Areis: You make it harder to defend your actions when you attack Bree for not being on/defending the spammer and then refuse to accept criticism about your actions on other wikis because they should be left out of this. Please do not mistake my impartiality with patience - I'm also quite disappointed in you, and just feel that even if I don't agree with reasons for your actions, I am trying to understand them.

Second of all - I'd also like to state again why we're even caring about one individual. The person in question went from talking about mass-trolling of the wiki to armies of bots, both of which have failed to materialize. Could they? Absolutely, sure. But though it's a pain in the ass for us to clean up, it's also a wiki. On the internet. This isn't anyone's day-job, and we've already spent far more time and effort on this than we have on any 'threat' to our or the user-bases security. It could also be said that our user-base finding the wiki hostile and unwelcoming is a kind of threat...

Security is important, and I totally understand that. But at this point I think it would be better to just be more open in the future, concede that the move to obscure a secondary administrative account was (at the very least) a move that confused and disappointed the rest of us, and move along.
