Welp, the Scratch Team have ended it.
They somehow interpreted my comment of “I only did 1 interview and that was on an external site, not on Scratch” to “I was inviting people to go onto external sites”. They used this reasoning to deny my appeal. Wow.
I’m currently considering suing Scratch.
i feel like the value you’d get from being on the Scratch community certainly isn’t worth the stress, trouble, time, and cost of litigation. if you're committed in learning to code/joining a community online, there are plenty of other ones. I don't mean to be rude/blunt, but a lawsuit would almost certainly fail, and I think you should instead get over this and move on (if you really want to use Scratch, you can still download the offline editor). :)
