Just a question for y'all. I keep getting notified of a profile view from a grayface from Fiji. When I attempt to view the account it's like it's a dead link. It won't take me to the profile. Is this an admin, or just a spam account. Thanks in advance.

Me and at least one other person I know of had that happen about a month ago. Gray face from Fiji, about 5 or 6 days in a row. I missed seeing them logged in by about 20 minutes once.

I talked to the staff about it, and they said it’s probably someone signing in with a VPN. It wasn’t admins or a bot that they knew of. That’s what happens when you delete your account. So probably someone making and deleting a new account every day. Very weird though. Maybe some kind of data scraper. I felt kinda paranoid about it at the time, though, and then it stopped.

I've heard tales of this guy, but I've never seen them (knock on wood). As I understand it, they are infamous.

Yes I've seen this person in my notifications as well. Fiji's an interesting choice.

They could though just be concerned about being seen on this site, but it does feel a bit overboard deleting and remaking accounts everyday.

It really feels sinister but maybe isn’t. But it’s the internet, so it probably is somehow.

Just to bring this up again, cause it keeps happening, it would probably be less creepy if a person disappeared completely when they kill their account instead of leaving the ghosts behind in your feed. Just have the whole view/message/etc disappear. Or, even better, a post that says “UserNameXYZ” deleted their account. The way it’s done right now is the most unnerving option.

I have brought this up with hiccupx again, and have established that this is a bug. Everyone is getting this notification. So please do not worry.

However I do think when someone deletes their account, notifications should be removed. This is a little difficult as most things are removed from a deleted profile instantaneously, But the notifications or messages that are linked with other members accounts, are a little harder to remove. But this is something we want to improve.
