, 15:54, February 21, 2015→Affirming the "username policy"
:Two points: 1) The Username policy is not changing unless you convince owner of the website of the benefit of doing this and address any objections he may have. You can contact the owner of the website at: [[User talk:Aschlafly]] 2) Sometimes users are banned due to IPs associated with commercial spammers without any reason being given as a block reason. I know I have done this. If we had a more explicit username policy, it would give me more incentive to give block reasons. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 20:45, 13 February 2015 (EST)

::I see what you are saying, but the problem I have with your first point is that, unless I'm mistaken there ''is no username policy''. [[User:DanielJackson|DanielJackson]] 20:52, 13 February 2015 (EST)

:::Well, you are correct in that there is no precisely stated policy. Perhaps this is intentional, to prevent people from seeing exactly how close to a violation they can go. But some of the more responsible sysops have lately been giving a block reason in an informal way -- "spam-like formula to user name". Perhaps some of the other sysops could start following that practice. For example, VargasMilan gave that reason in some blocks at 22:42 and 23:13 on Feb. 19. The users involved were "Tights07twig" and "Moatnoodle1". Other users blocked around that time were "Lakiesha32" and "Rachel21". It's not hard to see the formula-like construction -- nonsense words with digits. Why spammers do it that way is a mystery to me. So I think it would be fair to say that, official username policy or not, people desiring to do serious editing would do well not to create such ridiculous names.
