So I was reading this article (h/t @ernie)
https://www.404media.co/wordpress-checkbox-login-wp-engine/
and I hit this kinda jawdropper of, sorry to link the bad place, a tweet:
https://twitter.com/JavierCasares/status/1843963052183433331
Where someone describes being banned from wordpress.org for asking questions about the "affiliated with WP Engine" checkbox. Note that's a thread, which neither the 404media post nor probably the Twitter website will show you, and there are followups beyond that one screenshot. I assure you they were reasonable and calmly stated
