How do Bans work?
How do Bans work?
I know your actual account have to get reported to get banned, but what are other ways? (just curious)
If your projects get taken down enough, does that result in a ban? If so, does it depend on how often they're taken down, or how many are taken down?
Like if 10 get taken down over 10 years, is that equal to 10 getting taken down in 1 week? Would you still be banned?
And also, does the project have to do with it as well, are worse projects more likely to get you banned?
I just wanna know exactly how the system works

How do Bans work?if you write inappropriate/problematic comments and those get taken down by the scratch team as well as getting many mutes you can get banned (though it depends on severity)

for projects, it also depends on severity too. You are more likely to get banned if the projects that are taken down are very inappropriate over a short period of time iirc
edit: 10 projects getting taken down in a week might guarantee a ban compared to 10 projects getting taken down over 10 years

note that if you get mass reported you might automatically get banned for 90 minutes while the Scratch Team goes and checks to see if it was a mistake or not

And also, people who try to work around bans may have a block placed on their entire network.
