How many times have you had an account deleted?

I'll link the the poll I put in General; I figured a notice here would probably get the attention of non-Generalites.

I'd find the results interesting.

Couldn't you just look in the mod logs in The Mod Centre? ;)

Silly poll. Mods can see who have voted, and put it in their database. Especially when the culprits tell/brag about their deletions.
Kat, you are evil. ;)

Um, they can do that without taking a poll, y'know... they keep records of who is deleted.

Yes, but it is a little more work to figure out whose current accounts match up with deleted ones.

Then again, some people are considered Delete-On-Sight, so I suppose it's not that difficult to run checks against previous deletions.

Yeah, but it's more fun to let YOU do the work instead of us.

(and FMs don't have access to those records, so Kat's request is for something she doesn't have instant personal access to.)

Only mildly wicked, dear, only mildly wicked.

Seriously, I'm not interested in who all got deleted and why -- it's pretty much that the implication in the thread that inspired mine was that "most people get deleted" and I wished to test whether my hypothesis that "most people have never been deleted for rulebreaking" was true -- in 32 glossy color photos with arrows and notes on the back telling what each one was.... ;)

. . . interesting tactic . . . There are yet many of us who avoid the wrath of mods and prefer to play nicely with others.

Precisely. And it appears (thus far) to be borne out in the poll, if people are being truthful.

is there anyway to get (unfairly) deleted nations back?

If the moderators find that the deletion was wrong, they will restore your nation; however, if you are rightfully deleted, they don't restore that nation. Rightfully deleted nations stay deleted.

If you mean thing, as in nation, then it takes 28 days to cease to exist; however, if you put your nation on vacation mode (which is an option in your settings), you have 60 days before your nation ceases to exist.

I think.... 6. But only due to inactivity. I've got this horrible habit of forgetting about my puppets.

Around 7 for inactivity.

:D

But when the judge walks in with a seeing eye dog, it will be a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothing you could do about it, and the judge issn't going to look at the 32 eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence or the pretty poll results.

;)

(somebody appreciated the reference. :) (but it was 27 glossy pictures!! :p ))

Only for inactivity, and even then, I revive most of them.
