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

As for /mieskie, you can't deactivate him usefully until he's validated his membership.
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
perkins - you forgot to close the font tag, which caused the post(s) below it to also be white-fonted! I fixed it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll do it. Gimme a sec to make something up.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
No, I say delete him right away.
Utterly. He's totally validating his banning. And we let him have his say as mmmieskie.
If someone has issues with me and they post it in something I don't read, then it's like talking about me behind my back and yet not.
Yeah... one time I changed all my subscriptions and searched for my name in the threads I don't read, just out of paranoia. This here isn't gossipy talk, however, it's discipline talk. I felt kind of bad that we were talking about Deena in here and then she read it, but it was a fair discussion. Complaining in Natter about people who post here might be a bad precedent for gossip, however.

I dislike to an incredible degree the idea of deactivating someone before we've heard one peep from him/her/it. I'm in favor of waiting for them to show wolf snout under sheep's clothing, but let's not shoot the sheep before we've seen the fangs.

OK so they get one post, and if it's obvious from that one post they're the old mieskie, then we can delete?
