What happened to my user?
« on: January 21, 2011, 01:10:58 PM »
Hello!

I came to check some info about a Mini 250W that had the cables twisted and find that my old user GM Brazil/GM Brazil is deleted...

What happened?

Thanks!

Hi Bruno

How have you been? It seems a few accounts have disappeared somehow recently. Not sure why or how or even if Leslie has something to do with it :) hehe

Welcome back in any case

It certainly has nothing to do with Leslie, because he deleted his own account back in December. (At least, I presumed he did it.)

I've narrowed down the time when these other accounts accounts were lost to around the 11/12th January this year, but still no idea how or why.

Bruno, it's good to have you back on board again.

Hi Alan, and welcome back Bruno.

Alan, could I ask who here does/did have moderation and administration rights on the forum?

Nice! :D

Thank you all folks! To me is not a problem, I think that was easier to me to create the new account with the correct dealer e-mail compared to try to remember the old password ;)

I'm pretty occupied with the sales and client e-mails :D that is why I was quiet here. I'll create a new post for the problem I'm facing now.

I know I can delete posts and I have done it to spammers and send an email to Alan when I do it. That is something I enjoy doing and I like the fact that because I am in a different time zone then Alan I can get to the spam at a time when Alan is either snoring, working or drinkin "pops".

Andrew,

There are currently nine forum members who have additional admin/moderating permissions. (Leslie used to be the tenth)

Of these nine members, there are only three or four users who have permissions that would allow them to delete member accounts, and only two of those users had visited the forum around the time the accounts were lost, myself and Yao. I've already spoken to Yao, and he assures me it was not him, and I'm pretty sure that I haven't done it either.

I spent a lot of time last weekend going though lists of every post on the forum to determine exactly which accounts had disappeared.
I found numerous posts simply showing as "Guest" instead of the correct user accounts, which were no longer linked to around 16 different user accounts. Some of these may have been removed by the user themselves (like Leslie's account), but many of them would not have been. In the last couple of weeks several of these members have re-registered on the forum, but not all.

So if you find your account has disappeared in the last couple of weeks, we'd love to see you back again (unless you're a spammer!).

The following users have not yet re-registered:
  • Dummy Dave
  • Gunrei   Just re-registered as I posted this!
  • TRK

Hopefully they will be back with us again soon!



Alan
