Well first I m not saying is a good solution I m saying it s better than A good solution would be to not use templates on likely good faith users at all and to ask them to get a rename rather than block them first and politely explains about COI and CSD A7 and all Here is what says sorry can t figure out a way to make it format neatly Here is what says The difference is showing them respect and not throwing red X s at them and not making them beg and not automatically assuming it is spam which implies bad intent vs didn t know any better promotion One is more likely to result in good faith editors sticking around one is more likely to lead to good faith editors saying OK well fuck Wikipedia then It s easy enough to block them if they continue to promote and if not we may have gained an editor and more importantly we have treated someone with more respect And for obviously bad faith spammers you can keep on as you ve been doing and I won t care It s the unwillingness to try to differentiate between good faith editors and bad faith editors to assume the best until shown otherwise that bothers me
