Dreamwidth apparently got overzealous and deactivated active communities in their effort to stop the "username landgrab". (oops, twice)

There should have been a betting pool for when the first script-related administrative error came up...

Yeah. Bound to happen sooner or later. Mistakes are inevitable. The important thing, IMO, is how they're dealt with, and so far, I've been very impressed with DW in that regard.

Based on my investigating, those are both related to the same user (the commenter in the second link), who registered about twenty communities for her tiny group of friends. I don't think it was undeserved.
