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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Can I have permission to delete them/inactivate them?
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?

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

I like Ita's method. It's clever.
But he might think he hasn't been noticed sneaking back, just that he made a mistake with the password.
Someone should tell him outright that we see him trying to do it and we want him to stop.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I say it's a weird-ass name and it's not a coincidence.
I would recommend sending an email giving the reason for the deletion. (I don't know if this is already standard procedure?) Someday we could well have a genuine coincidence, after all.
