I have a theory that if you play two cloud games at the same time, or the same cloud game with the same account from 2 different machines, you may be being blacklisted. It seems to have happened to my account. I can read cloud variables but not write them. Not even from the editor!
I guess whatever they did to stop cloud hackers also wiped up some innocent accounts.
It appears it also includes people using scratchattach, like my alt account, but that's somewhat reasonable.

umm i found out is that a lot of accounts are overloading the servers no hackers and stuff

Wow…. SO it's not just me.. I KNEW there was something bad happening with cloud variables.

It seems there is ALWAYS an issue with these every year, I don't understand why……. Is it the servers going down due to overload, or is it just hackers?.. :-/

I think it is hackers, most likely @(removed by moderator - please don't name names)and his/her alts.
It is not hackers, likely.

Most “hackers” can't do much other than change the cloud variables

They could only go down if there was a major oversight, or the ST pulled the plug.

can replicate. no cloud projects work.

true not hackers just a buncha inocent scratch accounts used servers all at once it overloaded the servers it is best to use them at a time that students will not be using the variables

If cloud variables are up, you might have to rename them to get them to work.

I agree. I have a project it is free cloud chat but while testing the « bad words detector », I typed I bad word but cloud blocked right at this moment so it is blocked on a bad word. I unshared it to avoid reports.

Wdym bad words detector? If its an online game no one should be able to use bad words because st does not allowed free chats, if you want ur players to chat you need to add a whitelist, a white list is were the cant chat freely, but instead they have to choose a list of pre-written words

Example:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [1 v] pressed?> then
say [Hi]
end
end

And you can also use lists to show ur players what pre-ritten words there are

tv-man-best

I dont even know why this is happening, Guess turbowarp isnt turbo wrapping me

You cannot have a free chat list on scratch. It is prohibited. You have to create a whitelist… (sometimes not reliable) it is the best.

I just became a Scratcher, and I just cannot use cloud servers, etc.
