But “obesity” just describes someone’s weight - it’s not inherently a bad word. Also, the Scratch Team should’ve changed my name instead of deleting my account along with all my forum posts - all my work was destroyed!
It wasn’t for ban evading, it was for “continuing to break the guidelines” despite breaking none on that account, and don’t say “the guidelines you broke were you ban evading” since my ban page on obesityoftheold explicitly said “you are free to create a new account”
It was for ban evading but I had already used contact-us and they had given me the green light to continue using thatphysicsforumer - heck, they even apologised for the false ban on my second account! Yet they banned me today.
No hate to @mybearworld at all since it’s my fault for missing out a few details, but I feel that the Scratch Team are completely in the wrong.
ObesityOfTheOld was not a great name, but everything after that shouldn’t have happened. I didn’t know an OK was given to continue the account, and suspect a lack of moderator communication was at play here. I’m sorry for what I’ve said below.
People disagree (should’ve seen this coming honestly), the reason is that the first account, ObesityOfTheOld, was removed pretty fairly (not that great of a username, might’ve been done with good intentions? but also not really explained anywhere) PhysicsFanaticMan being banned for ban evading is reasonable. Banning ThatPhysicsForumer for ban evading is also reasonable, and accidentally redirecting to PhysicsFanaticMan is not a crime. Not sure why people feel the need to evade bans they feel unjust, that won’t help and you can’t blame the ST for taking action there.
There are a lot of reasons to be unhappy about the Scratch Team. This isn't one of them.
My 3rd account, thatphysicsforumer, just got banned for “ban evading” and that I should log in to “physicsfanaticman” to learn more, when that account is deleted and that ban reason was the one mentioned below (the vague one of “your account is banned for breaking the community guidelines when I haven’t broke any) and that I had already got a contact-us response saying I could continue with that account.
Why do I deserve to be treated like this?
My first account, @obesityoftheold, got blocked for an “inappropriate username” (it’s because obesity is a problem amongst old people in the Netherlands) and now my 2nd account, PhysicsFanaticMan, got blocked for the following:
Your Scratch account has been blocked for continuing to break our Community Guidelines.
When I know I never broke any guidelines and they didn’t provide me with any comments that broke the guidelines?
After all my hard work on the forums with my posts the last week, this is how the Scratch Team treats me.

I agree now, sorry - I thought because you left it out you didn’t actually receive an OK from the Scratch Team, so it made sense. With what I know now, this was indeed unjust.
