* ''"Therefore nobody's going to change it because they've been told it represents consensus"'' - not true. It's being discussed here right now, so state your rationale and let's go for consensus. You're challenging it, right? - [[User:Ali-oops|<font face="comic sans ms" color="green">Alison</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ali-oops|☺]]</sup> 01:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:Nope, I'm saying if you want to make it policy, establish consensus. That's the correct thing to do. Until there's consensus established (rather than just changing it and nobody noticing/objecting), it should not be in the policy. [[User:Nssdfdsfds|Nssdfdsfds]] 01:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:: "''Nope, I'm saying if you want to make it policy, establish consensus''" - great. So go ahead and do just that, because right now, it '''is''' policy. - [[User:Ali-oops|<font face="comic sans ms" color="green">Alison</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ali-oops|☺]]</sup> 02:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
*If anybody wanted to change it back at that point, they would've changed it back. It's not like this snuck under the radar... That said, [[WP:CCC|consensus can change]], so if you want to have another debate on the merits of the policy, that's fine. I think it should stay the way it is because it's difficult to type, and it'd make it difficult to distinguish between different users with nonsense names if we permitted nonsense names. Also, I think it helps discourage a certain amount of casual vandalism (by discouraging the creation of throwaway accounts), which is a good thing. -[[User:Hit bull, win steak|Hit bull, win steak]]<sup>[[User talk:Hit bull, win steak|(Moo!)]]</sup> 01:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
