If you have an account named xvilo and an account named realDonaldTrump on your instance, they're a person going around and registering those usernames on every single instance they can find.
I would suggest deleting their account if you're an admin or just reporting them if you're a user as they're not going to use the instance, they're just going to camp their name.

@boots Yah, that won't free up the username for use by a legitimate party, though.

@boots how does one actually delete a user from the DB? Also, would suspending be better so they can't just claim it again?

@phildini suspending works

@boots ok that explains that, I kinda wondered what was up.

@boots Now I knew what happened on my instance. Thanks!

@boots Is there a way to properly delete an account?
