I'm not really sure if this is misleading since not many users know about it...

    Usernames for administrator attention
    Shortcuts

    This page is intended for reports of usernames that are blatant and serious violations of the username policy requiring an immediate block. Reports will be assessed in accordance with the username policy, the UAA instructions, and the following bullet points. Please ensure you are familiar with the assessment criteria before making a report.

    1. Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks.
    2. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person.
    3. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional.
    4. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here.
    5. Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order.
    6. Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously.
    7. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports.
    You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
    Note: Patrollers may wish to monitor usernames flagged by filters 54, 148 and 149; private filters 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

    Note: Administrators should also kindly consider usernames listed at Filter 149, Filter 188, Filter 354, WP:UAA/HP and CAT:UAA.

      Not a blatant violation of the username policy. I don't see how a self-deprecating name can be offensive, if that's what one wants to call oneself. Keep an eye on it and block on the bigger problem if needed. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:32, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      I wonder if a member of a racial or religious group chose an offensive term for his or herself, whether we'd be more concerned. I believe "retarded" is considered an offensive term by many, and so should be seen as a problematic and disruptive name here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
