IP Banned?
Got absolutely banned for no reason. Nice. Now my friends and family can’t even go on to scratch. What can I do to fix it?

IP Banned?
No, none of my other accounts were banned. Only my network. Didn’t state a reason for ban either.

Okay, cool. In that case you could probably use Contact Us to ask why the IP ban took place and/or request that the IP ban get removed.

Yeah, when you are banned, they also block your IP address. You can go to “contact us” Scratch page for help, and maybe your friends and family could use a different device or something.

Yeah, when you are banned, they also block your IP address.Well, that's not necessarily true. I've only seen this happen before when users evade bans, or claim that they have intentions of evading a ban after doing something really bad like trolling.

That’s weird, because I have never been banned on scratch or claimed to evade it.
It’s fine though, I’m currently in contact with the Scratch appeals team.
