There’s a lot of accounts popping up and then being anonymised?

I think the anon is either banned or self deleted?
But yeah I’ve seen around 7 today

Whoever on the coral crew is handling it, that’s some fine work. Sucks that you have to work on Easter Sunday though.
Hopefully you’ve got a big stack of chocolate nearby

Hats off to @Feathers for most of the effort, but I’ve picked up a few remainders myself
The answer to the OP is yes
Please do not engage with them, as it just leaves CC and admins with more posts to sort through. Thanks

Well done Coral Crew for making the place nice for us users.

We’ve not deleted any profiles, nor could we. We can do some tidying up of posts and we’ve done more of that today than usual. I hope the reasons why are understood in this case

They’re probably deleting the accounts and resigning up using the same email etc etc
I’m sure I’ve seen a red delete button somewhere.
Just tried searching myself but can’t find it now, I’m probably getting confused with another site.

There had been requests to enable self deletion of accounts, as enabled in the Dozens instance and swmi-automated at the other place
That’s not happened yet as far as I can tell, and maybe it could be abused a bit then. Though that goes for pretty much everything it seems

We all know that there can be issues with flagging at times, but do please report any other such accounts if and when they pop up. I’m off away from my phone for a bit and Mike has fought the good fight long and hard today, so we might be a bit CC light for a bit. Keep it clean!

That’s what I saw too! That red button!
Is that on desktop? I can’t see it under the mobile view
I can’t either on my mobile but I’ve seen it in the past for sure.
I’ve switched to desktop view and didn’t have it there either. Maybe this is Hotel California for CC! Right, must away for now. Stay groovy
Mobile, looking at the source code for the button it’s got lots of reactions one of them allows new users: when you get over a certain posts/likes/comments or change your picture the button will vanish

Huh, I’m sure it’ll be easier to just enable it for everyone? This kinda allows people to troll more
Pretty sure the reason you can’t delete after you’ve got a certain number of posts is because of the amount of resource discourse requires to delete your posts.
Also as I understand it anonymization (I might have just made up a word) is preferred because it keeps the integrity of the threads in tact
