Is Remix Spamming and User Blocking Allowed?

Snowshade99

While I was scrolling around some of my friend's projects, I found a guy who was remixing their projects with messages: “SkyxBF 2025” and “Mammal AU banned” and blockers that doesn't allow the original creator and his friends to view and comment.

That guy was Blocking out Users and Remix Spamming. I wondered if that is allowed on the Scratch Guidelines

Nope, report them.

User Blocking is not allowed as it is not being welcome to everyone and breaks the Community Guidelines:

That isn't really relevant towards this

I think the OP means using the

(username)

block to prevent certain users from using projects, and turning off comments.

Yeah, that's definitely not allowed. Report the project.

You have to use a whitelisted image host, such as cubeupload. You could instead put the image in a project, and link that here.

It's against rules to make projects, that intentionally crash the website.
Report the project, that does it…

Hey, don't eat toasts from my lunchbox… :D

By the way, once you have gotten a satisfactory answer, you might want to unshare that project.
No, it isn't allowed. Report the project for “Other” and enter that it blocks certain people from using it and that it crashes Scratch.
