We need to test if this indeed stops a user from being able to see anything even if they log on.  Ttenbergen 20:04, 2015 July 15 (CDT) {{discussion}}

Alternatively I could re-set the email address or password right in the database, but that would be somewhat high risk because I don't know for sure how that all works.

Because the account is used to track changes in the history of any article edited by a user, a user can not be deleted. However, a user's rights can be suspended.

To suspend rights for a user,

  1. go to Special:ListUsers and copy the actual user name
  2. go to Special:Userrights and paste the name there
  3. click edit user groups
  4. uncheck the checkbox for "CCMDB_legit" and click the "save user groups" button
