These bans should only be applied after the user has been notified on their talk page at least once for their malicious behavior actions (and in many cases, multiple times) and continued it anyway, except in egregious cases such as obvious vandalism where the user should be blocked to prevent further damage.

heres sources for test accounts

They are very common, especially among active Scratchers - this piece of information should be removed

Sometimes, test accounts will appear to be the same name as the main account by replacing lowercase “L”s with capital “i”s. - https://scratch.mit.edu/users/aiphabetica/

Often, to avoid publicizing projects unwantedly, users will share contests on their test account instead of their main. - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/420610591/

Sometimes, test accounts are used to test projects, such as projects using cloud data where people need an test account (with Scratcher status) to test if their project works. - this piece of information should be removed

I’m afraid this might be considered an advertisement for the user who you linked…

On Scratch Wiki:Unblocking, in section “Other requirements to become unblocked,” can someone please make these changes:

In addition to writing an appeal meeting the above guidelines, users wishing to be unblocked also should do the following:

• Maintain good behavior on the Scratch Website. This is necessary to show that the user can follow the Community Guidelines.
  
• Avoid harassing Wiki administrators or others involved in the ban off-Wiki (such as on the Scratch Website)
  
• Only discuss the block via the appeals channel and avoid involving other users or bringing it up on the Scratch Website (appeals sent outside the appeals channel will not be accepted)
  
• Avoid attempting to use alternate accounts or requesting more accounts to bypass the block

The reason I want to modify the second line is because this could include accepting blame while also blaming others.
The reason I want to add this line is because users should respect the decision of the Wiki administration if their appeal is denied.

Why is no one making the edits I'm suggesting here?

hi, someone has been adding weird dream (what?) references and skibidi toilet references to af pages, is that okay? not everyone likes these things and people who don't know will not get it

Example 1
“I severely vandalized multiple articles on the wiki, such as ‘Ban’ and ‘Account Deletion.’”
This appeal does not provide assurance that the user will refrain from the behavior that lead to the block if they are unblocked.
Example 2
"I edit warred on ‘Finding Direction with Velocity’ and ‘Flame War,’ when the Bold, Revert, Discuss policy did apply. In the future, if someone reverts my edit and I wish to put it back, I will start a discussion.
Also, please do not make blocks for edit-warring if the edits involved in an edit war unless the edit is not vandalism at all."
This appeal nitpicks the block and contains an attempted excuse.
Example 3
"I promise not to be disrespectful towards other editors by maintaining calmness in my actions, so unblock me or (example threat)!"
This appeal contains rude language and also does not describe what the user did wrong.
Example 4
“I have been making a significant amount of constructive edits, so unblock me.”
This appeal does not contain any of the items under “What an appeal should contain.”
Example 5
"This is my first time posting inappropriate content. Regardless, I will not try to do such things again."
This appeal does not show that a user accepts responsibility for their actions and also contains misrepresentation.
