Title: Guests?
Post by: fantazero on December 01, 2010, 07:50:09 PM
Feel free to delete this if its been covered

But why are some people "guests" and not show up as regular members?

Because, in order to post, you have to create an account, but they've since deleted/cancelled their accounts?

Sorry; I tend to render my written words in casual-speech patterns. Not actually asking you, no.

It's required that I have at least a handful of redeeming qualities. For form's sake, y'know.

Oh I agree and I think I even saw one of them. Bloody rare as they are I don't expect to see one again.

That's for the best. Keep your expectations low and you'll never be disappointed.

I don't get why some of aine's posts are listed as guest (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,11734.msg772851.html#msg772851), and other times (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,22327.msg974904.html#msg974904), she has a profile.

I'm guessing she somehow/somewhy reset her account but I'm not sure.

Er, I still would like to have an answer to Serack's question.
Title: Re: Guests?
Post by: Fyrchick on December 06, 2010, 05:11:16 AM
Er, I still would like to have an answer to Serack's question.

There are a few answers:

1) The person posted as a guest and never had an account;
2) The person had an account and deleted it, thus leaving their posts for posterity in a new, anonymous status;
3) The person HAD an account, deleted it, then opened a new account under a new user name and then changed the nickname to their OLD username, thus making it appear that they had come back from the dead when in truth they have not.

The most common answer is #2.
If I missed anything then please add on!


Hope that helps!
