Banning/Deleting an account

[SupermassiveBlackHole]

Hi,

 

I was just wondering if when you ban or delete an account ALL of its data and information is gone with it? Also, if someone with the username "Apple" was banned or deleted, could somebody else make a new account with the username "Apple" as there's no record of it?

 

Cheers.

We typically do not delete accounts. We normally just ban the account which locks it from being used. If we deleted an account, sure anyone would be able to create the exact same account name and the email address that was associated to the old account could be re-used to create yet another account (which is another reason why we ban...keeps people from registering with the same email address)

Ok, thanks for clearing that up LHammonds.

 

I was wondering if you (or any other Admin) aren't too busy could delete my account? I'd like a fresh, new start and the chance to adjust my username (xiiROSS). I've backed my mods and signature up. It doesn't matter if you don't want to, just something I would very much like :biggrin:

Deleting your account wasn't going to happen...and banning it would have keep you from making another with the same characters. There was nothing else I could do other than change the case. However, you were lucky enough that I was in the middle of a server install...which spins its own wheels for 20 minutes or so. So this is officially the 1st rename I have done this year. :thumbsup:

 

As for any others out there reading this, don't get any ideas. It was pure luck I was caught up on my daily tasks. I'll probably say no to the next 3 requests just because I did this one. :ninja:
