    It’s a general approach to names with numbers at the end, the list is full of those. I’m almost more interested in the more specific patterns like name(69)+, because was there an alt name6969 he wanted to block but an unrelated name67 he wanted to avoid?

      I know, and I suspect the name came up more than once. But if I implemented some kind of algorithm to add people to the list based on posting behaviour, I wouldn’t put in the effort to have it implement a regex for “this guy and whatever number they added”.

      To me this looks like he wrote the list by hand. Which is even weirder.
