Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

      I was aware claims have been made against it. But there is so much conflicting information, that I will leave it up.

      Last time I read this from Klippenstein it was from someone disregarding another “manifesto” that had been circulating around. So much confusion to be had.

        Interesting, I haven’t seen that much conflicting information about them. All the confirmation I’ve seen has been for the version that Klippenstein had published, including for the reason that certain phrases in it matched some descriptions from the media before it had been published.
