We pretty much enforce this stuff already, so this simply puts it in written form and makes it easier to deal with any potential new users with inappropriate usernames. | We pretty much enforce this stuff already, so this simply puts it in written form and makes it easier to deal with any potential new users with inappropriate usernames. | ||

Once again, this is taken from [[User:Zelda smash-chi|someone who showed up on WhosOnline]]. The user I linked to has done nothing, and they joined last month. The existing [[User:Zeldasmash|Zeldasmash]] on the other hand has actually done something around here, (albeit mostly userspace edits), and has been consistently active here, (that said, he went inactive a while back and only made one edit last year. Personally, I think the one who should change their name is obviously the former, especially seeing that the policy specifically states that just adding extra characters, (in this case, "-chi") doesn't count as making the username stand out enough. However, I don't has teh rightz, so discussion time!

===Profane username=== | |||
It seems that {{s|User|WaluigiFag}} is still hanging around according to Who's online. Though the user was blocked weeks ago due to vandal edits, we may need to consider taking action on the user's name on top of that.

:I'm inclined to agree. I'll also add that there's a good-faith user here named {{s|User|Supersmashgasm}}, whose username is basically a parody on the word "orgasm", which I think we can all agree is a lewd and inappropriate word.

===Unable to register=== | |||
I've been trying to register for over 10 minutes with all possible non-offensive names. On other Wikis I usually go by the name of "El Rocky Raccoon" or "Valhalen", but I can't register either here because it says they're "Blacklisted". I tried a bunch of other possible names, but EVERYTHING is tagged as "Blacklisted". So... How do I register here without any kind of headache? I don't even know if this is the right place to report this kind of problem, but I see no "Contact Admin" page/e-mail or anything. | |||

:Looks like an obvious violation to me. Body part slang doesn't bode well, especially if said part is inappropriate. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 23:23, 4 November 2014 (EST) | |||

:Put new names at the bottom of the page, not the top; the "new names at top" rule only applies to the [[SW:AN|admin noticeboard]]. Another thing: check to see if this user is {{IP|Tourneyfag}} or not; I have a feeling it is. <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:#9f4f3f;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20x20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:#66CDAA;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 20:43, 22 November 2014 (EST) | |||

::Yeah, kind of a bad example, but what I meant to say was that since we are an English-speaking Wiki, most users might not be able to understand what the name means (as already mentioned on the page itself). And thus, even if it's written in English characters, not being able to understand the name would be bad since for all we know, they could have a username that violates some of the other issues, such as vulgarity or offensiveness. Also, I just now noticed that I forgot to mention one of my ideas when I started this section so here it is: "Usernames that imply that the user is of higher authorities. This can create confusion among the community, especially when a user wants to notify people on here such as Administrators, and could thus mistake a user with such a name for an admin only to realize that they are not and end up wasting time. Examples of such usernames would be "Administrator Mike" and "Bill the Bureaucrat".
