Seems lately I'm seeing a lot of posts from "deleted users". I don't recall seeing these in the past. Are these people who have been banned for one reason or another, or have they just canceled out their accounts?
Inquiring mind wants to know.

Re: Deleted Users?
Yeah they're all from the same user. He creates a new account every month and makes hundreds of posts, then deletes. It really clutters things up.
Re: Deleted Users?
It looked at one time as though at least one of these 'deleted user' accounts was still posting, but perhaps I was seeing things. Or there's a bug in software?
It would be really cool if there was a "Purge" option to flush 'em.

Re: Deleted Users?
I guess I don't understand the logic deleting one's own user account. Seems like it would make more sense to just stop posting with that screen name and let it be. I believe M.W. goes periodically reviews the user accounts list and purges those that have gone dormant from the database (i.e. not made any posts over a long period). Why go to the trouble when you can just choose not to post with that screen name?

Simpler solution: delete the delete option.

Re: Deleted Users?
I always thought that when someone deleted their user account their posts disappeared off the board. Perhaps nobody's done it up to now. Always a new trick I guess.NS8401 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 12:49 amMaybe to then lurk and watch us speculate?Calvert DeForest wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 11:23 am I guess I don't understand the logic deleting one's own user account.

I think he just signed up with the name "RadioDude2001".
Sounds like something he would make

Huh, NS8401 quit too. He was a good egg.
I seem to have a few ignores that are posting non-stop.
