−Shouldn't someone mention something about the username policy on the account creation screen? Maybe we should so new accounts can avoid being blocked. [[User:Keyboard mouse|Keyboard mouse]] 23:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

: It really isn't easy to concretely define the username policy. It's at the discretion of each WiiBrew admin. If a user does choose a username deemed unacceptable, they can simply create a new account with a different one. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 06:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

::But a lot of times the blocking admin decides to disable account creation most of the times even if it's not a bad-faith name, so the user cannot create an account with an appropriate name. See [[Special:BlockList]] for some examples. [[User:Keyboard mouse|Keyboard mouse]] 03:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

::::::Even if the user uses their IP address to create a new account, their new account will be blocked because creating duplicate accounts is not allowed. It shouldn't be like you can never contribute just because you didn't know about their policy. [[User:Keyboard mouse|Keyboard mouse]] 01:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

+::::::::I care so much because it's like an IP address can never contribute just because they didn't know about a policy, and new people don't always read the policy page before contributing. Please note that IP addresses change over time, and we shouldn't indef IPs when blocking them because for that reason. [[User:Keyboard mouse|Keyboard mouse]] 03:52, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
