@JourneymanGeek Look like if they are deleted they are 'removed' (but the OP with the URL, or 10K users in a search can find them - as can privs of higher ups), and they are automatically deleted under certain circumstances meta.stackexchange.com/a/92006/282094 and meta.stackexchange.com/a/5222/282094 after 60 days. --- Removal from the individual site and the NP would occur at approximately the same time.
The checkbox to see them runs out after a certain period of time.
and the Network Profile lacks the checkbox present on individual sites.

@Rob I mean particularly from the inbox

@JourneymanGeek "Nor do you see inbox notifications for comments on them if you come back a few hours later.", so if "comment notifications" are deleted upon deletion of the post then it would be consistent to delete everything else as well. Source: meta.stackexchange.com/q/2645/282094 - See also:

Q: How do notifications on deleted posts work?

Madara's GhostGiven the following scenarios, what would happen? User Alice posts an answer. User Bob comments on the answer. User Charlie♦ comments on the answer and deletes it. User Alice checks her inbox a few hours later. What will Alice see? Also: User Alice posts an answer. User Bob comments on the ...

@Rob kinda mentioned that but I suspect that's caching and it was in the order of a few minutes when I tried I think
Literally my whole answer was me poking at things

Even JS's NP only has 5pages of comments displayable, while his SO account has 4165 pages - so the NP has a small limit while each individual site seems to contain everything that hasn't been deleted.

Can someone please update the screenshot in the answer to this FAQ so it shows the new name of the "community-specific" (formerly "off-topic") reason option?

@Mithical Looks like the user name is too long to fit in the right column so the whole bit got dropped in the left column. Worth a bug report? Do you have a link so I can try it in my browser?

Q: Alignment issue in the individual badge details page

ArulkumarThere is an alignment issue in the individual badge details page, when the characters in the user name is around 27 or more, it is not aligned correctly. The position of the "Awarded xxx" and user card is displayed below the question title. This happened for many of the badges page. For example...

bug design badges display-names
Just a classic and old design bug.
 
DavidPostill
DavidPostill
@MetaAndrewT. Hmm. Yes. OK. Your right. But I don't know which script :/ I don't have any running that explicitly target user name ... other than the pronoun helper and it's not that one.
I can see the correct name if I disable all 30 scripts I am running ...
 
Meta Andrew T.
Meta Andrew T.
Err... 30... probably something that's related to moderation to handle those users who like to change username... (I think something like this exists, but I'm not using it)
 
DavidPostill

@MetaAndrewT. OK. It's this - Reduce Clutter: github.com/samliew/SO-mod-userscripts/blob/master/…. We can blame samliew :)
 
Meta Andrew T.
Meta Andrew T.
I guess I'll blame him anyway for most of the userscripts ;p
 
DavidPostill
DavidPostill
In any case it is just obscuring an underlying issue so it's probably not actually a bug in his script :)

I literally run one moderation related script, and that's for MSE 😁

Your posts will be effectively dissociated from your account; your username will no longer show on them, but it will instead show your denormalized username (e.g. "user123456" where 123456 was the user ID of your account).

The user is clearly deleted, and yet they still retain their nickname, rather than their number.

Q: Inconsistent editing privileges

G. SmithHow come I have the ability to edit questions and answers without the edit being reviewed, but if someone else’s edit is pending review, my approval of it is insufficient? Is this a bug or a feature?

Did they delete their own account, yet retain other accounts (and thus their main Network Profile) and are still an active user; should they rejoin they reattach ?
 
DavidPostill
DavidPostill
3:17 PM
@Ollie That is a migrated question and the user does not have an account (yet) on the target site. Here is the user physics.meta.stackexchange.com/users/199630/g-smith
 
Aibobot
Aibobot
they don't have an account here
the post was migrated, and if they create an account here, the post will be associated

Hopefully for longer.
I volunteered (ran) twice, I did my part.
Now other people work for free, and take the complaints; I'm happy with Mod Tools on a few sites.

@Rob charcoal does posts, and I suspect that new stuff is cleared out fairly efficiently
SU had a few massive waves of specific topical spammers in the past
 
Rob
Rob
I've caught fewer than a dozen spams on MSE. I refresh the main page, see the post, read it, open the flagging dialogue, and almost everytime it disappears out from under me; I don't get to land a spam flag unless I can hit it in less than several seconds (often only a few seconds). Autoflagging is that fast on MSE.

For some reason this seems to have an orphan flag: data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/1261696/…

@Rob It had a spam flag that was cleared ...

@Rob It was also deleted and then undeleted ...
So something in that sequence left the orphan flag ...
 
Rob
Rob
Yes, I checked the edit history; it doesn't look like it was ever spam (or edited), someone just didn't like it and hammered it (and coincidentally it was also flagged, by someone).

gotta trust @DavidPostill there "D
he can actually see the full history of what happened

@Aibobot It was 2015 so I'm guessing @JourneymanGeek cannot remember what he did to the post (and he is the only person mentioned in the timeline other than community) :)
 
Aibobot
Aibobot
lol
lemme check
looking at the timeline, I probably flag-deleted the post, reviewed then decided I was in error :D

@Aibobot At least that's reversible, unlike deleting a user by mistake :)
