Because the bad word detector is erroneously detecting bad words in those names.

Kumquats are a type of orange native to Asia that gained sudden fame on the scratch forums when a member of the scratch team found out that their signature had an image in it hosted on a website that was no longer supported. Instead of trying to remake their signature, they instead put something to the effect of “an evil kumquat ate my signature” there instead. My guess is that a lot of accounts where being made with something in their names like “evilkumquat” that the ST decided to ban it.

As for the other, I don't know.

Forum tips:
Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.
You can use the

 [code] and [/code]

tags to show other users how to format something that Scratch would otherwise format.
You can use the

 [color=color name or hexadecimal value here] and [/color]

tags to color text.

I could see why “kumquat” would not be allowed — a subset of those letters is a misspelling of an inappropriate word.

I could sort of see something similar with the first username, but this is less direct. It's probably best not to get into details, though, just to avoid talking about inappropriate words.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.
