So, I want to make an account with the username Pixeiducko to (hopefully) avoid impersonation – would it be allowed? It has a very similar username to my account, so I'm afraid the ST will ban it for impersonating myself.

So, do you mean as an alternate account for testing and remixing?
That's okay, so long as you don't break the Community Guidelines and so long as you don't use the account if your main account is banned.

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a block.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is not relevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps

play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]

end

say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

If you're afraid that the account might be reported for impersonation, you can mention in your main account's “About me” that you own that account.

You can also not use that account and request it to be deleted (to make sure that the account does not get hacked, create a many-symbol password that you will forget shortly after, and do not confirm your email (you can pick one that does not exist))
