Editing Encyclopedia:Username policy (section)

=== Report blatant violations ===
If you believe that a username needs to be immediately blocked and is an obvious violation of policy, you can report it to [[Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention|Usernames for administrator attention]]. This page should only be used for clear and egregious username violations that merit an immediate block and without any discussion or warning beforehand.

Do not ''both'' warn a user account or discuss the username and your concerns with a user account, ''and'' file a report against the user account at [[WP:UAA|Usernames for administrator attention]] at the same time. A warning or discussion by another editor should be perceived as an ''invitation'' or an ''encouragement'' for the user to change their username or otherwise resolve the matter at-hand, while filing a report against the account invites a block to be immediately placed and without warning or discussion beforehand. These two actions directly counteract with one another; performing both actions can cause confusion, frustration, and the [[WP:BITE|biting of newcomers]] where [[WP:AGF|the assumption of good faith]] likely should have been the preferred initial response.
