Template:Z12Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, SoapWithRope, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
I'm assuming I caught the bot's attention because it may have thought my username is somehow sexual, although I'm not sure how it's "wired" yet, so I could be completely off base. I looked at the list of users and searched things like, "SoapOn," which shows that plenty of other users have similar names. I mainly just want a human admin to check out the bot's block and determine themselves if my name is okay. Thank you so much for your time, regardless of the result!
You weren't blocked by a bot or an automated process. You were blocked by me, because your username can be read and interpreted as being inappropriate and offensive by other editors. Please follow the instructions provided in the block notice given to you in order to request your username be renamed to something else, or you can create a new account with an appropriate username. I'll leave your unblock request to be evaluated by another administrator. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs)10:32, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note to reviewing administrator: You're welcome to unblock this account if you disagree with my response above and feel that this username is acceptable - you don't need my prior approval. Just let me know that you did so and your thoughts that contributed to the decision. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs)10:35, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Boing! said Zebedee - I originally read it as being close enough to the term "Soap on a rope", which is typically referred to in a derogatory way to reference a culture of men being raped or sexually assaulted in jail or prison while taking a shower with other inmates. The soap "needs a rope" so that you don't have to bend over to pick it up after you've dropped it, exposing... yourself to being.... yeah. I hope my explanation is helpful. Again, feel free to unblock this person if you feel that this username is appropriate. I'm just explaining how I interpreted the username to being close to when I saw it in the new user logs. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs)10:43, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, right, I'd never heard that - to me "soap on a rope" is just an innocent commercial product ;-) Anyway, thanks for the explanation, but I think the term is generic/vague enough to avoid being offensive, so with your agreement I'll unblock.
