* Accounts should only be made for people currently in the Endurance Coalition Discord. If they aren't, the person must be redirected to a bureaucrat for an answer.

* Never click <code>Close account</code> in the [[Special:EditAccount]] interface.

* Never click <code>Close account</code> in the [[Special:EditAccount]] interface.<ref>Nothing ''actually bad'' happens if you do this. It just scrambles the person's password and blanks their email field (which is ''already'' blank). But this just creates more work if the user ever wants to, ya know, login and edit. If a user needs to not be allowed to edit ever again, then that falls to an administrator (using [[Special:Block]]) to enact, '''not''' an account specialist. A properly setup block will perform essentially the same function.</ref>

* To help recover an account, simply use [[Special:EditAccount]] to change the person's password to something random and give it to them. '''Instruct them to change it immediately'''.

** Make sure, if there is even a sliver of doubt, to double check the account verified template on the user's page to ensure the correct Discord user is getting their account back.
