If you have ever wondered what it looks like to be tombstoned, I can show you.
1. Log out if you are logged in.
2. Click the "Login" link.
3. Type "L" in the "Username:" field.
4. Leave the "Password:" field blank.
5. Click the "Login" button and you will see the message that appears when you are tombstoned.

Interesting that they don't give any specific reason why; it's pretty much "talk to the hand" and they show you the rules.

1. This might be crazy, but I'm going to go have a look!
How did you discover this?

And, more importantly, why?

:hi:

5. I think I accidentally just pressed the "Login" button after just typing "L" for "LoZoccolo".
I was using my iPhone and it's got that little "auto-complete" feature for suggesting entries in text fields after just typing in a few letters. But I'm not good with it; I think it suggested "LoZoccolo" and I just went on to the "Login" button but I didn't yet commit to the suggestion or something.

3. I've never been tombstoned.
I don't think I want to test this out.

8. There was an actual user named "L" at one point

You get the same thing if you put in "DeeWilly" and "Mikefromwichita" (Two trolls I've seen) with no passwords too.
