:> "I find it unsavory that the second point is only being proposed now after an admin/bcrat wanted to change their name and found that their desired name was already taken in its raw form by a long gone rando" | |||
:I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time that ''anyone'' has wanted to change their name and found it both occupied and unused. This isn't being suggested just because that person was a staff member.

:*2 years is definitely on the low end to me, but it's probably fine. | |||
:*The intent of the "no talk page edits" line was to guarantee that no old signatures would point to the wrong user. Not sure if there's a wording that can keep this idea while not letting a talkpage edit be an instant "no". | |||
:*I see the point of this "account got banned but managed 10+ edits before then" change. | |||
:*I don't personally want to start us having to police whether someone has the "rights" to a username that happens to be well-known elsewhere. If so, it would indeed belong more in the username policy than in here. | |||
:*Yeah a "discretion" point should be added. | |||
