I'm pretty sure those don't count.

I think it's only if you accent the “kaj” part, like “KajReturns” or “TheRealKaj”.

What if a new person with the initials K, A and J wanted to make an account based on that?

Something like KAJ1000.

That might happen.
(Not really)

Why not?

Just kidding…

But it's not that likely that someone would have those initials…

Both NeilWest and I have the same first and last initials. It's not that unlikely that anyone would have a certain initial…

Nah, but exactly KAJ? Both first, last and middle? And that person deciding to make their username their initials?

I know it might happen, but it's pretty unlikely.
Completely unlikely
Besides, I'm sure the Scratch team would talk to that user about it if it ever happened.
Which it won't. Probably.

I don't see your logic. Just plop a common middle name after a K name, while coincidentally having a J for you last name, and your child's initials are KAJ. And they probably won't know who KAJ was anyways.

You never know, people are coming up with pretty weird names these days.

Those were initials, not an actual name. But there actually ARE people named Kaj.

OK, I'm wrong, you're right. It's very likely for someone to have the initials KAJ.

Agreed.

Also, there can be names from other countries.

Yup, my username is Indonesian, or to be specific, Javanese, a local language

1. On KajtheModerator's project, there were several complaints on there.
2. In Lightnin's Kaj project, it states that anyone impersonating Kaj and saying they'll hack someone should be reported (if that's any help).

Also, Kajus is the 9th most common Lithuanian name.
Or,
what if your name was “Kaitlyn Anna Johnson”? Those are pretty common names…

You do know this topic isn't about figuring out how many people in the world are called “Kaj”?

Anyway, I think I have enough replies here to turn this topic into a reference (with special thanks to StarscreamClone). Thank you everyone for the help!

With thanks,

It's okay. Expressing your opinion is a good thing. The only thing I ever worried about (and only barely) was a flame war, especially on this topic, but everything turned out fine.

Just to add a bit to this…I am not aware of any “rule” about blocking all accounts with “kaj” in them. We do, however, block any accounts that pretend to be the “dreaded” kaj - and then threaten to “hack” people - that has happened a number of times.

As for KajTheModerator - that's my account that I created as an April Fools Day prank. He always acted respectfully and never hacked anybody
