Cheating the Newest Projects row

Since I can't upload images, here's what I saw:

How did that happen??

EDIT: BTW, it blanked out earlier, maybe because of all the same users uploading projects. Did it just give up?  lol

Hmm yeah maybe each user should get only one slot at most  hmm

I thought that's how it is.

Hmm.. I think it's a school in Taiwan. They sometimes upload a ton of similar projects at the same time. So I dont think they're gaming Newest on purpose, but maybe accidentally..

Help Scratchers make the leap to 2.0!

That's the same user.

Re: Cheating the Newest Projects row

Its possible that there weren't any new projects at the time and he/she had several school projects that they had to upload. Also, if a class is sharing the same user account and uploads similar (but not identical) projects it would appear to be cheating. But I can understand why you would point this out, it can be done.  hmm  Also, it might be possible to cheat the "what the community has been remixing" section by creating a bunch of identical projects on another account.
