Can you get banned for clickbait?
Imagine I make a clickbait topic like, “OMG THIS SUGGESTION IS THE GREATEST ONE EVERRRR CHECK It OUTTTTTT!!!!!111111!!!!1!!111!1!” Would I get a warning if I make one like that?
This also applies to thumbnails also, like a very clickbaity (is that even a real word lol) and eye catching thumbnail about a tycoon game and the actual project is just a blank untitled project. Would I also get banned for that?

Yes, clickbait is misleading the community and can cause the ST to edit your project.

I doubt you'll get banned - but your project/topic will be edited so that it's less clickbait.
It happens more often than you think. I've been on the forums for almost 1 year now (time flies by) and I've seen 2 topics get renamed because they were clickbait. So just try not to.
Edit: guess we got jinxed it happened today

Pretty sure you can report for something being misleading, so…yeah. Not banned, but surely edited.

While you could argue clickbait is tricking the community, it's hard to know where to draw the line and it's such a minor offense that I don't think Scratch Team does anything about it. I could be wrong though, I've just never seen clickbait get punished.
