Oh Nooooosssse, 12 posts in 2 years, whatever will we do with out you? I for one will really miss your input. Farewell then friend. Just click on your user name at the top right of the screen and then the little gear icon. Then delete account right there at the bottom.
Bye!!!!!
He might have had more, when an account gets banned al the updoots given get wiped, I came here back when putt did a banwave for his pet sycophants, that he had to shamefully reverse after he got caught, and I've probably had multiple hundred of points wiped out because of user bans here on poal, if he was more active a couple years back I could see how he'd be frustrated.
That said I never had to do an intro, it's annoying, but ahead of the election shills are going wild, hell, a lot of power users are shills or fall for retarded psy-ops constantly, So I get wanting to get a lock on that, OP likely doesn't browse comments enough or the site enough to know how badly infiltrated communities like this are.
I you had been paying attention OP you would understand why this is probably the best simple move AOU can make.
You lose your points but not your post and comment count.
That really doesn't seem low on his end, 12 posts and a few hundred comments for a 2 year member that has had an absence, I get the suspicion but if you've ever administered a web page or a forum you'll know about the 80/20 rule, 80% of activity comes from 20% of users, 80% of new posts or threads comes from 20% of that first 20%, those are power users. I might be in the top 20% of commenters and that means 80% of users should be commenting much less than me, when you go looking the other way from power users you start finding lurkers and those people are the majority of your websites visitors, I'd bet more than half the people who would say they visit poal every day and have been doing so for a year or more don't even have accounts.
If you had upvotes from users who then get banned, you lose the internet points that you got from them.
when an account gets banned al the updoots given get wiped
That's inaccurate. Votes only get cancelled when the account was specifically used for vote gaming.
