Re: Why was my account deleted? (Zombification References)

Seems the account has been deleted. Any idea why?

Don't panic, I doubt you did anything wrong.

Though I'm an ignoramus of Perl Monk's infamous zombification process, Super Search found some relevant references, listed below.

I'm pretty sure jdporter aka erzuuli will be able to resurrect your account in time for your 20 year PM anniversary! :-)

Even tho I didn't meet the criteria, I probably got zombified. I had logins, but I doubt I ever posted. Whatever. The site is so incredibly slow these days.

• Did you at least vote? °
• Do you get an email if you try creating an account for another name? ¹

Look many thousands have been zombified over the years, and many accounts have been created automatically by spammers.

You're the first I remember complaining in the 16 years I'm here.

So please don't take it personally, and give the gods some slack to fix it.

°) If not I'm curious to know, why you even need an account for...

¹) As I said domains like Gmail are problematic these days.

Did you ever post any write-ups before?

Experience Point References and Pranks notes that Spooty and khayos appear today on Saints in our Book despite never having made a Perl Monks post.

Given these two monks became saints by voting a lot -- yet were not zombified for never posting -- it seems logical to suspect that Ruby never posted and never (or hardly ever) voted.
