Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reviews 

On June 30, 2025 between 5 PM and 5:30 PM (PST) (I believe), when I was bored when I was about to play a game on Scratch, I got a ban message that is not about my username, it's about the account named 8oz_or_liter. It says that there a account abuse about 8oz_or_liter. However, I have never created that account because I don't know who it is. The time it happened (when they banned me) was June 30, 2025, 5:13 PM. Not sure if I'm supposed to say this but it's a account named (in quotes) "Your_punishment" (I created that for a little funny reason in April 2025) but currently right now, the page does not exist (I do not currently have a Scratch account). I did contact support but they never responded. So after June 30, 2025 (starting on July 1, 2025), I'm starting to get bored. And I proved to them why I do not own the account 8oz_or_liter. But before 5 PM on June 30, 2025, I was doing something and was eating something at 5 PM. However, it mentions that I shouldn't be creating new accounts to bypass the ban. So I didn't create any other accounts and no action was taken (including my account ban). However, I did have a huge project (it was a Fruit Ninja project but see below) that I was about to share between July 2025 and Aug 2025 but it was cancelled because of the account ban. On Jul 9, 2025, I gotten a response. They said they block a Scratch account if it violates the community guidelines. However, the account Your_punishment (the one I created in April) didn't violate it. It's not because of my username, it's because of a account named 8oz_or_liter. It says the account was created and confirmed my email address but I did not do that in the past because before then, I did play games on Scratch but I did not create a account. The same thing for the things that happened for the past few years. I'll provide a script on what the conversation looks like below (very far below of this text). Also, I did make some good projects that I made on June 2025 like one example of Blinding Lights Geometry Dash (where it's a remix of griffpatch's Geometry Dash that is released in 2016 in Scratch) that I modified the icon into The Weeknd, changed the song into Blinding Lights by The Weeknd, and there wasn't anything bad on it and when I shared it with my friends and people liked it. The project I was about to share (in Jul-Aug 2025) was the Fruit Ninja and Aggretsuko project. It started in late 2021 (the collaboration) and if my account never got banned and shared it right now, it would be the first Fruit Ninja and Aggretsuko project in Scratch before anybody else. It's a remix from a another Fruit Ninja project (a popular project). Also, I was also planning to make other Fruit Ninja projects (not silly but real ones for those who missed the event(s)):
- I was about to plan on making the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Fruit Ninja project which I did mention in 1 project which I could start in 2026 or 2027 (in the real app, it happened in 2023) and then finish it between 2027 to 2029 (or 2030 I believe) (I couldn't remember on exactly what I wrote because I forgot most of the parts already).
- And a collaboration in June 2025 (it did happen, trust me) that is Fruit Ninja (yes, but mostly at Fruit Ninja Classic+) and Bluey (yes, it's real). I was about to write that I'm starting the Fruit Ninja and Bluey collaboration that is planned in the future mentioning to start between early 2026 to early or mid 2027 (because there's limited info about the blades and blade powers in June 2025) and I estimated that I would finish by 2026 (late?) to early to late 2027 or 2028. Here is the script of the talk about the account ban when contacting Scratch (note that I first contacted by the Contact Us on the website (at the bottom of the page) then continued through the email):
Me (Jun 30, 2025 at 5:20 PM (PST)): Hello! At 5:13 PM at Jun 30, 2025, I was banned saying that I was the account of 8oz_or_liter and I have never created that account. I haven't done something like this before and it's a mistake
Me (2nd response (shortly after half a hour)) (Jun 30, 2025 at 5:59 PM (PST)): I forgot to mention this. I also have not been reported once because I wasn't saying anything bad
Scratch support (note that I changed my email to the term "[email]") (Jul 9, 2025 at 3:51 PM (PST)): Thank you for contacting us about your account. We block a person’s Scratch accounts when they do not follow the Community Guidelines, including any past, present, and future accounts they use. Although the rules may have been broken on a different username, changing accounts does not undo your actions. The account was created and confirmed under your email address [email], making you responsible for the account.

There's a character limit when writing this review so I couldn't continue writing the script

Support was very kind on getting my account back! You can create your own projects and so much more, and there's a high chance you'll get distracted on the explore page!

Hate you for Deleting my Project just because i added a Bomb in my game, THERE WAS NO VIOLENCE!

Peggior esperienza della storia avuta con Scratch.

Allowes Antisemitism and do nothing to remove terrorist students

the website is nice, but the moderation team sucks ass, they literally accept false reports, while the team its self staying there don't give a crap about the mods ruining there creators, they perma banned my main handey00123 thinking that I'm being my 2021 self just because of trying to stop a false reports who keeps sending threats to the people I known, and they also done this to other people, I don't know why the team is ain't accepting our sorry message. and when literally not removing the mod who's review all the reports and banning people, I would put this on 5 stars if they remove all the mods and find new ones who is much the best and less strict, whoever is under the control of the moderation suck ass at there job. other then that. I love this website, its a easy way to create my horror games.

I have contacted the Scratch Team about my account that is blocked and they don't give something about it, if they would do something about it like unblocking me, then this would be changed and I would give it 5 stars but it's this right now.

Scratch Team simply delete my project that not scary, don't have blood and gore. And Scratch Team don't delete some of the scary projects. What happened to Scratch Team's mind?

They IP banned me for a good year.

Tried to appeal, didn't respond.

been using scratch for over a year and it's awesome. I love this because it is simple and fun and I love to see what others have made. Also If you don't like something ore want more things you can use scratch addons for chromes to change the way scratch looks and you can use penguin mod(website) for more features. Just remember to look at TOS. Great community.

(From a 5-year user's perspective :))
This platform is AWESOME! It lets you make projects and play others' projects. It's very easy to use, and it's also super easy to code in Scratch. And unlike many other platforms, it's COMPLETELY FREE. They offer absolutely no incentive to pay (and it's only mentioned on the front page for logged out users.)

The only thing that's not so great is the mass reporting system. Users can report things that they think violate the guidelines. However, Scratch has a built-in system which takes down projects & studios and bans users who have been reported by many accounts. Although this is meant to save time, this can be (and is) abused by people with bad intentions and a lot of bots (and time.) They can just use bots to mass report projects or users and poof. All of it gone.
That's the only bad thing I have to say. Other than that, it's great!

Perfect! If you are bored, this is the best thing to do! And it is free too!!

Me gusto mucho pero.. me banearon la cuenta sin motivo aparente,

Outstanding. Amazing. The best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Scratch is a programming website and community designed for children aged 8-15. The platform allows kids to create code by snapping blocks together. Scratch even features an in-site paint and sound editor that is user-friendly. By creating an account, users can share their projects with the world. Don't worry, Scratch also has a report option and a censorbot to ensure a safe and positive experience. Users can create studios, edit profiles, love, favorite, comment on, and even remix other projects. Additionally, users can follow their favorite creators or friends. Scratch is an amazing and active coding community, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This is a good coding language. Especially for kids! The problem is, that mass reporting is widespread in this website. Other than that, its great for all ages!

It is a platform with a very many good projects. Simple to start with and is fun to see scrathers stretching the limits. And if you ever want something changed scratch has many extensions in the Chrome webstore. 4 stars as the moding is not the best

When I searched ''scratch.mit.edu'', I saw a new update which is the Color Contrast update. My eyes started to hurt because of the purple color, the blue color was much better. Now, I can't even focus on making a project because of the purple color and the worst thing is that I can not switch it back to the blue color! Please add an option that you can switch beetween blue and purple colors. Now I can only focus on making a project in TurboWarp because of many more features and no purple color.

I have been on scratch for 2 and a half years, and I love it! The users are welcoming, and the challenges are exiting. This is a really good way to learn simple coding. There is a huge LGBTQ+ and diverse community in Scratch, which is great! Overall, this website it great.

Scratch è fatto bene, è protetto, è per bambini, ma non è avvolte sicuro. Però è fatto bene perchè ti fa imparare come fare il coding.

It's all about learning kids LGBTQ+ and and that people around the world have different colours skins.
