"Deleted"

Whats up with the account "Deleted" showing up on the members list for the last few weeks? It is clearly not there but the user still shows on the top members list.

Tartan...under the refine search section, refine your search by pictures, select 'must have picture'. I dont know why the deleted folks are up there, I think it ends up being an amalgamation of all the deleted accounts, inc cols and Thillians I imagine....refining search by 'must have pictures' usually gives you the true representation.

[edit] I just realised that sounds patronising considering you clearly outrank me, please read it in a friendly and non-patronising manner.

with "Must have picture" as standard option this shouldn't be too much a hassle, but i think it's kind of irritating this users actually takes a rank in the list ;), so tartan_skirt for instance is listed as number 5 while in reality she would be number 4.

A dump of all previous deleted accounts seems most likely, but its interesting nonetheless. Would be funny to think that they may one day hold the top rank on the site.

(Don't worry, no offence was taken in my reading. ;) )

EDIT: And Bael, you should be number 5, for accuracies sake. And here I was thinking someone else had jumped up the ranks with some interesting reviews, tags and whatnot to look through. ;)

it's true that the "Deleted" user is a container of all deleted users, Tom mentioned this in a previous post. i would remove it for optic reasons alone from the list (it must show up in the groups so posts from deleted users still get shown). as tartan_skirt hinted, it wouldn't make a good impression to new users to see that so many users or "point heavy" users got deleted or canceled their accounts.

All the old pictures from deleted accounts get assigned to that one account.

Anyway I've now excluded it from the points calculations.
