OK. It won't be banned.

I don't know whether it would be possible to make it into a non-voting account, but if so, would that be a good idea?

And, while we're at it, to make it impossible to change its password as someone did to the Username account.

Alternatively, make a script for (a) undoing all votes, and (b) resetting the password, and run it every midnight.

(b) can't be done if someone has changed the password before the script ran... unless the script has access to the e-mail the account was created with so it can do the "password forgotten" thing, now that I think about it... Does anybody know the e-mail of the Username account?

A script can talk directly to the database. It doesn't need passwords to access an account.
