Yeah, it does.

Also, please stop asking me to get on Gtalk, I'll get on when I want to, and you need to learn how to fix your own code.

Thanks for letting me know about the software, it is now installed. If a proxy is detected, it will ban that IP from logging in or registering for the next 24 hours.

Someone else who's good at computers told them about it, so they could continue spamming.  mad
He's the one whose website I destroyed in order to fight back.

Re: People from my school are spamming Scratch, what should I do?

Hey jvvg - I'm sorry that people appear to be spamming your site from Scratch.  We get a lot of people starting up accounts here and we usually give them the benefit of the doubt - we wait for a spam post before we block. 

I don't see that there is anything that the Scratch Team can do here as we are still going to allow people to make accounts, as long as they aren't breaking our Community Guidelines.  This topic appears to no longer be a "Question about Scratch" and perhaps should be taking place on your own site. 

While it's good that you take your admin responsibilities seriously,  your remarks about "destroying a site" are very unsettling and make it sound like you are possibly engaged in unethical and/or illegal activities.   Please make sure that is not the case.

I'm going to close this now as it seems to be bringing off-site drama on to Scratch.
