Much per Sue Rangell (we were approved for tool access on the same day). I've run into 'rate limit' a couple of times and it would be handy to be able to bypass this. As a British editor I'm often around when there are less ACC team members online and the requests start to build up. Pol430 talk to me 11:38, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I'm sorry that I missed Sue's request. Note: The Accountcreator flag is used (at ACC) to handle special requests and allows the creation of accounts with similar existing accounts and not to be able to handle "more" request per day. Does hitting the six a day limit a couple times mean you're ready to handle conflicting requests ? Mlpearc (powwow) 17:28, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
