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

It was a very strange glitch.

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

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?

Something like this:

Interesting… you said someone made lots of accounts like this?

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