This page is intended for reports of usernames that are blatant and serious violations of the username policy requiring an immediate block. Reports will be assessed in accordance with the username policy, the UAA instructions, and the following bullet points. Please ensure you are familiar with the assessment criteria before making a report.

1. Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks.
2. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person.
3. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional.
4. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here.
5. Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order.
6. Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously.
7. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports.

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Please discuss this with the user first, and consider opening a community discussion at Requests for comment/User names if they disagree with your concerns., not great, but with the age and activity I'm not comfortable with a block at this point.

  @Remsense: This user has over 600 edits since account creation in 2007. Did you try discussing your concerns with the user? Ks0stm 01:48, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

  They've already stated that I shouldn't consider the username a problem on their page, so I assume their perspective wouldn't be different upon being asked. Remsense诉 01:53, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

  It was discussed a little on the user's talk page in 2014 after being blocked, and the admin opted to remove their own block. I think that should mean this be considered resolved. 331dot (talk) 07:06, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

• IANATION (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Cahk (talk) 08:14, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
• KockMasterM (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. Also probable LTA. But RBI is best for now. . Dr. K. 12:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
