And manual approval. 'niceuser' suddenly renaming itself to "Brion is a ***" is not good. And bureaucrats being throttled so it can't be unrenamed worse. (And worst if it's a legitimate account which has been compromised)
Suggestions for throttling are of course only for self-renaming.
That rename is no more disruptive than some pagemoves with the same text, except, I suppose, that they would require a bureaucrat to reverse.
