It looks as though Acnh Player (talk | contribs | logs) made this edit when his user page has the same vacation template. He likely is ban evading. Should staff take a look? Super Mario World 10:11, June 21, 2024 (EDT)

In this case, we couldn't prove that it was him. We also have to consider the possibility that it could have been an impersonator. Drago (talk) 13:31, June 22, 2024 (EDT)

Acnh Player edited this block template changing the date from June 22 to June 21, (see page history for reason why) and had gotten into an edit war over someone else over it. Is this something he shouldn’t have done? Super Mario World

Don't worry, the whole situation is being discussed since it seems to have escalated quickly. Edit warring is definitely not acceptable user behavior (as outlined in policy) so please do report if you see another edit war talking place. Thanks! Drago (talk) 11:38, July 2, 2024 (EDT)

My question was more about editing block templates and less about edit warring, given that no staff members have reverted back his changes Super Mario World 12:31, July 2, 2024 (EDT)

This is only my opinion, but if there's an obvious mistake on the block template, I don't think there's anything wrong with a non-staff member correcting it. I'm not sure that there was an obvious mistake here, but Acnh Player may have been in a different time zone, causing the confusion. Drago (talk)

I can’t really provide much evidence but any usernames related to Animal Crossing or Nookipedia (such as NookipediaCrossing) suspiciously sounds like a sock of Acnh Player given that many usernames he made on Wikipedia are related to Nookipedia or Animal Crossing, and he seems obsessed with editing Nookipedia. Super Mario World 22:06, July 8, 2024 (EDT)

User has been blocked. An IP check confirmed they were the same user. Thanks for the report. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 01:49, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

Idk why I have my suspicions but Harry Potter appears to be a sock of Acnh Player given that his infobox is done in a similar way and he seems to act like a staff member. Or he thinks picking usernames not related to Animal Crossing or Nookipedia will help avoid suspicion. Super Mario World 08:02, July 18, 2024 (EDT)

I can't give you a definite answer because the bureaucrats are saying there's no IP match. All I can say is that investigation is ongoing because we are suspicious too. Thank you for understanding! Drago (talk) 11:08, July 18, 2024 (EDT)

Autoblock issues--Acnh Player

I had this issue today. Today was the day I was going to be unbanned, and when I clicked "edit", it said "This IP address has automatically been blocked." This was so annoying. I looked at both the block list and log, and my contributions page, and my block has expired. However the autoblock wouldn't expire for another 9 hours. So I had to wait for a million years and finally I am editing again. Is there a way for this to be fixed? Please see this image to see what I am talking about. Acnh Player (talk) 21:16, June 29, 2024 (EDT)

I'll ask the other staff about it; it's a problem that I've noticed before with autoblocks still being around even after the original block has expired. I should also note that most wikis have these blocks expiring after 24 hours, but a decision was made to increase them on Nookipedia to a week (which makes this issue more noticeable.) Drago (talk) 10:41, June 30, 2024 (EDT)

Discord ban

Hello again. I got banned on Nookipedia's discord about a month ago along with my block on Nookipedia. Now that the block has expired, can I be unbanned on Nookipedia's discord? Acnh Player (talk) 03:39, July 2, 2024 (EDT)

You were banned because you are underaged. You need to be 13 in order to use the service.

Coupled with your immature behavior spreading on our Discord, and I do not see a reason why we should remove your Discord ban. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 08:55, July 2, 2024 (EDT)

Shorten username limit to about twenty characters?

A troll recently made a 235 character username and i want to know if it’s possible to shorten character limit to prevent any people from making long usernames like this in the future Super Mario World 00:21, July 20, 2024 (EDT)

Yes, it can be changed and I'll ask if it can be done. My preference would be for the limit to be higher than 20, though, otherwise we could end up disallowing some acceptable usernames. Drago (talk) 11:24, July 20, 2024 (EDT)

(Double post) A limit of 40 characters has been implemented. Drago (talk) 10:51, July 21, 2024 (EDT)
