"User:!!" (Userpage for an indefinitely blocked bad-faith user)
"Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it may be rude or
inflammatory, unnecessarily long/confusing, too similar to an existing
user, contains the name of an organization or website, uses non-Latin
characters, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and
username policies for more information)."

Was this a usurpation of a previously banned user, or something?
I did wonder about that - the whole string of weird alphanumeric
usernames created to play merry hell with special:listusers Back In
The Day...
