I saw something where a person got banned for posting “vents” what is venting? Just want to know so I don't get banned.

vents— or vent posts —are ways of expressing emotion. vents can be positive or negative, with most being negative. “i am concerned about the creator of this project” is a reportable offense, which is most likely why they got blocked if the account was a vent account. reporting for this reason (if valid) will give the scratcher that shared the project a list of mental health hotlines. i don’t know what the block looks like, and i suggest using “contact us” to find out why they were blocked. remember: the reason won’t be exact.

Thank you

Note that ST doesn't tell users beside the user that got blocked why they got blocked - it's only between ST and the person that got blocked.

that’s why i said the reason won’t be exact…

The Scratch Team won't discuss other users' bans at all; they won't even confirm whether or not a user is blocked in the first place, much less give the reason or some vague hint of it.
