But it will probably be expanded as soon as Jimbo pronounces something.
Yes, that's right. I suppose it's for Michael or what we have
traditionally called blatant vandalism (goatse.cx, etc.). Certainly
it would be a *grave* abuse to use it in any case other than that.
We'll also want to take reasonable care that we not ban logged-in
users who aren't really Michael. Mistaken identity is worse than a
few random idiot edits on his part.
I would advise that it be used just as for IPs,
which means that new usernames doing only vandalism can be blocked.
But established user names can't be blocked for new errors,
just as IPs that have done more than vandalism can't be.
That's right.
