I was just wondering, why are three of the 1-Digit usernames banned?

https://www.speedrun.com/user/0 https://www.speedrun.com/user/7 https://www.speedrun.com/user/8

I know that they are banned for a reason, but I'm wondering if 1-Digit usernames have the risk to be banned, and why are they banned?

Asking just in case, as it is kind of scary that three rare usernames are banned, and wondering if I have the risk to get banned, too.

I can explain 7 and 8 as they got banned due to a game I moderate, in MC Classic 7 and 8 submitted the same run to Break Dirt which meant that a person owned both accounts, having alts is banned on sr.c. 1-Digit names are fine as long as you follow the rules.

(also 0 might also be an alt because they follow a pattern of having their icon as same as their pfp, or anything else as a theme)

I don't think they got banned for being a number. If someone else makes the account "Daravae2" and misbehaves, why would I ask if someone with almost the same name as me got banned? Either way, asking why an account got banned isn't going to get you an answer since that information is reserved for site staff. And if anything people are just gonna do useless speculation in this thread because they don't know the specifics. Bottom line is that if you don't misbehave, I can't see a reason why you would be banned for being a number.
