Advertising is a form of spam.It's not the form of spam if it is not done repeatedly, and “67 67” is not advertising.

The OP did say that he advertised 67, and according to the scratch wiki, advertising is spam.

Well, I think OP meant that that is what they got punished for in the block note / alert… maybe OP doesn't agree with STs definition of advertising though.Advertising is a form of spam.It's not the form of spam if it is not done repeatedly, and “67 67” is not advertising.

It's generally considered spam, and a lot of people think it's annoying. It's as simple as that.

Your account was probably suspended because Scratch does not allow advertising or repeating numbers, words, or memes in a way that looks like spam.
Even if “67” is a meme to you, the Scratch Team and filters may see it as advertising, spam, or low-quality posting. Scratch rules apply the same to jokes and memes as to regular messages.
The suspension is not personal — it’s just how the moderation system keeps Scratch safe and clean for everyone. You can avoid this in the future by making sure your posts add clear meaning or help to the discussion.
