I can not see any request at the channel nor at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global#Request_for_global_.2...
You can also mail these usernames to the mailinglist if You prefere, some stewards are reading this list *and* are doing locking.
Best regards, E.

I tried but stewards then available couldn't handle UTF-8 Asian scripts. And it has continued from the end of July. Some jawiki* blocked those ranges (see checkuser-l for details) for months. I rather now worry about spamming libelous messages. After it was logged on user creation log and other logs, it cannot be removed.

When such usernames are spotted, please report them to stewards on #wikimedia-stewards, so we can lock & hide the accounts.

Small wikis are now spammed with unacceptable usernames which contain libelous messages. Is it an option to block the IP addresses behind those vandals not to create an account anymore?
Tricky if they're on floating IPs; I've seen a few autocreations on
en:wiki
that are offensive when you run them through Google translation, and blocked them there- but I think it's in the nature of SUL that these users will
not
edit on every wiki, and to try and weed these accounts out is
impractical.
If they are going to cause trouble on a non-native wiki, they will be spotted soon enough.

No, there's no need for them to make an account first. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
