[edit] Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy (talk · contribs)

Username vio per WP:U#Random, repeating characters. User has been politely asked to change their username but refuses. RJASE1 Talk 16:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Seems like apparently random strings of characters, by that, I mean extended repitition Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 16:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Comment: I don't think it's quite as bad as random characters, it's the word "Trey" (possibly the user's real name) with the letters repeated four times each, and then the "y" at the end repeated twice more (perhaps he is "two wye's" for us, then). In any event, I don't see a refusal to change the name, just a question that was answered, and then the matter seems to have been dropped (WjbScribe has been away for a few days).

I agree with NYbrad; we can afford to wait a little longer to see if he'll agree to change usernames. The issue was only re-raised just now by RJASE. But I do think the name needs to go, it's confusing. Mangojuicetalk 16:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
The name is in violation of the letter of the policy, and is against the spirit of the policy in the it is confusing to remember and type, and distinguish from say Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyy. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 16:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree with HighInBC. --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@(Lets go Yankees!) 22:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • A name like this makes contacting him needlessly complicated. - Mgm|(talk) 09:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Not a damn vote. Comment refactored. ViridaeTalk 10:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
