Too many users?
Ok, here goes. I recently decided to make a user on Scratch for some other projects of mine. So I went ahead with that, and I was complained at for having four users with the same IP address.
1. My user, Maki-Tak.
2. My brother's.
3. A friend's, we were teaching him Scratch.
4. An account that me and some friends share.
Apparently I can get banned if I have too many users, and I know I sound silly, but I don't want to end up like Doody 
Should I make the user? Or shouldn't I risk it?

Re: Too many users?
I think you should ask the scratch team for permission to realize what you want to do.
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Too many users?
Actually, it shows that message to anybody who wants to register for another account on the same IP, no matter how much accounts you have already registered.
The message states:
"Seems like the following accounts were created from the same computer or network:
[username]
Please note that creating multiple accounts can lead to blocking of your computer or network if they are used to post inappropriate content, harass others, avoid a block on another account or try to trick the system to get to front page.
If you're a school or household sharing the same IP for multiple people, no worries, you're welcome to create multiple accounts
What do you want to do?
Create account // Recover password for existing account // Cancel"
If those aren't your purposes, you are absolutely free to create a new account.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Doesn't it only do that for forum users?

He was probably on a different computer.
If you look at mine, you won't find IrishArcher (the account I use for my 3D projects). I don't know why not; I must have been somewhere else when I created that one...

Well I'm on the same laptop, but I had to re-install windows and start again because it slowly died. Don't know if re-installing windows gives you a different IP address.
Nope it won't because you are still using the same internet connection.

Yes, it can only track Forum users... <.< >.>
But Dan01 and Mozas obviously are both Forum users.
...I looked up Dan01 and holy *^&@!, he has a lot of IP addresses! O.o ...Just like me. xD
Actually, IP changes every time you reboot your modem...
