If [sic] is used, then there is an error. Sometimes its apparent, others it is something that may not be obvious like a misspelled name.
rockchlhjayhku11 [sic] is a message board poster on TigerDroppings.

Sic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see SIC (disambiguation).
The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")[1] inserted after a quoted word or passage, indicates that the quoted matter has been transcribed exactly as found in the source text, complete with any erroneous or archaic spelling, surprising assertion, faulty reasoning, or other matter that might otherwise be taken as an error of transcription.

Wiki is not regarded as a good source here because it has been taken over by liberals and other fellow travelers.

It's been explained pretty well so far but the connotation is usually "the original author is a moron".
