You probably already know that my main acc, TheDeafCreeper, got banned for a week. That isn't the point. And I'm not saying that I want an Operation Do-Over either since me and other scratchers have gotten banned for no reason. The point is that Scratch needs an Operation Do-Over to fix the crud that is their system. 4 mutes for wording something wrong or making a typo and you're banned for a week. That isn't what happened, the real thing is suspicious: Shortly after a scratcher got banned for a fake password leak that someone made up, my friend @musicmuse9 or Aaron, got banned for venting. Nothing inappropriate, just venting. So me and another friend, Mothman, make a petition. Only though, I made an extra project (my thank you project, again, THANKS SO MUCH FOR 100 FOLLOWERS!) talking about him. Wham. A bit later I get hit with a mute for something. A vent/funny story about a little kid that crawled under me to steal candy that day. I get ready for bed, and put my devices in their chargers. At 7am I checked scratch and the scratch team conveniently decided to ban me more than 5 HOURS after the comment was made, when I would be asleep. Why did they do it so late? My guess is they wanted to give me a little surprise when I woke up, or that a scratch team member was in a different time zone. Possibly both. Anyways what SHOULD happen is that Scratch shouldn't jump to banning someone over a few mistakes. I'm not saying there should be no punishment, but the rules need to be changed. I didn't violate a single thing on the Scratch Community guidelines and I still got banned. You can comment homophobic stuff and say it in your bio that you h@te gay people but you won't get banned until someone notices and cares. (Actual personal experience I had) and no, I don’t hate gay people, I’m gay myself!) Meanwhile the stuff that shows up on the radar is tiny things like typos. Sorry if it sounds like I’m being whiny about my ban. Honestly, I kinda appreciate it! It’s taught me to have more patience, and stop going on scratch 24/7 because I’m worried that I missed a message. Anyways, the system should work like this: if you try to post something against the community guidelines, but aren’t successful (scratch catches you) then, depending on what rule it broke and how bad the comment is, you should get muted from anywhere from 5 minutes to a day. If you get 7 mutes that are over a hour, then you get banned for a week. If you get 7 more, 2 more weeks. 7 more, 3 weeks. 7 more, a month. If you continue and you finished your ban for a month, you’ll be banned permanently. As for the stuff that flies under the radar? Let’s say that a guy “leaks” a popular scratcher’s password. Scratch’s system should catch that, and ban him for a month or something, idk. If it doesn’t, and the comment gets reported, which is what happened, scratch should ban the person for a month or permanently, and check to see if it’s the real password, since they have data on your account. Since this is true, what actually happened was that some guy “leaked” a popular scratcher’s password, the comment got reported and scratch permanently banned the popular scratcher for nothing. This is a problem. Other scratchers are getting banned for no reason. In the next update, scratch should do a Operation Do-Over on their system. Fix the mistakes they made and change some stuff. Now, I know that the scratch team is small and that it’s DEFINITELY not easy to make a new system. I’m just asking for some changes so that innocent people stop getting banned for no reason. And I don’t want the system to be exactly the same as my example, the scratch team can change as many things as they want, as long as it stops the innocent people getting banned.
I know what the title says, but I didn't do anything bad to get banned. I just thought it was a good title! Operation Do-Over is a great book! Thumbnail is based off of Gordon Korman's book. I made the font by hand letter by letter.
