The Scratch Team gets a lot of appeals, so it may take several weeks to receive a response.

It is quite odd how you ban people immediately without question (even for something not harmful, like “suspected sharing of an account” and then the best you can offer for a appeal is multiple weeks.) I understand that the scratch team is small and a nonprofit, but I still think that it does not make much sense. Best regards.
