Limit of five accounts per computer
I have recently noticed that a user called tngs(numbrs) has created at least 30 accounts all with different strrings of numbers and each with three projects that are just random pictures, so I decided to recommend a limit on accounts per computer.
I don't think there is much you can do about the accounts tngs has already created but you could stop him from making more, banning him isn't really an option as I don't think he has actually done anything wrong.

Re: Limit of five accounts per computer
Sure it wouldn't let people cheat by pressing loveit on their own project or something like that, but the problem is that some schools use scratch and the students are supposed to make their own accounts in that class. All the computers use the same IP, so with a limit only 5 accounts could be made per school. (I think the tngs accounts are for different students in a school.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Oh okay, I wonder what tngs means.
