I got a 2-day IP ban on Scratch for promoting a glitch/exploit.

It was a very strange glitch.

what glitch?

It was fixed today, but making a username such as “faviconaico” used to make the account have multiple problems.

Why that username? And how did you do the glitch?

The username causes the glitch. I don’t know why, but I think it’s because https://scratch.mit.edu/users/favicon.ico used to be the URL for the old Scratch favicon.

Oh, that’s odd. What file does it make you download?

Usernames in the format of (x)favicon(x)ico were glitched.

Such as not being able to follow users/studios, being unfollowable, makes you download an image file when you click on the username in comments, being uninviteable to studios, giving a 404 page when you visit the profile, and apparently being unreportable.
