User Name management scheme needed
Currently, in Oct05, there is an influx of new people, a result of a more relaxed Edit Code Word setup. I suggest we put a Flying Visitor stamp on unrecognized people who create User Names and nothing else that is On Topic. For others who create User Name and have been recognized (maybe thru IP) to participate in community activities, then we add a Category Home Page to the created User Name. If the created User Name represent a recognized name in the computing field, then maybe we add Category Person if it could be of interest.
If there is a recognized IT person User Name added, we may want to watch the activities related to that name for a few days. If nothing happens we may want stamp it with Deleted But Welcome To Wiki.
If we do not do anything for a few days, then weeks later it will be hard to guess whether a User Name was created in good faith. A better solution probably exists but I am too tired to think. -- dl
