If I got banned on my main account, would my alt accounts get banned, too?

Lately I've been hearing a lot about reasons why accounts might get banned, and I was just curious what would happen if one of my accounts got banned. So, if one of my accounts did get banned, what would end up happening to my other accounts? Would I still be able to use those ones?

No, continuing to use alt accounts after getting banned is called ban evading and is NOT allowed.

While your other accounts might not get banned, using them while banned on any account is against the rules.

yeah, in general the scratch team bans people, not accounts. otherwise that kinda defeats the purpose.

Yes, they will be deleted. They aren't asking if it's allowed.

Speaking from experience, 40+ of my alts have been banned as I was permanently banned before.

Yes, but if an alt is somehow not banned and you continue to use it, you'll likely receive and IP ban, which is permanent.

Yes. If you use your alt accounts after your main got banned your alts can get banned as well.

It depends. When I got blocked for “guessing passwords” (I wasn't, don't ask.) all of my accounts under my email address were banned, and my IP was banned as long as my account was. However, I just had an account banned for being solely for bots, and it did not affect any other accounts.

Ban message wrote:

Your Scratch account has been permanently blocked for creating or impersonating a bot or other form of artificial intelligence. Scratch is for humans, and we do not allow bot activity of any kind. Our Community Guidelines state, “It’s important to be honest and authentic when interacting with others on Scratch,” because we want everyone to have a safe, welcoming, and genuine experience on Scratch. You are welcome to create a new account, but please follow the Community Guidelines when using Scratch.

So some bans allow you to, some do not. But what people have said about using alts when they should've been banned still applies. In my first ban, it would have been a bigger deal if I had used an alt, and it probably would have gone from 1 week to a permanent IP ban. However, in the second case, it specifically states that only that account was banned, and my other accounts were not affected. I imagine you'd also still be able to create a new account, for example, if you had an inappropriate username.

A lot of times, only the account that did something wrong gets banned. You physically would be able to use the other accounts, but it would not be allowed. If you get banned, you should send an appeal instead of using another account to avoid the ban.

If the ban message says you can create another account it's ok to use an alt, if it doesn't or tells you not to you can't.

Yes. If one account is banned, you can consider all your other accounts banned. Wait out or try to appeal the ban.

Using one account while another is banned results in more bans and more restrictions.

And if you can't your alts will be banned with “This account was blocked because another account of yours was blocked.”

Yes, a person on Scratch, (removed by moderator - please don't name names) had done a ban speedrun on scratch with an alt and got all his accounts banned. He later apeeled to the Scratch Team and they said he could only use one of his accounts. He chose (removed by moderator - please don't name names), and no word has been said about it since.
