Has someone been axed lately?
So, I came to 'Poly today, and looked at my Control Panel. And for the latest poster in the Civ3-Stories forum, it says there is one grdgrdgrd.... But, when I come into the forum itself, there is no trace of anyone by that name. So, I go back and click on the name to see the profile or something, and it says "The user has not registered for a profile..." or some such thing. So, this may be a stupid question, but: is this a glitch of some sort, or has someone named grdgrdgrd posted in the Civ3-Stories forum and then his account got deleted?

My DL alert sensor went into overdrive when I saw what he had done.
In all fairness, it has to be said that after he got deleted, he reregistered to apologize.
A polite DL

 I guess I still have a lot to learn about the art of DLing... Wasn't really that obvious to me he was a DL. The first thing that crossed my mind was: a bug in the system. Anyways, thanks for enlightening me.

Anyone new person immediately posting the same thread in multiple forums is, 99.99999% of the time a DL.

I didn't see him posting in multiple forums. I came after the account had been deleted. Hence my suspicion of a bug: the last poster in the forum doesn't really exist.

not necessarily.
some newbies post in multiple forums all the time. Because they aren't familiar with how Apolyton is set up, and dont' know where to post their thread. I see this in other forums as well.
And some newbies are just *******s, but that doesn't make them dl's.

Sometimes, when a post is deleted, the referance to the post on the forum front page remains. I know this, since I once tried to access a post in the GalCiv forum, that MtG had made. I got an error and then in looked in the actual forum - it wasn't there. He must have regretted the post and then deleted it.

This thread didn't have much hope, and it is still heading downhill.

Well, I asked a question. And it has been asnwered. I do not think there is reason to let the thread devolve into a spam-fest: surely it can be closed safely now.
