People's user names coming up as anonymous" with a number next to it

Hi again,
Sorry for another forum question. But I noticed it just in this forum, so I thought I'd ask here.
I was looking for TCs profile since I haven't seen her on here since thursday and wanted to PM her. But on all the posts that she's written, it's just this "anonymous 314" thing or something. I also happened to notice this in the case of psychicbaby. Does that mean these people don't have accounts anymore? And under their name it says "guest". I thought no one could come on here just as a guest without an account.
Just really curious. Maybe that's what happened to lostmyway!

it means that they had their account deleted.

TC chose to delete her account in here.I think she can still read but not post.

Miswimmy1 · Nov 18, 2012 at 04:54 PM

she can only read as a guest...

If anybody knows the answer to that (I don't) it would be courteous to TC not to post it publicly. Not criticising you for asking, button, you're asking out of concern and because you care, but peoples' reasons for leaving should not be posted for all to read. This is a much more public place than we like to think.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much! This makes sense now. I'm sorry she delited her account. Maybe she'll come back another time.
Also I agree about not posting someone's reason for leaving, especially if it were to come from someone else and not the actual person who left. I was just asking out of concern. Thanks again.

It means they left. Can we stop talking now about people who are not here?

Nov 18, 2012 at 10:31 PM

does anyone know how you delete your account? I have checked everywhere and can't find anything.

It's usually best that when a member has questions about another member leaving that they pm a mod/admin for that information. Discussing other members, past or present can be viewed as being against guidelines, although we do understand when members are confused about such things and post about them.

The "guest" connotation is one that is applied to all past members who have had their accounts deleted, it does not mean that they can post as anonymous.

Anyone who wishes to have their account removed should pm any mod/admin with their request.

Thank you all for your concern and I hope I was able to answer your questions.

Take good care,
