WP:UAA reports on users with no edits[edit]

Information iconGenerally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By the same token, you should not be welcoming users with no edits either. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I just came across this string of edits. Users are well within their rights to remove notices from their own talk page. See WP:BLANKING for more information. Primefac (talk) 12:01, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, apologies, I wasn't aware of that but alright, thanks for telling me. XSklzxDark (talk) 01:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
