Hi Jeffalo, there's been a rumour spreading on Scratch that you own some 2 character accounts. Is this true? The only people who I’ve seen spread this are spammers and untrustworthy people.
Here's an example untrustworthy user (check comments): https://scratch.mit.edu/users/2x/
Former example of spam (all the comments on their profile were deleted but talked about you owning 2 characters): https://scratch.mit.edu/users/acohen_bhusd/
If I had to guess who really owns if and vb I'd guess marimo, but I don’t know. Is it you?
if and vb are my own accounts. i made them to help the scratch team diagnose the issue. (i am an intern on the scratch team again)
Heya Jeff, would it be okay if I posted a survey for research purposes here? It’s anonymous and won’t be collecting personal info outside of gender and age range (which, again, isn’t connected to any individual).
Hi Jeffalo, I was wondering if there’s any policy on accounts made solely for drama? For example, @balze who was made to make fun of Blaze has been banned, but @/darflen-updates who does the same thing has now. (Maybe Balze was banned for a different reason which I'm not aware of).
The same goes with the republicans and socialism accounts. They get kind of repetitive and their aim isn’t to improve wasteof or its community but to create echo chambers. I’m not saying they should necessarily be banned but i’d like to know if there’s some sort of rule regarding these accounts. Thanks for reading :)
can you make it so that replying/boosting/mentioning my post or following myself doesn’t go to my messages
see my latest post cheesewhiskers - it’s to reduce drama, not to protect himself from criticism…
I never said it was? What I meant is it's crazy the creator of the site has accidentally created a situation this bad
hi! are you aware of that when someone replies to a user’s comment on their own post, the user receives a double notification to the same comment?
Hey Jeff! (sorry if you don’t like being called jeff.) I made a highly unfinished massive WIP probably won’t be accepted for years Wikipedia page on wasteof.money to replace the one located at Draft:wasteof.money. This is the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Not-cheesewhisk3rs/wasteof.money
Are there any concerns, improvements (other than filling in the incomplete sections) or additions of sections you have to suggest? I’d figure you’re the best person to ask since you created this website. Anyways, see ya!
(please don’t ghost me this time D:<)
heya, that looks cool! but I think you should skip all the jeffalo chat stuff - there’s no association between the two (other than wasteof being misconfigured once to point to chat by accident). but also Wikipedia has strict notability guidelines and I doubt they’d ever accept anything as small as wasteof without news coverage. it’s cool though! thanks for sharing
Alright then I’ll scrap the Jeffalo Chat section, but if the rest is good then I’ll continue working on it
And even though wasteof is small maybe they’ll still consider the article, so I’ll eventually submit it
i am not jeffalo but i don't think any of the references would currently be considered as suitable third-party sources, seeing as they are all either on wasteof.money itself, on jeffalo's website, or is on whois which i don't think counts as sufficient coverage. but hopefully one day in the distant future wom will get some epic media coverage worthy of a wikipedia article.
(sorry for stalking your wall jeffalo)
Mostly true but the website template said to use whois when uncertain which is what I did
Apart from that the sources really are just old archives of wasteof so idk how reliable that is but iirc Wikipedia does allow using the Wayback Machine
