The little red line through the name is somewhat confusing.

It was a very poor attempt at censoring his name (not mine).

Yeah, that's completely legible. Must not have cared too much, I suppose.

I noticed this kind of thing happening in a particular subreddit; there was a rule requiring all identifying info to be censored with the purpose of the sub not getting banned for brigading, but people disliked this and always tried to pass off censorship attempts that were as poor as they thought they could get away with.

Reminds me of when people try to invalidate bar codes that way.

What's there to be confused about? It's an obviously great job of censoring to make sure to protect the online identity of a terrible person named ~~jaicilgin~~ . I know that last word looks completely illegible, but it actually is censored just like in the screenshot!
