Account creation

How are we handling account creation? (And this as is much a question for everyone as 75th.)

Can we easily pre-populate Wordpress with a bunch of accounts which have the same usernames and emails as all past BlogNomic players (those listed and commented-out in the sidebar, rather than every spammer that's every passed through), and then ask everyone to reset their password when they want to join?

Or will we let users register in Wordpress under any name they like, and sort it out with CfJ renames if we get the feeling that someone is using a legacy username misleadingly? I guess someone should at least keep a record of old usernames and emails before the EE blog disappears, so that we can contact old players if someone claims to be a returning veteran and we're not sure we believe them. --Kevan (talk) 09:18, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
