Ban fake email addresses from being used in accounts
bots can't create new accounts — whereas before reCAPTCHA was implemented, bots would flood the forums (credit to congyingzhou):That's why I can't post a topic in the Indonesian forums.(Spambots flooding the Scratch Bahasa Indonesia forums with new topics while congyingzhou is logged in and has 16 unread messages in a Scratch 2.0-styled page)

And this is another reason why this is one of my least favorite Southeast Asian stereotypes (note that I’m from the US and no offense)They're spamming my country!Oh no, it's in Chinese.. pretty please don't hate on them.bots can't create new accounts — whereas before reCAPTCHA was implemented, bots would flood the forums (credit to congyingzhou):That's why I can't post a topic in the Indonesian forums.(Spambots flooding the Scratch Bahasa Indonesia forums with new topics while congyingzhou is logged in and has 16 unread messages in a Scratch 2.0-styled page)

Not specifically 100. Literally one will do. If that gets banned, make another one. One can just make endless accounts with no penalty.Making a Gmail account isn't some long process, it may take a while but someone would definitely be willing to make 100 Gmail accounts.It would be very time-consuming to make 100 Google accounts, and many people wouldn't bother.People could just make 100 gmail accounts.Security is more important than convenience. I think this would be more inconvenient than helpful, people who make other accounts for fun sometimes use disposable mails, I literally just logged in after making an account with 10 minute mail. I don't want to put my main email when I make an account quickly.

Don't mistake a suggestion for fact.wait As easy as this sounds on paper, they both seem to use randomly generated emails, so it would be hard to track what emails are made on those sites…
The best way to do this would be to have the ST email you when you meet the requirements to become a Scratcher, and see if the email service they use tells them that the email doesn't exist.
Wait
WAIT
Don’t delete your email until you become a scratcher, people!!

You may want to take out the names in the OP–if you tell someone not to stick a bean up their nose, they will do it out of curiosity. I don't think that listing the websites here would e a great idea.

I don't think listing temporary email websites is like “telling someone to stick bean up their nose”. There is literally no problem in using them unless they are using them for malicious purposes, which is why this suggestion doesn't make sense.
