Closing accounts
Are accounts only disabled by request, or can they be disabled for vandalism? Is this basically global blocking? Bryce53 08:07, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not Necessarily. According to Sannse, she said accounts are always disabled per request.   Tariqmudallal    Talk    LogoLine     Logopedia    Community Central    Pixar Wiki    Bloons Wiki    Plants vs. Zombies Wiki   18:52,11/29/2013

Close a wikia
How do I close a wikia if the wikia staff members wont let me? They keep leaving it up and wont let the founder have rights.

 * Hey there, only Staff members can close wikis, so if they won't let you, then you won't be able to close it. Depending on the situation, Staff may also refuse to give the founder rights (e.g. due to abuse of admin rights). no replyz 06:39, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Will closing an account also remove the email from that account? It doesn't say anywhere, or am i just missing something? ~ToxicNightshades
 * Hi, using the instructions in the help page will not remove the email from the account. no replyz 08:16, October 8, 2018 (UTC)
