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)
I'm aware of the other 'bits' the flag confers and I'm fairly confident I can handle more complex requests, including 'too similar'. I had a chat with Riley and a few others on IRC the other day, about an account I deferred as too similar (different case). Because the similar account appeared to only existed locally and was inactive, I commented that I felt it was suitable for creation. Turned out that there were other unlinked accounts that the standard checks did not pick up because of a bug. The upshot is, I now know that in such cases the existing account (in exact case) must be manually checked against global contribs and SUL. Anyway, my primary reason for requesting was to not be limited to 6 accounts per 24hrs -- in light of the increase in activity at ACC; however, if you have concerns about my suitability, I will bow to your judgment and strike this request.

I have no qualms regarding your suitability, I merely wanted to point out that this flag is not "just to get more done" Cheers. Mlpearc (powwow) 19:33, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I understand, I should probably have written a better request rationale. Thanks for the feedback. Pol430 talk to me 19:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
