I'm pretty sure this one is a sock of User:GratonBot, whom you blocked for a username violation. Also contains "bot" in their name. Boomer VialHappy Holidays! • Contribs 04:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand that the first account used "bot" at the end of it(Ps when creating a user name it should relay warn you about these sorts of things). I was not able to change my user name for I could no longer edit anything, so I created a new account that did not specifically say "bot" but said "B0T" instead. Does this not work? I have used this username a lot, and have never had a prior issue. GrattonB0T (talk) 04:53, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Uh, I'm pretty sure that B0t and bot are the same thing. Also, where exactly did you use this username "a lot, and never had a prior issue"? If it was on another version of Wikipedia, I'm sorry to say that the policies for each version of Wikipedia is different. Here at the English version of Wikipedia, having "bot" or any variation of it is simply not allowed. Since your first account was blocked for having this phrase, did you really think things would be different by changing a single character, but not the context of your username?

 * When I Said that I used it many times before, I meant for different services(sorry for any confusion there). I thought that changing the 'o' to a zero would make it so that they where not the same for they have different character values even lowercase to capital should be different character values . But I guess it may be that when checking usernames it counts zero as 'o' to prevent people from using as a loop hole to make inappropriate usernames.GrattonB0T (talk) 05:22, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That's the case; you're certainly more than welcome to contribute, just with a modified name. You can request a change at WP:CHU. We're glad you're here to edit with us!
 * As explained, names with BOT are not allowed. You can request a change of name if you want to keep edit history (see the blocking notice for instructions), or you can create a new account with an allowed username. -- Alexf(talk) 10:32, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.
