Apparently adding Parenthesized delete to the end of his name will block him

Added to the list under long usernames and marked as a deleted user.

The biggest irony of all time - saying that usernames contained PII and so are not listed, then listing a username with PII immediately afterward

Cool I made a list of funny usernames as well Directory of funny usernames

I rephrased that to make it look a little less ambiguous now. Though, @mike.marc is listed because it is the 201st user to join Scratch and it was found earlier on, and the rest of the usernames that contained PII were not discovered yet.

Did Jeffalo find these usernames during his internship?

Ooh! Now we can verify the existence of users like @wat\, @a, and @r!

Update: @TheUncannyScratcher23 has been added to the list as this topic by @kamoz99 caught my attention.
Also moved the positions of the GDPR accounts in the “Long usernames” list so that the usernames are arranged in alphabetical order and not by the length of the usernames – two-hit ordering was possible with this set of usernames only.

For accounts that don't contain invalid characters, you can do
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/a/followers
and
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/r/followers

How are people making usernames with more than 20 characters?

hotcrystal

There’s also a user called TheUncannyScratcher23 (who I’ve interacted with before) with a username longer than 20 characters.
Edit: nvm it’s already on there

These I know that they are accounts that were requested to be deleted by European Rules and Scratch changed their username.

Bumpity bump bump bump.

A new batch of 2-character usernames are being created somehow.

Recently, it seems that several new 2-character username account are being created (despite the fact that that should be impossible). For example, @00, @kk, and @ba. How are they doing this?

This topic will be deprecated soon due to the first post no longer being editable and the updated post instead being on page 33 which creates some inconsistency here. Creating a new topic for this will minimize the likelihood of confusion.

When I create the new topic for this I will edit this post to include a link.

To be added:

scratch%0A and some more undocumented usernames with newlines
00 and other newly-created 2-character usernames using an exploit, possible for the first time since the 1.0 days

Discuss Scratch
