Well, screw it. I give up CDO, after 5+ years, 400+ hours, and 100+ projects. There's only so much I can take, and having my account deleted twice - this time for literally nothing - is past the limit. Even if my account gets revived by Jesus or something, I'm not coming back. Here's why.

First off, you can get banned from reports with no basis in reality. I myself was banned the first time for making a virus that downloaded files, but this time, it's because somebody "reported a chat project" that I made.
Problem? I never have made any. I'm guessing it's the CDO Project R3d that reported one of my meme projects, since they were the only ones visible on the gallery when I got banned.

Secondly, CDO can ban you for quite literally having unpublished projects that violate the TOS. After "kindly" telling CDO that I have never made any chats, they decided to not restore my stuff because I had "nasty" stuff. Be careful with what you create. I know @Varrience once said that you could technically make private chats... apparently not (note that I didn't make any chats, even private)!

Thirdly, though this may seem obvious: CDO is never going to be able to ban chats. Thanks to Ziriksi and [WUT] Adam, CDO is now a social media website. I know this for sure, because after being banned, the support tells you that you should be "mindful of what you post" in the future. Did you notice that? They say that you can post in the future, anytime you want! How are chats ever going to be banned? The only way to do that would be to perma-ban any people mean enough to create a chat. Even somehow entirely removing the chat scripts from CDO will be useless, since you don't have to be a genius to write a chat.

My advice, then? Quit CDO. It's a waste of time, I'm finding. You can have hours of work scattered as dust in the ever-shifting winds, for no reason at all, and even if you do come up with something, it gets drowned by chats. Who wants to play your epic 3D Minecraft remake? They're all busy chatting. I experience this firsthand when asking people to test my stuff on CDO. They don't want to. They're chatting. Furthermore, as we all know now, hacking cannot be prevented. The inspect console exists. Deal with it. Or don't, and just quit, like I am.

I always was better at Python anyways. Now, instead of coding, I can peacefully watch p-- I mean, uh, do my work in school. To hell with it all. Don't be like me. The anguish you feel when this happens is quite hard to bear with. Use Replit instead. Do some real coding, instead of this limited garbage.

@Letti42 and @Varrience , I wish I could have worked with you more on CDO. The mere sight of what you have done is enough to make me dream. Still, I advise you to quit CDO.

@[WUT] Adam , I'm sorry for all the things I said the other day. I hope you can forgive me. Also, guess who's going to be happy I'm not on the computer all the time...

Also, @Mellow , please comment below so I can give you all my coins. You're a cool guy.

      Comment: lmfao you did it hey btw have you heard of this awesome site called khan academy?

    i think cdo is really cracking down on the deleting accounts thing cuz i signed in a couple weeks ago and it turns out they deleted my account that I hadn't accessed in years for some reason

    but you said they at least gave you a reason? huh

    oh well three button clicks later I had a new account

    edit: couldn't cdo just disable keyvalues if they wanted to get rid of chats?

        Ravage well technically that was at the time i was reading it perhaps they've updated it to include projects within the directory..... idfkw they would considering it's not publicly visible and it's also why i back up my projects almost every week I even posted my tool that does this here makes sense to leave though but ay just how it goes (punishing the most knowledgeable people of the userbase sadly) best of luck on future projects though even if they aren't in CDO!

        and i may have plans of ditching it sooner or later.... re amping up one of my oldest games I've made may end up doing some more terminal work or C (python syntax is enough to make me roll over and die) never the less it's still useful

          Comment: Weird, I had some leftovers

            ackvonhuelio and while that is true, you also have to consider the amount of work to keep the lesson plans in storage while keeping them out of public projects which may not be that hard in theory may require a bunch of overhaul considering that they are a learning platform and not just a project production platform, they'd also have to go after applab storage as well for that matter

              Varrience Yeah... I'm thinking of doing some AI stuff on Python (of which the syntax is indeed strange, but you get used to it), but CDO is over for me. Honestly, props to you for surviving here for so long...

                  ackvonhuelio No they could not get rid of chats by disabling keyValues. Thanks to our dear Master Owokoyo, we can store data on servers by using loadImage()... and startWebRequest() exists on Applab... the only way to totally delete it all would be to permanently remove any exterior communication, which is honestly never happening.

                      Dw, i watch p- I mean, uh, do my work too! No hard feelings! (i def was talking about work and stuff)

                        yeah ik but getting rid of keyvalues would get rid of all of the remixes from the random little kids cuz using ocelot requires setting up a server

                          blud is spittin facts

                          Binary_Coder web console from the inspect element.... I may post the updated tool just don't have it on me at the moment

                            12kB

                            (Notice how I store all of my projects in .txt or .js files
                            Its because I've been banned from code.org more times than you have toes
                            I can easily load up a copy if need be)
