G0dz1lluh's 1337-speak confounds admins
What the fuck. Since when do we ban people for using "leetspeak" in their names? I find it hard to believe that this is acceptable. RFerreira 06:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * WP:USERNAME. usernameblock gives instructions on how to change the username. They're not banned; account creation was not disabled so they can just make a new account if they'd rather not bother to change the name. ··coe l acan 06:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've unblocked. There's nothing in the policy against leetspeak. --Carnildo 06:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * No, using numbers in place of letters is not "random". In fact, it is rather commonplace, especially when you are competing for a unique username and over 1,000,000 of them are already taken.  Thanks Carnildo for your assistance with this -- hopefully we haven't lost a valuable contributor as a result of this mix up.  RFerreira 06:58, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Just "over 1,000,000"? Try "over 4,000,000": Wikipedia has usernames defined. -- Ben &ensp; TALK/HIST 08:03, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I would guess that the block was based not on leet but on the apparent reference to religious figures, not just "God" but "1llah" (why the final h?).Proabivouac 09:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * [sardonically] It's probably because the final "h" changes the vowel sound preceding it, changing the leet translation from "Godzillu" to "Godzilluh," a homophone for "Godzilla." Good morning, Wikipedia. =) --Dynaflow  09:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I thought so. I don't think this is religious reference, more like one to a monster trashing Tokyo...Moreschi Talk 09:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hell, I'd worship something like that. Raptor Jesus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster haven't been returning my calls lately anyway. --Dynaflow 09:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Raptor Jesus is displeased. Where is your god now???? &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Denny Crane.  10:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

David Gerard just fucked up badly
A username just created an edit sufficiently odious to be oversighted. I checkusered it and blanched. [deleted] appears to be the user's main account, and he's been creating a sockpuppet every few hours for quite a while. If he were to claim these were entirely different people I would note the remarkable commonality of interests. I'll post a list when I've finished blocking the socks. I've blocked J Greb for 48 hours in the meantime, to give users time to investigate and clean up the mess - David Gerard 22:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I am an idiot. I just blocked every username on a given proxy. Excuse me while I go back and unblock most of a small town - David Gerard 22:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

This guy is driving me crazy. see his contrubutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/98.1.242.33 -- Penubag  02:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You probably want to post here here. --ElKevbo 02:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Wait a minute. Those edits are several days old.  What do you want anyone to do about it now?  --ElKevbo 02:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * He already is "here," but I think I know where you meant to send him. =)
 * I don't see the problem. The user made three disruptive edits in a five-minute period on 30 April, and s/he was warned.  Is there something I'm missing here?  --Dynaflow  03:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Penubag may be referring to the ongoing problem at that page, from sundry IP numbers. -- Ben &ensp; TALK/HIST 03:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The vandalizing edits seem to be coming from a number of different ISPs' IP-address ranges and from widely-scattered geographic locations. Was there a special on stratus clouds  on TV recently or something?   --Dynaflow  03:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, look on the bright side: at least it's not a WP:BLP violation, since stratus clouds are not living people. -- Ben &ensp; TALK/HIST 03:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

That's just what the radical humanists want us to think. --Dynaflow 03:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You mean the radical group called the Weathermen? -- Ben &ensp; TALK/HIST 03:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Touché.  --Dynaflow  03:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Bot being bad
User:AccReqBot keeps trying to do this. Could we block it until someone sorts it out? -Amarkov moo! 02:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I have blocked it indefinitely, pending the resolution of the issue. --  tariq abjotu  02:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Bot wars are always funny. -Amarkov moo! 02:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * In the same way cancer is. HalfShadow 03:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Bot wars are funny in many ways that cancer isn't. Unless you're a misanthropist. -- Cyde Weys 03:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Of course, I suppose it depends on who it is who has the cancer. I concur. HalfShadow 03:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The most bizarre ANI reply, ever

help!
Is there anyway to block someone from viewing your Wikipedia userpage, because my parent's saw that a few of my contributions got deleted, and they think Wikipedia is gay, and that I've been an ass hole for helping the cause, please help me block them from viewing my profile, they said that if I help out Wikipedia any more, I will get grounded for a year. SO SHIT HELP ME PLEASE!!! BLOCK THEM FROM MY PAGE!!! I LOVE WIKI!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xgmx (talk • contribs) 23:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I don't believe that is possible. Fun  Pika  23:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Create a new account and don't tell your parents what the new username is. Tim Vickers 00:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is gay. Ground your parents. --Tony Sidaway 00:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Did your parents really say Wikipedia is "gay"? -- John Reaves 00:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You on the drugs, boy? JuJube 01:01, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * And if so, can you give us some?? -- Kendrick7talk 01:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Continues to write useless information on Wikipedia, in addition to TERRIBLE grammar while vandalizing. "When ur shooting make sure to tap the trigga in little bursts and use your left analog stick 2 bob up and down and move left and right". Neil the Cellist (talk) 20:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

How dare you call me on my vandalism?!
A little late on the ball, no? Days after the change was made you followed up with backseat Wikipolicing of my, granted, sour joke. Do you routinely run about frantically making sure to threaten everybody who has ever had a revision revoked? Get a life.

Oh, and restricting of my editing abilities? Oh, goodness me, what would I do without my precious trivial acerbic jokes on Wikipedia? My house of cards is surely on the brink of collapse! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.109.94.208 (talk • contribs)


 * I sent you a warning last week (check the date) for vandalizing the article Virginia Tech massacre by adding it to the video game category First Person Shooters (a change which I reverted). Neither I nor anyone else has (yet) blocked your editing privileges since November, when you were blocked twice in succession, including once for what one administrator memorably summed up as "vandalism, stupidity."  --Dynaflow  16:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I sincerely apologize for the overtly rude nature of my comment on your talk page then. I only received a notification of your warning a week after it had transpired and immediately assumed it to have been just posted. My mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.109.94.208 (talk • contribs)

 * Your edits will continue to be reverted by me or other editors if they do not contribute constructively to the discussion. Conspiracy theories involving Karl Rove and the Virginia Tech shooting are not constructive.  Thank you. --Dynaflow 01:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
