Just to deal in facts, this is not a rule, nor has it been the precedent.
Man, if only there were a way to make a distinction between someone who comes back and actually posts here, and someone who just registers a new account to spite the vote here.

Name changes arenât the same as anonymization.

This seems to only work if you limit new registrations to invite only.

The distinction is you like some and donât like others. Itâs your whole modding consequence model and the origin of the entire fucking site exploding.
Youâre making up stories about ârenouncing the entire site.â Did you ever think that the mod situation is a reason people do or donât post here? That founding members, who own their piece of this community like anyone else, might vote for representation like CrunchyBlack in order to see if they want to post here again?
There are people who did ârenounce the siteâ as you put it. They voted Yes on Wookie this time.
Everyone knows who the accounts are that voted No on Wookie. Youâre all just creating ex post facto rule revisions because you donât like those people and donât want their votes to count.

all of them or just the ones you personally despise?
They renounced it, obviously.

This is not a comment on this particular vote, just a general statement: some posters may want to anonymize or delete their account or posts due to concerns about doxxing, etc. Letâs not generalize anonymization as only being because people want to renounce their membership in the site. I also donât think we should eliminate it as an option in the future just because of concerns about voting.
Itâs plainly obvious that the people who request these things and then immediately come back using the same name are just dicking with everyone and would be immediately shown the door in just about any other online community.
As it stands, account deletion or anything that risks breaking the site ought to be out of the question.

Iâm sure that is sometimes the case, I just donât think itâs always the case and wanted to note that there are legit reasons for wanting to remove association with previous posts and caution against making any new rules because of voting concerns.
The accounts at issues are MrJbroRisen, MaxCut, TimBuktuuf and ThoughImPoorIAmFree. I have an idea who the first two are. Do you know who the last two are? Feel free to reply by PM.
Edit: Iâve got one of these wrong. TimBuktuff is not a recent joiner.
Iâm not sure how this rumour got started but account deletion has a 0% chance of breaking the site.
I requested anonymization like a month ago in lieu of otatop banning me for daring to reply to his PM when I was arguing with him about his moderation. He didnât do either but then got mad when I hearted a couple of his posts yesterday and brought it up again. I hadnât posted since my disagreement with him. Probably wonât post going forward with the moderators that are in place or about to be in place, who all despise me and my friends and act accordingly. And who have zero interest in understanding and reconciliation. Excepting econophile and yuv, theyâre good guys.
my fuck you was also lighthearted, you couldnât tell?
You werenât saying âgood riddanceâ? If you say so Iâll believe you but thatâs how it reads.
I hadnât posted in like a month. Three weeks maybe? Anyway, youâll get your wish, enjoy your forum.
MaxCut is a founder member ffs.
