Haya. It is for any reason provided that reason does not violate TOU. For example, a block can be "because I don't like you" BUT not "because you're [ethic/social group]".

I'm trying to ecall exactly where, but your example of "blocking usernames which begin with […]" was actually given in an official place. Might have been a Staff blog as I can't easily find it on any help pages. Point was made that while an extreme situation, it was more or less a valid one (provided it wasn't an attempt to make the wiki private). This is *sorta* suppoted by the common default "unacceptable username". Depending on an admin's experiences, "Debbie" could be unacceptable and always blocked.

Extreme example. Though if brought to Staff's attention, they'll probably give the entire situation a lookover to get a feel for if there is anything else deserving of attention before asking other Staff for second opinions. "Rarely" can also mean "case by case".
