Blocking policy[edit]
no usernames which are hard to read or distinguish - Where did you pull that fucking nonsense from? AceModerator 03:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- From our guide - Your username can be anything but should not be offensive (racist, homophobic, pornographic etc.). AceModerator 03:10, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Creating an account with a name that impersonates another user's, is offensive, or is ridiculously complicated/long. This is an indefinite ban on sight. Users that have confusing or potentially disruptive usernames (e.g. 3029489032489208409284, GOOOAAAAAATTTTTT!!!) should be told to change to a more appropriate username. From RW:BLOCK.

- So nothing like no usernames which are hard to read or distinguish. There was nothing wrong with that users initial name and you made up some bullshit rule on the fly. Don't do that. AceModerator 22:07, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Look, yell at Bongolian first. Bongolian moved the users page without notifying them. I considered the name "potentially disruptive" myself due to the lack of alphanumeric characters in it, so I opted them the opportunity to pick a better name. Sirius (dog star /

- I mean, sure. That said, this doesn't change that the name was likely potentially disruptive (weird to use in ping templates for example). I'll admit to having been more instinctually about fixing what Bongolian perceived as an issue (namely that the username was unacceptable for that reason), than using my brain to question if that was the right decision to do. I apologize for that part. Sirius (dog star /

Riot article[edit]
Sorry I reverted you, but you nuked the list of uncited participant names just as I was adding another citation for one of the participants that you nuked. Please be aware that some of us are heavily scrutinizing this list and making sure all the names are properly cited. Thanks. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 22:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Feel free to use the diff as reference as to where the names should go. Citations should be considered a requirement on the initial edit, not post-facto imho. Sirius (dog star /

- I will delete names without references as I find them. However some of the uncited people clearly were at the event, e.g. Baked Alaska and Nick Fuentes, and whoever added them was too lazy to include a proper citation. It's much easier to start with a suspect list than create one out of thin air. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 22:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Fair, I'll give you some time to correct some of the references. Just don't forget to snipe the ones that aren't referenced. Sirius (dog star /
