<dl><dd>So this is actually a weird semi-backdoor unblock request. User was blocked for their username, but after coming in to IRC asking why they were blocked it occurred to me (and a few other helpers) that the name isn't <i>that</i> provocative. Basically, I think the block was a little excessive but I don't want to wheel-war with <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:331dot" title="User:331dot">331dot</a> over the matter. I figure since the block was entirely username-related that it would be reasonable to discuss the issue here.

Like with a Threesome-this or an Orgy-that or whatever. I don't think it reflects well on the project to have usernames like those around. I don't want kids to see that. While the more <i>intellectually</i> potent usernames will just go over their heads, the more direct crass sex stuff has little if any utility.

I realize many kids are exposed to much worse, but there are still many kids whose internet is closely regulated by their parents and who may have safeguards to prevent their kids from reading the actual Wikipedia article on these subjects. We should not betray the trust of those parents who allow their kids to be "gnoming around in American football articles," which <i>ought</i> to be an innocent enough affair. Wikipedia is, ultimately, a <i><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ENC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ENC">scholarly</a></i> pursuit (serious bizness!<abbr title="Kitty" style="border-bottom: none;"><img alt="Kitty emoji.png" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Kitty_emoji.png/18px-Kitty_emoji.png" decoding="async" width="18" height="18" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Kitty_emoji.png/27px-Kitty_emoji.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Kitty_emoji.png/36px-Kitty_emoji.png 2x" data-file-width="180" data-file-height="180"/></abbr>), but why not be welcoming of everyone?

I believe the block was good faith but <i>also</i> should not have been made, and in the future <i>long-term</i> accounts like this, unless the name is <i>truly</i> out there, should be given a "hey, your username might be questionable, would you like to change it?" ping first if at all. Remember that there's lots of "questionable" usernames from long-term users here, and some of them are even admins. - <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Bushranger" title="User:The Bushranger">The Bushranger</a> <sub><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:The_Bushranger" title="User talk:The Bushranger"><span style="color: maroon;">One ping only</span></a></sub> 22:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)<span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" data-mw-comment="{"type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Bushranger-2021-01-22T22:08:00.000Z-El_C-2021-01-22T15:48:00.000Z","replies":[],"timestamp":"2021-01-22T22:08:00.000Z","author":"The Bushranger","displayName":null}" href="">(discussiontools-replylink)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-The_Bushranger-2021-01-22T22:08:00.000Z-El_C-2021-01-22T15:48:00.000Z"></span></li></ul>
