Question about DQB
Hi! Over at ANI, Liz pointed out that usernames with the string 'truth' often belong to accounts of problematic editors. Does DQB current send such usernames to UAA like it does with 'yolo' (drawing attention to editors whose usernames aren't themselves violations but are high risk of being disruptive based on the username)?

- User:AmandaNP/UAA/Blacklist contains all the filtering rules, and I haven't maintained the list for a long time, I leave it to those active at UAA per the talkpage on that user page. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:57, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've made an edit request on the talk page of the blacklist. Best regards, QwertyForest (talk) 06:53, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
