This category exists for the purpose of tracking active user accounts that have been flagged as possible violations of the username policy. Patrollers are asked to follow the guidance on dealing with inappropriate usernames when monitoring these accounts. In particular, please note that promotional violations should normally be left alone if the user has not edited after being warned about their name. Accounts should be removed from this category when they have been indefinitely blocked, inactive for more than one week, or are clearly not violations of the username policy. See also
