Don't know where to post this.

Recently a scratch user, [removed], has been harassing me. It all started innocently enough. A user, who I won't name because it's not relevant, spammed to advertise one of his projects. I politely asked him not to, and he said he wouldn't anymore. Then [removed] stuck his head in and told me that I was spamming, when obviously I wasn't. It was the third comment in a list, so I had to go to one of his projects and ask him (He could always delete the comment when we had resolved the problem.) He made a reply, but didn't give me the chance to see it because he then deleted the project. I told him I couldn't read his replies if he deleted the project, and if he could tell me what he said. What resulted was a long flamewar in which he would not tell me why he said I was a spammer, but blindly insisted that I was spamming and he was not by doing the exact thing (I later found another use that had spammed, and [removed] had said this: "SPAM. (im not saying it in a rude way, because i do it alot.)  smile " Hypocrisy much? Anyways, the conversation went in circles for a few posts and it became clar to me that [removed] apparently did not SEE the user's spam. I gave him a word for word, letter for letter transcript of the conversation he showed up and you know what he said?

removed wrote:

he did? u could of said that earlier u no. any way ure being unnecessary. its obvious youre one of those horrible adult people who are very immature, and go to childrens websites and get Innocent little children into horrid things like drugs and alcohol. now, YOU listen, freak go away or ill make sure u never see scratch again. and dont underestimate me, i can do things on this website that will make sure u shut up and NEVER comment again. so dont talk to me EVER again u punk, or youll get whats coming to you! and ill make sure it comes hard! cuz i dont know, what youre trying to pull off here, but ure not gonna get away with it! and u are NEVER going to talk 2 me again!!!! got it?!?! now, go do whats right for YOU and apologize to me and that other kid, who by the way did not spam! u were the spammer!

(This was in separate comments, which, if he thinks im spamming because of that, makes him a hypocrite AND a moron)

So, to review
Baseless accusations
Overreacted to everything I said
Threatened to ban me from scratch
Called me a horrible person
Said I deal drugs and alcohol to children

It was on a project, not a forum

Re: Don't know where to post this.

The best thing you can do in this situation is use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page to send an email to the Scratch Team. Also you the "flag as inappropriate" button on comments.

We try to discourage using user's names in forum posts as it creates unnecessary gossip. I am going to close this topic with the recommendation you contact the Scratch Team.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
