Not My Fault

I got a message saying that I left an innapropriate comment,

comment wrote:

Your comment "PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs."

and it wasn't my fault. Someone else left that comment on one of my progects and it said that if I read it I would die in 2 days if I didn't leave that comment on 5 other progects. And of course I didn't want to die in two days. I know it seems stupid but you never know. Please don't ban me, I've worked really hard on my account.

Re: Not My Fault

I saw that on many frontpage projects a few weeks ago. And ignored every single one. And I am still alive. If you do not get my point, reread the post.

Re: Not My Fault

Don't worry about those. How could reading text kill you? I read that comment for the first time a few weeks ago, and I'm not dead yet... wait... I'm not, right? RIGHT?  yikes


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.

Re: Not My Fault

It's not true. I used to get a few emails a week saying things like that, but I told the people who told me to stop.

They are fake. They have no way of knowing who you are or tracking you down. Remember: Good things come to those who ignore.

hhmm, isn't it "good things come to those who wait", but anyways I agree I think the best way to stop it is to just ignore it, even if it is a little tempting.

Re: Not My Fault

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Look you are not going to die if you don't repost the message  neutral
Just flag them when you see them.

You do know. These never work. Nobody will ban you, but getting less gullible could help.

They are called chain letters. Ignore and report those comments.

Re: Not My Fault

Yes, please do not forward chain messages on Scratch.  They just take up space on the servers and cause people discomfort.  In reality, they are a kind of computer virus..only they are using YOU to propogate themselves.  So show you are smarter than a virus and don't copy it  smile

As long as you don't do it again, I'm sure you will be fine.
