Re:SP[edit]

Oh, thanks! My bad, it seemed like a normal request by a user with no issues. They clearly admits the SP in the new request! The account has been unused for some time, so I don't know if it's better if the account stays that way, so it can't be used and registered again or if it’s better to revert the vanish and to ask for a block. What do you advise? Superpes15 (talk) 05:16, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Superpes15: IMHO block is enough, I don't see the need to revert the rename. -- CptViraj (talk) 05:40, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, just add all their SP in the blacklist, so they cannot ask for a rename anymore! Superpes15 (talk) 11:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
