Right, I added it a few months ago when 6ix posted it and since his post remained unchanged I assumed I hadn’t added the word correctly or something but as TheDuker pointed out it makes sense that it only filters new posts.
Deleting an account is just what it sounds like - the user no longer exists and their posts and PMs are deleted, as well. If they started a thread, that entire thread is deleted, as well.
I have recently granted these requests, just because it seems like the kind thing to do. But it’s actually a pain in the ass, depending on how many posts the user has and how many topics they’ve started. It also really disrupts the user experience here, because deleting posts from within a topic can make it unreadable. And deleting entire topics is terrible, obviously.
So far, I’ve been manually looking up any topics created by to-be-deleted users and changing ownership of those topics to a fake user @ThreadStarter so the topic isn’t deleted when the user is. But that is a one-at-a-time manual process that is an enormous pain for anyone with more than like 3 topics.
Anonymizing accounts, which is both easier and results in a better user experience for everyone else is FAR better.
6ix was showcasing how mentioning the ethnicity of the customer support representitive is racist.
If you two really did not understand it, i hope it helps. If you do understand it, please refrain from pointless forum warz.
