| Aug 9, 2012 at 15:08 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | @ajax333221 "stackoverflow" isn't an official system account, or the name used by any employee or used as part of impersonating a moderator. | |
| Aug 9, 2012 at 14:49 | comment | added | ajax333221 | which is officially disallowed mmm, couple months ago I reported a guy whose name was "stackoverflow" and nobody did anything... | |
| Aug 9, 2012 at 12:39 | comment | added | MarkJ | If it's "officially disallowed" to use misleading user names, why not ban it? I.e. change the system so that you cannot create an account with a misleading user name. feeds, community, Stack Overflow employee names, etc. | |

| Jun 27, 2012 at 6:41 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Grace this reminds me of something that happened long ago - what about users mimicking high rep users by taking their name and avatar? Should this be reported via a flag? Surely people can see the low reputation and everything, but still.. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 19:25 | comment | added | yannis | @GraceNote Hm? I thought the FAQ was where we were hiding stuff, it's not like anyone will ever read it... | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | Oh, while we're at it, the FAQ on every site also states explicitly: "You can only earn a maximum of +1000 total reputation through suggested edits, however." It's not intended to be hidden or surprising, so putting it in our main bed of instructions seemed like the best place. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:40 | comment | added | Some Helpful Commenter | @ErnestFriedman-Hill here's a person complaining when they've hit the limit. Which came after I noticed the limit wasn't being enforced. | |

Added officiality.

| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:38 | comment | added | Zelda | Just imagine all the abusive privileges Grace Note has earned with that 500 rep! | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:34 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | @Wont I have earned 500 invincible reputation on GameDev through nothing but suggested edits to posts and wikis. Mostly wikis. Basically, the disclosure is to note that I have actually done this behavior, and while I don't personally use it to justify the policy on it, it's still important to air it out in advance. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:29 | comment | added | user1228 | Full disclosure? Huh? | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:28 | comment | added | Josh Darnell | @sbi For what it's worth, enough rejected edits will automatically suspend someone from making suggested edits for 7 days. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:25 | comment | added | Josh Darnell | @ErnestFriedman-Hill It's definitely in the "How do suggested edits work?" faq post. I don't know if it's anywhere else, though. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:24 | comment | added | sbi | Ah, I didn't know that is limited. Still, 1k of rep would take 500 edit suggestions that need to be approved or discarded, which, if they are all dumb, needlessly drains resources from more important issues. (And that's why I think his edits do not compare at all to yours, which are a contribution to the community.) Add to this the time we spent on the user name/avatar issue, and any classic help vampire seems to be a nice chap compared to this mischievous guy. | |
| Jun 26, 2012 at 18:21 | comment | added | Ernest Friedman-Hill | I have to ask -- where is the only-1000-rep-for-editing limit documented? Is there a list of similar such limits that aren't widely known? | |
