Editing other users' comments on talk pages and the forum is strictly forbidden and an extremely bannable offence. Editing a user comment because of profane language or harassment is equally forbidden, but removing inserted provocational illustrations and/or media is allowed. | Editing other users' comments on talk pages and the forum is strictly forbidden and an extremely bannable offence.

''See §U:4.'' | |||
Users with unrealistically long or complex user names and lack of edits may with caution be deleted upon sight. These accounts are more often than not robots, "bots", spamming external links and commercial content. To avoid suspicion of violation of this paragraph when creating an account, users ought to bear the following points in mind when choosing a username; that certain combinations are more suspect than others. | |||
With decreasing degree of suspicion: | |||
*A username of complete gibberish. For example: ''Dfjjslkkdllkseaneilp'' | |||
*A username consisting of presumably two composed lexemes and a few numbers. For example: ''Aaschenbrenner68, Tayvesquoto1971'' | |||
*A username of presumably gibberish with inserted numbers. For example: '' Qadk33jchk'' | |||
*A username of a proper name followed by random letters. For example: ''MonicaPkq'' | |||
Administrators ought to bear in mind that invoking §U:4 requires a degree of certainty. It is preemptive and thus not easily enforced. | |||
