So Semblance has deleted his account. If he decides to come back, will all his posts be restored? Because he said a lot of important things that we now have no records of.
Speaking of which, we now have several boards with no moderators. If a spammer attacks now, nobody could delete their work. Who should be his replacement?

As an administrator, I have moderation and deletion powers across all boards, including those that Semblance was a moderator of.
I am not sure why all of Semblance's posts are gone along with his account, as I didn't think proboards did that- the member would have to delete all their posts individually alongside it.
I have reached out to Semblance on Instagram to check in on how he was doing. I should note his account now only has 1 following and 1 follower, but I've requested again, and I'll update if I hear from him. Hope he is doing okay.

Note: I have also moved this thread from MModeration to AAnnouncements for the visibility of the rest of the board.

Looking at the security log it seems he deleted every single post of his manually :/

he has been removing friends on various platforms for a few months now, i believe he wants to remain private.

Looking at the security log it seems he deleted every single post of his manually :/ How much trouble he had just because of that. I believe Dante's departure from Dark Avenue during one of the Awards led to some sort of dramatic destructive motivating effect of virtual personalities. Certainly that was very dramatic, and very impactful for our history, and possibly irreparable. The amount of content he produced in the time he was here was very large and the quality as well. And I like him a lot. I hope he is really well.

The difference is that Dante didn't nuke everything he ever said. Now all our important repositories of information about upcoming Snicket works are incomplete.

Didn't know that he had been deleting various accounts. He talked a lot about how meaningless life was but I always assumed he was playing a character. It could be that he just wants some privacy but part of me wonders if we should have the suicide hotline on call.

What would we say? "So, there's this guy. No, I don't know his name or where he lives. Anyway, he deleted an online account so I think he's going to kill himself." They'd laugh.
Besides, it's probably just another attempt to imitate Dante.

deleting one's account for not much reason is not unprecedented on 667. fredy did that once because he wanted to curb his online time, iirc.
but the fact that semb deleted all his posts manually is crazy. i'm a bit concerned for him.

I actually got scared for a second and had to look up when Kurt cobain died to make sure it wasn’t may 13 🤦♂️ I would say that I can respect the account-deletion, while the posts-deletion is really annoying. But I withhold judgement until somebody confirms that he’s OK.

He's erasing all his digital tracks. It's not just here.

Bar reaching out on other platforms (which a few of us have done on Instagram and Tumblr) there isn't much else we can do really. There's also no way for me to retrieve deleted posts.
I've put a couple of you from the existing moderator team on his boards in the meantime.
