also there's a "mmmieskie".
Can I have permission to delete them/inactivate them?
I say it's a weird-ass name and it's not a coincidence.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Go for it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
mmmieskie is already inactive -- that happened this morning. As for /mieskie, you can't deactivate him usefully until he's validated his membership. But you can change the e-mail address and reset the password -- that way he'll never know what the new one is.

Neither of them has the 'active' box checked.
What's that about?

Delete. Even if its not the same person (and it probably is), it's willful mischief to use the name at this point and bad form.

Jon, tell him that username is disallowed. I assume it's a different email addy?

I like Ita's method. It's clever.

E-mail addresses have to be unique.

OK got it.
Shall we change the password right now?
I'm a bit confused about the right thing to do.
More to the point, who wants to send him email from the Admin account, and how should it be worded?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hopefully secret message to Kat, since I've never white fonted before.
Thanks. I'd like that. I even signed up for the F2F, since it's Buffistas and local.
