I was recently dealing with this. just contact scratch team and ask to be scratcher. make sure you meet all the requirements to be a scratcher.

Hello, i see you got some issues with being a scratcher. I analized your account and it seems that you got only one shared project which the minimum is 2 but 3 recommended and the game you made right now isn't even functional. Also, I saw on your profile that you want to make an online multiplayer RPG game but the cloud variables are down right now and I don't think they would come back soon so if you got other projects to make, i would recommend to you to make the multiplayer projects last. I would also recommend for you to visit Scratch Wiki and meet all of the minimum requirements listed there.
If you didn't got acces or you just don't want to open the link, i've copied the entire page here:

Scratcher
View source
A Scratcher is the name given to users on the Scratch Website.

Registering
To become a Scratcher, one must make an account.

The following information must be entered:

Username
Password
Confirm password
Country
Birth date
Gender
E-mail address
Some of the information is used for the Scratch Statistics site.

Following this, an account will be created, with a default Scratch Cat icon.

Meaning
There has been some discussion on what a Scratcher actually is. It can be any of the following:

A user on the Scratch Website
A user that has uploaded projects
A user who uses Scratch
A user with “Scratcher” status (in contrast to the “New Scratcher” status)
The meaning most commonly used is the first: a user on the Scratch Website.

Status
When a new user joins, they are assigned the “New Scratcher” status. This poses restrictions, including not being able to use Cloud Data and waiting 2 minutes between posts on the Discussion Forums. More can be seen here. In order to get the “Scratcher” status, a New Scratcher must:

Have a verified email address.
Have at least 2 shared projects.
Have been on Scratch for a certain amount of time (at least 2 weeks, but usually 1 month).
Be active on the website. This is a big part of becoming a Scratcher. Sharing projects regularly can be a way.
Have comments and/or forum posts. (This is not necessary, but it does help.).
Love and favorite Scratch projects.
After becoming a Scratcher, one can:

Create studios
Use Cloud Data
Become a host of a studio
Have the 120-second rule reduced to the Sixty-Second Rule.

Was this reply helpfull? Please tell me in my proflile comment section. Tell me the link of this post, your username and if it was helpfull or not.
