I doubt a ST member would go through and actually check through. I feel like a bot does that.
I don't think they have such bots; the ST probably saw that the banner led to a form and that's it.
I think ST thinks that the Scratch Auth collects private information because I doubt they would actually go through and check.

Well I've sent them proof through Contact Us that this wasn't the case. Now it's up to them to reply.

is external scratch oauth not allowed anymore?

I don't think the ST would want to disallow it because the wiki uses a very similar system.

After all, the reason why the ST censored Scratch Auth is because I shared links to it on Scratch.

yeah their whole reasoning is unsafe external links as you can see in the admin alerts. If you don't share a link to it there is no logical reason they can use to ban it (although they are the scratch team and might just ban it out of spite)

I think the scratch team thought that people were putting their actual scratch password in the cloud box or the comments. Then again, I don't think anyone would put passwords in the comments.

I would say it was the form they did not like. You cannot put your password into the cloud project because it only accepts numbers.

I don't think that's necessarily it. I think you can see the email of the person who made the form, and(?) potentially for the people who answer as well, which is what they have an issue with.

It’s possible the Scratch Team thought the project used a workaround that assigns letters to numbers, but I doubt it. Like you said, it seems more likely that the form was the problem.

No. The form did NOT collect email addresses. This was specified at the very top of the form when it was live.

Update: Scratch Auth now supports signing in with profile comments.
IMPORTANT: Please use this option sparingly because it puts a large load on the server. Prefer using one click sign in accounts!

And so I turned into a ninja.

Is anyone else having problems with ocular?

For topics and users, nothing shows up at all, while for posts, it shows “Invalid Date” and “undefined”.

I am. I could be a temporary change. Or the change to the Scratch API could be more.

It looks like it's back up, although it's still having some problems, especially with user pages.
