Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Runtshit


Since Runtshit is gone, does keeping this here serve any useful purpose? While he was active it absolutely made sense to have this here to refer to, but now it seems like it could give future would-be vandals ideas. More generally, just keeping the tubes clear at LTA makes it easier to find whatever user you're looking for, so having inactive pages floating around seems unnecessary. I figured I'd float this here and see how it goes. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 18:51, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd want to hear from RolandR, but I'm in favour of delete due to its lack of practical usefulness going forward. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:06, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, his input would definitely help. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 19:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The person many of us believe to have been behind the Runtshit vandalism died a year ago. Since that time, three further Runtshit-type accounts have been blocked; one of them used the name Runtśhit's Ghost1. So we cannot rule out the possibility of further copycat accounts, and this page could be useful in identifying them. Is it possible to archive it, so that it could be reactivated if needed? And, by the way, I have just discovered that an account was created for Runtshit's Ghost at the same time as the blocked vandal above. It has not yet been used; could someone please block it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RolandR (talk • contribs) 00:42, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Took care of the account, I'm thinking through your comment and I'll respond when I've finished with that. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 02:34, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Quietly archive with blanking. Do not bring to high profile forums creating new records when seeking to close old one.  Why is this not an SPI page under control of SPI clerks.  MfD is not a suitable forum for dealing with sockpuppets. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:39, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Blank - Never thought I'd ever agree with but there's a first for everything :) - Joe's absolutely correct tho as this plage is linked on ANI boards, BLP boards, Admins talkpages and SPIs I feel like we'd be doing ourselves a big disservice by deleting it - If another account appears an editor can look at this and decide for themselves, Blank for now and if accounts reappear then unblank. – Davey 2010 Talk 18:45, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Davey2010, we've often been in agreement. What are you talking about?  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:28, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Joe, Sorry for the confusion I was referring to agreeing with you when it comes to blanking, As far I can recall I've always gone with K or D and I'm sure when it comes to blanking we've always disagreed with that, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 15:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
