for getting angry, but still.

And there have been so many times when ST don't respond, for like ever. Yet again, unfair. There's people waiting for their accounts, and then they just wait. The end. Then when they come to the forums because they don't know what to do, ST are just like permaban and- it just makes me want to blow up.
Actually, I might have already-

This is normal, Scratch has to deal with multiple people asking for their accounts to be unbanned, some banned for good reasons and others banned unfairly, so I recommend that you try to send an appeal again, I also recommend you not make forum posts about it because almost every response will be something like this:

Stop ban evading!

if ST didn't respond for a appeal, they didn't see it or they're too busy so i'd recommend being patient and send an appeal again

Just a note: Ban Evading is interacting with the Scratch community when another account of yours is banned, regardless of the age of the account you're on.

You should search your email inbox for ‘Scratch’, and check the spam folder. Sadly, if it's been more than 30 days, then it'll be deleted, so at that point, you'll have to make another appeal, sent to appeals@scratch.mit.edu from the email of the banned account. You should also send the username of the banned account.
