MediaWiki talk:Ipbreason-dropdown

Mustelid did a thing
viz. and to wit, this thing. And about time, too. I mean, cheers! Alec Sanderson (talk) 20:53, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Christopher removing some options
I actually really liked these options. Regardless of not understanding the references, they're funny. 16:02, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I've put it back for now. Christopher (talk) 16:11, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Random block reasons
I scrapped RationalWiki:Random Block Reasons; it's not been used since 2010. Here are its reasons:

Infant games Race, color, creed, sexual orientation, usually all of the above. Sock of AmesG Refused to lie down on the casting couch You have been selected for a random block, nothing personal. Not enough goat Too much goat This amount of goat is juuuuuuuust right! Denmark-related offences Offences against Lord Jerboa 42 Ken-like pattern of editing Congratulations! You have won a free block!

Various users had CustomBlockReasons:

firing turbobanners Bye the NSA made me do it Preemptive strike Doing a Schlafly the NRA made me do it the devil would have made me do it, but he doesn't exist. . . NO ONE REFUSES THE LEADER OF THE CABAL!!! don't poke the cheetah-wolf Sounding too much like Lumenos Voldemort Starkid Potter! Moonshoes Potter! what is this i dont even Being a toffee Vandal, Troll, Sock of Icewedge! Helpless invertebrate Largely defensive weapon of wasting your time to unblock yourself Waiting for Bohdan, or somebody like him... I am the Electrician! 11 prior blocks, a silly pattern of editing, lack of use of a real first name, and an overall distraction from learning here Lack of Machismo Mei is useful Vote for Mei Suspected spambot. Prove us wrong.

Any worth keeping? 14:46, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I would scrap the Harry Potter, Mei, and Conservapedia ones and keep the rest.- 04:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Suggested joke reason
I saw use this one: "This is an ENGLISH website, you ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT". Can we add this one? 20:01, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

New block reason needed
Please add "You're clueless". —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 01:35, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Custom Block Reasons
How do I get some? RoninMacbeth (talk) 18:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Edit the page? If you want to spare the list from getting too large, you can take off my homeopathic ban one.  It's had a good life.  Years.  Longer than most anti-vax kids get.  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 18:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant personal custom block reasons. Most people aren't going to get Kaiserreich block reasons. RoninMacbeth (talk) 18:40, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems like if we were using the most recent version of media-wiki there might be a hacky work-around in creating your own interface language pack that's a copy with only the ibanreasons-dropdown value changed from the en-us version, but barring something really extreme, there's no user-specific overrides. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 18:51, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * If you want more custom reasons, I will just add them near the bottom of the list, where most people will probably never see them. The list cant really get too big easily. 19:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, how about these:
 * Purging Syndicalists
 * Rooting out Reactionaries
 * Supporter of Filthy Phil
 * Insulted Blessed Karl
 * SHARE THE WEALTH!
 * Reclaiming the Birthright
 * Breaking the Chains
 * Maintaining the Balance
 * Say no to Pelley
 * If any of you got any of those, then I'm a very happy person. RoninMacbeth (talk) 19:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

What happened to the "In order to intimidate and harass" joke block reason?
I loved that one :( -- Goatspeed. 02:35, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, add "Sock of Trump's head of propaganda" and "Sounding too much like Ken" as semi-serious block reasons for use on CP troll socks. -- Goatspeed. 02:41, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
