    That’s not the full list. There’s a separate (and much longer) section of userRegexes to block people who use the same username on multiple instances.

    Also, you are in the Users list on the file I downloaded. Not sure where you got the comment you pasted, but it’s not accurate at all.











  • I’m not sure you appreciate how literally technically correct you are.

    The harder you brake in the front, the more the weight shifts forward. At the point you start to do a stoppie – when the front brakes are applying maximum force to the road – the weight on the rear wheel drops to zero and thus the stopping force it’s applying drops to zero as well.

    In other words, the rear brake gets less useful the harder you try to brake.

    For maximum deceleration, the main thing you need to do isn’t to try to use the rear brake more, but instead get out of the saddle and stick your butt as far back as you can, shifting the weight back and making it as hard to get to that point of rear wheel liftoff as possible.
