1. It's a very very bad idea of a page. This page only serves to encourage trolls. A lot of these users, who are trolls, should be forgotten in the depths of the Chicken Coop/Chicken Coop lite_{*cough* All things in moderation} archives and be an afterthought in casual discussion, not be part of a hall of notoriety. I've strictly advised against its maintenance years ago, but now I'm seeing users trying to do exactly that. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:27, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

   Isn't it more like a "Hall of Shame"? Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 19:27, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

   Nobody should be editing it anyway because it's in a private user space. Any edits not made by that user should be removed.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 07:51, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

2. At the very least, this list should not be here, a hard-to-find stub of a user who abused their tech rights and was permabanned (and who ironically is not in the current list of banned users, showing the problem of irregular maintenance.) That aside, I also agree with LGM that this sort of thing feeds trolls, so I lean toward it being wiped than moved. BobJohnson (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
3. This is dumb, and the user who made it is long gone. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 04:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

1. I dunno if we need this thing specifically — we don't need to feed trolls — but we should have some resource for sysops (particularly new sysops) to be able to recognize the signs of chronically returning anti-productive users so they can be dealt with as efficiently as possible.

   That's what chicken coop archives are for. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:58, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

   I often find it difficult to recognize recurring banned users. This list however is no help. I don't find the coop archives useful either. A guide might help if someone is up to the task. Bongolian (talk) 04:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

   A guide is essentially what I had in mind. Like, say, what are the patterns that indicate an account or edit being made by Ken, Kamen Rider, Mikemikemev, etc.? Luigifan18 (talk) 20:26, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

2. Community standards says: "An editor's user page, and other pages in their user space, is their personal space and they are free to do with it what they want (with common-sense-exceptions, such as patently offensive material, copyright violations or spam)." It's in a user's space and I seriously doubt that anybody is going to find it easily. If it were a regular "article" I would vote for removal.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 19:30, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
