wtz_fan special account

Post by bruno81 »

I noticed two issues with this account

1- How to understand that it is a special account? Members then comment that they will never get a response from the poster. I myself, who am nevertheless a regular on the site, did not understand it

2- What is the use of keeping queries deleted by the requester that have no followers? I think they should be deleted

Perhaps a badge with a symbol to indicate that the account is inactive (like a face with crossed out eyes, or a robot face).
Or change the name of the account to "[deleted]"
Or give it a profile picture to differentiate it from other users (like a robot face, or a red X)

It's also worth considering that some samples have personal conversations in the background, and privacy-conscious users might not want those conversations floating about on the internet even after they delete their account.

Also, even if there are no followers on a query, there might be people who've bookmarked the page or shared a link to the page.

Personally, I think that if a user wants to delete a query, or a comment, then they should be able to. If they delete their account, there should be a checkbox of "delete all queries and comments" maybe with some text underneath, explaining why they shouldn't delete it all.

When users were deleting their accounts in the past, all of their post/tracks, comments and activity were also deleted. We've received many complaints about this and that's why we've implemented this functionality.
As you know we have a private messaging system for private conversations and whatever they posted publicly will stay public...I don't think giving them an option to delete their activity is a good idea as it will be in 99% of the cases the same as before.

You did not answer my question

What is the use of keeping queries deleted by the requester that have no followers?

Well at the time of deletion they might not have, but may be later...
