@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone's comments were deleted in a thread I was just looking at, and I went onto their profile and it also appears to have been deleted? Anyone have any knowledge about them? It's sad if we've lost such a long-time excellent member of this community.

I should create and kill a user account to experiment and answer this authoritatively. Given that unionagainstdhmo's posts and comments appear to have gone, while Baku's have not, I suspect there is an option to delete all your content when you delete your account.

@nath @Zagorath I read 30 days. Mine took 30 days to delete from other instances, instantly from the home instance. One instance they reappeared and I contacted the Administrator to have them removed.

He said it was a bit of a fuck around to delete them from the database and it appears I was banned from server, not that I quit.

My other account on beehaw haven't gone at all but that is running a different version.

When banning a user we're presented with a tickbox option to remove all posts/comments from them. Likely the admin did this rather than delve into the DB.

@lodion I was already dropped as a user, I think he said he had to reinstate me to ban me.

The way he explained it, it was unusual behaviour and more of a "bug".
