== Affirming the "username policy" ==
[[Conservapedia:Community Portal#Make the username policy more clear|I raised this concern]] two months ago, but no user has shown any willingness to comment on this blatant issue, so I will reiterate it once again below. Users have been blocked on nearly a daily basis for having "spam-like formulas" to their username when a Conservapedia username policy is nonexistent. The only advice that the website provides on account creation is a mere suggestion that a username should contain a first name and last initial; nothing is said about having numbers in usernames, or using pseudo identifiers. While there are obvious times when users should be blocked, especially in cases where usernames are blatantly offensive, there are quite a number of users that get blocked that are possibly good-faith editors, like [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Robbyrain65 Robbyrain65], who was simply blocked for violation of the nonexistent username policy, or [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Marci18 Marci18], who was only blocked-by-association because they had a seemingly similar username to 'Natashia36', who apparently [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Natashia36 did nothing]. In addition, it is only ironic when one of our best users, Conservative, which is obviously neither a first or last name, blocks [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/ProgressiveBrit ProgressiveBrit] and tells them to 'pick a more respectable username'. It only produces an appearance of hypocrisy when some of the site's best editors, including Karajou, Conservative, TheAmericanRedoubt, and Aschlafly himself, violate this nonexistent username policy used to block other editors, many of which have not even made a single edit. There should be something tangible on this website that points out what exactly is expected of a username.
