A ban speedrun is a speedrun where speedrunners attempt to get banned from a website of their choosing at the quickest time possible. Wikipedia is one of the websites that can be chosen for this.
Approaches
[edit]I will (even though I’m entering game guide mode) explain several approaches for a Wikipedia ban speedrun.
Vandalism
[edit]Vandalism is one of the most common and effective ways to swiftly get banned from Wikipedia. After all, there are tons of administrators carrying their mops everywhere on Wikipedia.[citation needed] Twinkle and ClueBotNG also exists, making your ban through vandalism incredibly easy. The catch, you can’t edit protected articles, as you’ll have to start afresh with a new account.
The other catch, you will be spammed with lots of ugly messages.
The username game
[edit]If you think editing is strenuous, don’t worry, you can always trigger the Wikipedia community with an inappropriate username. Always remember to make sure your username contains the following.
- Fuck
- Shit
- Arse/asshole
- Balls
- Butt
- Bitch
- Pussy/Vagina
- I hate <name of admin here>
- <random name> on <something that is round>
Afraid that you can’t make your username. Don’t worry! Simply name your username after a real company or political party and no one can tell the difference between a company breaking WP:NPOV and a wannabe banned user on Wikipedia.[a] You can also impersonate a popular celebrity of your liking!
Assuming bad faith and using legal threats
[edit]Now comes the fun part, assuming bad faith. You can either call an administrator a loser or spam hate messages on their talk page! Or if you want to take it further, sue them! What’s the harm of a good ‘ol lawsuit to the face? That will get you banned in a second, but it is always best to sue that victim Florida Man after the ban.[b]
What’s next?
[edit]Congratulations! You’ve been banned in under ten minutes! But was it really worth it?[c] Your existing accounts may take a toll and once you actually want to edit Wikipedia, you’ll probably get backlash from the community. Do not do this no matter what.
