Wikipedia annoys me!

[Borghunter]

I have recently been block from wikipedia for the stupidest reason, my username is to similar to another username. This is probalbly the dumbest rule I have ever seen, and I can't sign up for a new account until tomorrow because it knows the IP I used to sign up, and my account was closed. Has anybody else had this problem, it gets on my nerves.

Wait the day and laugh it off.

No big deal. It's their site (that is, they set the policies and you have to live with them or not browse) and the policy seems fair, IMO.

Well, yeah, it\'s kind of awkward.
One day they stopped me also because my IP was going through a proxy (My ISP )
At the end all this policies are molesting the end user more than stopping spam.

I need an account to edit pages, my username was too close to that of moderator "BorgHunter", didn't there was another borghunter out there, and I registered as borghunter0, still pisses me off.
