This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.
Request reason: "I believe this block is inconsistent with the existing usernames allowed. here is a list of some which have been used and are not blocked: User:Bitch.hates.you User:Bitchen User:Bitches22 User:Bitches123 User:Bitchslut User:Bitchonen User:Bound nicole babe78 User:Bound to the A User:Bound2bncali User:Bottom Feeler User:BondMaster User:Rigger30 User:TopKnot. I know that some of these are not sexual in intention but if it's about what someone sees and can be offended by, they all could offend someone. The Bitchonen one is a "preemptive" that the creator says won't be used but it should still be blocked if that's the rule. If you check the list of users for "bitch", "bond", "bondage", "bottom", "bound", "dominate", "master", "mistress", "rigger", there are lots of names, some of them really filthy, that haven't been blocked. I'm not calling anyone else a bitch and most people don't think it's a big deal these days anyway. i see plenty of t-shirts in public with bitch written on them and there's lots of bondage references on wikipedia. I'm not intending to offend anyone and i thought wikipedia wasnt censored anyway. I just want to use this name to edit on the topics that I'm interested in. please unblock me or block all the others to be fair. (Why don't you have a list of banned words if bondage or bitch are not allowed? If there's one I cant find it.) Bondage Bitch (talk) 04:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)"
Decline reason: "That other people break the rules without anyone noticing doesn't mean that there aren't rules, so the fact that you searched for usernames that include the word 'bitch' means very little; what's important is this username, which appears to refer to a sex act and could bring the project into disrepute. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)"
Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.
- Just a comment, but you are wrong on some of those - the first, fourth, and fifth names listed have been blocked for a year only because of their username. --Golbez (talk) 04:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

- Please also note that if a name goes unnoticed for a while without any edits, it usually won't be blocked. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

- And it would help if you would indicate how you intend to actually contribute to Wikipedia, which you have not done so far. Sandstein (talk) 05:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't realise this was about anything but whether the name is OK. I want to edit articles on the topics about bondage, riggers, models, and I'm serious about it. I just started with that stuff on Lorelei7 because i saw her on commons and recognised her but i don't want to just promote her or anyone else. also, I didn't know how to check those names I really thought they were not blocked.

- Of the various examples you've mentioned, most are actually blocked or out of use -- the only active account I see in the bunch is User:Bitchen, and that account dates back to early 2006. Aside from the word "bitch," usernames which could reasonably be interpreted as referring to sex acts can potentially bring the project into disrepute; with this particular username, I'm not sure if either of those is a clear-cut case, but there is a case to be answered. In the meantime, if you get tired of us all arguing over your username, you should be able to log out and choose a new name at any time. Hope this hasn't soured your attitude too badly. :) – Luna Santin (talk) 09:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia, and what happens here, is on the news pretty regularly. At the very least, a username needs to be something that could be used in a news story unproblematically. Picture a CNN news anchor saying, "The accusations against Senator Clinton were visible to Wikipedia users for about thirty minutes before being removed by a user known as Bondage Bitch." -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
