Requests for comment/Revoking Metaverse's global rename permission

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The following request for comments is closed. The community supports and endorses the removal of the global renamer permissions of User:Metaverse for the reasons stated on the Stewards' Noticeboard thread and this RfC. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Situation[edit]

5 days ago, on the 10th of May, I revoked the global rename rights of Metaverse (talk · contribs) for vanishing an account without permission to take the username over. When asked for clarification on their talkpage, they acknowledged the message and just stopped editing from that point on globally. I and others at Stewards' noticeboard thought this constituted abuse of the permission and that is why I removed the right. I am now creating this RFC per policy when it is removed. -- Amanda (she/her) 14:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
