I'd hate to block somebody before they "did" anything, but having a userid that is a numeric number nearly identical to a handful of other accounts that I have recently blocked is awfully suspicious (especially as it was created at almost the same time as a vandal account). Would a pre-emptive block be advisable in this case, or should we give the benefit of the doubt ("assume good faith") in this case? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:47, 1 May 2006 (CDT) | I'd hate to block somebody before they "did" anything, but having a userid that is a numeric number nearly identical to a handful of other accounts that I have recently blocked is awfully suspicious (especially as it was created at almost the same time as a vandal account).

:I share your caution, but I think it's common sense that good-faith users dont register with meaningless decimal strings as their usernames. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 10:08, 1 May 2006 (CDT) | |||

Preemptive Block?
I'd hate to block somebody before they "did" anything, but having a userid that is a numeric number nearly identical to a handful of other accounts that I have recently blocked is awfully suspicious (especially as it was created at almost the same time as a vandal account). Would a pre-emptive block be advisable in this case, or should we give the benefit of the doubt ("assume good faith") in this case? --Steelviper 09:47, 1 May 2006 (CDT)
- I share your caution, but I think it's common sense that good-faith users dont register with meaningless decimal strings as their usernames. --Peter Farago 10:08, 1 May 2006 (CDT)
