The blocked me and everyone like me!
Foggy is blocked on the regex list. So no foggy1 or foggyfroggy or nutnin!
I'm also on the regex list, but oddly I don't have the trailing $, so if I made an account like, oDojan, that'd not be caught. I'm not alone in not having a $, but a lot of people do.
I wonder what earns a place on the regex list versus the other. Did we only medium piss him off?
Given some of the regexes are just like
^example.*$
And others are
^example[0-9]+$
My guess is when they have two in the list that match one regex they shorten the list by making a regex block.
So for some users I'll bet it is to take care of things like
IIIlll vs lllIII showing up and realizing that's regexa Le and hey let's just get any and all lengths of alternating Is and ls.
And then others are for like
DallasCowboys1985 vs DallasCowboys42069 where I'd bet they figured just do all DallasCowboys with numbers trailing.
Sifting through it it seems so e might be targeting one user with multiple similar accounts, but others are just totally ham-fisted dumb approaches like mine. Like I probably made the list and some other user 'foggyXYZ' also did. And now 'foggy-sux-we-hate-him' is blocked too. ๐
Iโm just wondering why Iโm on the regex list. I guess leftist and trans is probably enough.
The regex list is to make sure any possible alt accounts on other instances are also caught
Imagine upsetting someone so much they feel the need to write a rule to generically match your name and all names that remind them of you. Sounds like a great love story. Enemies to lovers.
