(Unsolved!)

I remember it used to be possible to just go to https://scratch.mit.edu/users/account/projects/ , and you could see the shared projects of a deleted account. That does not work anymore, though. I saw the idea of using https://api.scratch.mit.edu/users/account/projects ; however, that will not show all the shared projects. One could search the account's username, but it probably cannot be guaranteed that all of the user's projects will show up.

See this reply to this post for more context as to why I am asking this

And another thing

Hold on, when did this stop working?
And maybe the wayback machine saved their account?

The method you describe is only possible if a user (or the Scratch Team) chooses to delete their account but not their projects. If a user (or the Scratch Team) deletes their account and chooses to delete their projects, then the projects are no longer visible. /srs

Oh okay, I thought that it was completely gone.

The one with the api, or the other method?

I did not find anything for the person's user page or their project page, but thank you.

The other one.

Except now I tried it with a profile that I've usually tested this out on, and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. So either something changed about their profile, or you are correct and something changed about the entire system.

I tried it with multiple deleted accounts, and none of them worked. So it is likely the latter.

I tried it with a few more accounts, so the latter seems more likely. (Hopefully there is not a double response to this; I responded before but it only shows when I am logged in for me)

Both of the previous replies seem to show for me, weird. Do you mean that they don't show?

At first they were only showed when I was logged in, but they seem fine now when logged off.

That's just because when you're logged out, it takes longer for things to update on the Scratch website, you'd have to wait.

Oh, okay.

Bump.

And, more context as to why I am asking this, it is because there was a user, whose account is now deleted (whether they deleted it or if Scratch deleted it I do not know). At least some of their shared projects are still up, some of which might not be suitable for Scratch (that applied to more than just their projects). I am considering sending Scratch a message through Contact Us about this situation. I remember on one of their projects they said some comments that could help to give a better idea as to what this user was like, to help show why I think some of this user's stuff might not have been suitable for Scratch. I have not found the project by searching or by some other means so far, so I thought that if I could see all their shared projects, I might be able to find the project if it is still shared.

Bump

Bump.

And, for a little more information, this user was doing some behavior that was not necessarily appropriate for Scratch.

Hello! I didn't see the whole tread, so I'm not sure if your answer is resolved or not, but let me give it a shot. I believe that it may have just been a bug, although I didn't notice it. But, the deleted account's owner may have selected the option “Delete My Projects” when in the process of deleting their account.

Thank you for responding! The answer is not resolved yet. The owner (or the Scratch Team) did not choose to delete their projects, as they still have shared projects.
