I was trying to login today and found out my account got deleted so i created another one.
I was wondering why did that happen and can it happen again?

[Laurens D]

as far i know, that won't happen, perhaps it's because inactivity & low post counts?

can't say for sure, unless an moderator or admin give an explanation

How did you find out it was deleted?, could probably be that you have forgotten the pass/username..
Also, note that this websites allow you to change your name 3 times a month, but not your login pass and user, they stay the same.

I dont think it can just get deleted, but you will have to wait for Grumpy's reply on this =_=

We're not mind readers. What was the name of your alleged deleted account?

[stunfire]

It's the same username I have now.
I tried logging in and the password didn't work.
I thought maybe I did forget the password, so I tried to recover it but there my email was not registered to an account.
then I did the registration again and found out that my username was available and email i had used previously was available to use.
This was strange because I still have the confirmation email the first time I signed up.

What I usually do with my account is to keep track of series that I like. Maybe I need to post more often as well?

I don't see anything in the logs where an account was deleted. Your IP also only runs to this account, and no posts were made from that IP. It might not mean much if you're on DSL though.

I don't know what happened to you, but from all that I can see, your account never existed before today.

If you want, you can forward the original email that you signed up on to me and I can take a look to see if the email reveals anything. You can email me at: trebor at batoto.com

[stunfire]

Yeah, I am on dsl lol

I'll forward you the e-mail, maybe something will turn up.
if not then that's okay, not a big problem.

Thanks for the response

That's just the validation email. You need to validate your account within 7 days, or else your account is automatically purged from the system. I'm betting that you didn't actually read that email. If you didn't read it, then you wouldn't have verified your account. If that's the case, you would have automatically been purged out of the system. It has nothing to do with post counts or an evil conspiracy to delete your account. You never *made* your account in the first place.

[stunfire]

oh then i guess that's probably it since it was a new account.
Thanks for clearing that up lol.

[Trebor]

No, it's not because your account was new. It was because you never validated the account by clicking the link in the email.

[Grumpy]

Well, it's not a problem we can solve. Just make a new one and validate this time...
and check the spam box.

If you still can't get your mail for some reason, post in this forum (support) so we can validate you manually.
