Username 666 Scratch Access

During Scratch's early explosion in popularity (versions 1.4 to 2.0), users began testing the limits of the platform. Usernames like Satanic_Gamer , 666Devil , and Lucifer_Code began appearing. The Scratch Team (ST), composed of MIT researchers concerned with child safety, responded with zero tolerance. Over the course of six months, the ST enacted a sweeping ban on "satanic panics"—any account referencing demons, hell, or the "Number of the Beast" (666) was permanently deleted without appeal.
