My theory is difficult to test but I want to believe that users unable to delete their accounts isn't from malicious intentions.

For those Phukers who have tried and failed at deleting their account; did you post or comment in disabled subverses?

My theory is that the deletion code can't run properly if you posted in subs that are now disabled.

Have no idea how a coder would fix that problem without reopening all the disabled subs.

I seem to have found at least two phuks who could delete and had posts in disabled subs so I don’t think my theory holds anymore.

My new theory is that my account is banned in an old and forgotten shitposting sub. I’m curious if that might be tripping up my account.

My account on voat was never used in any political subs, hate subs or any controversial subs. I’m pretty vanilla so I doubt I’m being “watched”.

I will test the sub ban theory with some new accounts later and see if it makes a difference. The fact that some accounts are deletable and some aren't is extremely odd though, it has to be caused by something like this.

It means that whatever process is actually going on when an account is deleted is unnecessarily complicated.

unnecessarily complicated That sounds like most of Putts work as of late.

I have messaged him about this issue but my chances of winning the lottery are better then hearing back from him.
