I would like to investigate Kaj more, but I don't know where to begin. One thing I'm sure of, though, was that he can't hack. He may have guessed a few passwords that weren't secure at all, but there's no way to hack the site. Anyway, we probably shouldn't be talking about him, because he did exist at one point, and this could be considered a gossip thread about him.

A good reporter always checks his sources. I'm not a good reporter, but what are your sources?

His only project's pretty popular.

A lot of people are believing the things they hear about Kaj from other Scratchers who heard about Kaj from other Scratchers... who heard about Kaj from... Anyway, a lot of people just believe the first thing they hear about Kaj even though they don't know anything about him/her... Yeah maybe this is a gossip forum, but I just want to get everything straight. + I'm annoyed with this whole Kaj thing. It's not like it's still happening(is it?)

Kaj is made up. Just someone who guessed passwords, and deleted their "Amazing" Projects. And now everyone is paranoid about something that doesn't exist, and can't hurt you.

So is this link just my imagination? http://scratch.mit.edu/users/Kaj

Kaj is a made up user yes.

So how can I see the user page of a user that doesn't exist?

Can people make users with the same name of someone else if the original user was banned... or deleted...?


I want to hear something about this from a moderator...

No they can't.

People guessing passwords is usually how people lose control of their accounts.  That's why it's really important to have a password that is not easy to guess.  Use a mix of symbols and numbers and letters and make it fairly long - that makes it really hard to guess.

You are very correct that people are being paranoid about something that they really don't need to worry about.  However there was a user named kaj at one point - I don't remember the details of what he or she was accused of and it really doesn't matter. 

As with any user, it's not fair to them to discuss it all over the public forums.  If you personally have a problem with a mean or inappropriate comment or project, please use the Flag button to report it to the Scratch Team.  If you have some other problem, please use the Contact Us form at the bottom of every page to report it and we will help.  Scratch on
