Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I was trying to unlock a dragon-type safari in Pokémon Y and you can't just enter a random code for that - you need to find another player who has such a safari in their own game already, share codes with them, and then you both need to be online at the same time at least once. After lots of googling I found a person on reddit, but didn't have an account at the time so I created one just for that dumb safari.
I didn't even plan to keep the account in the first place, so I didn't care for a proper name - that's the reason I was named "justlookingfordragon" back then. I tried "just_looking_for_a_dragon_type_safari_THX" first but it exceeded the character limit.
After that, I didn't touch the account again for a few months but eventually started using it proper for giveawys of Pokémon breedjects, and then later Zelda-related stuff. Still never bothered to find a better name and it's become somewhat of a running gag for me to use that awkward username elsewhere (like for youtube and lemmy for example).
