User:Rspeer/Confusing username proposal

The proposal
Okay, now I'm going to actually write down the proposal.

Keep in mind the motivation of the proposal, which is to change the way we handle confusing usernames. The status quo is that we softblock them under the username policy regardless of their contributions (or before they have made any). This is bad, because if they are good-faith newbies, we've bitten them, and if they're vandals, we've just asked them to come back and keep vandalizing under a less conspicuous username.

I propose to:
 * Remove confusing usernames from the "Inappropriate usernames" section. Confusing usernames will no longer be a reason in themselves to block, but a kind of evidence of vandalism.
 * Remove the last bullet point of "Dealing with inappropriate usernames" just to refactor it; its content will appear in the next section.
 * Add a new subsection below "Dealing with inappropriate usernames":

Usernames as a component of other blocks

Any block issued as a result of a user's behavior may take their username into account, if the username is part of the problem. Such a block may be extended to an indefinite block in order to disallow the username. Behavioural blocks are usually issued for disruption, incivility or personal attacks.

In some cases, usernames that would not merit blocks in themselves suggest that a user's only purpose is to disrupt Wikipedia. Names that seem to have been chosen randomly, such as by banging on the keyboard, are an example. If you see such a suspicious-looking username:
 * Wait for the user to edit, if they have not edited yet.
 * The blocking policy allows blocking accounts whose "main or only use is forbidden activity (sock-puppetry, obvious vandalism, personal attack, and so on)" without warning them first. If their first edits consist of such activities as obvious vandalism or personal attacks, you can use the username as evidence that such activity is the sole purpose of their account. If this is the case, you may block the user without a warning, or report them to WP:UAA to be blocked. Be sure to say that your report is based on their behavior, not just their username.
 * In all other cases, assume good faith toward the user. Some editors simply choose usernames poorly. You may want to leave a message on their talk page encouraging them to change their name, pointing out that Wikipedians may distrust them based on their username.
