what is "nuking an account"?
Answered above. In addition, nuked accounts get all their posts deleted, so they effectively become Brand New in the process.
- how does work "Total time logged in
It represents the amount of time the profile has been logged in. It does not seem like a very relevant factor to consider, and there is quite a blur as to the exact calculation procedure. Presumably it should count the time the session is active, although some accounts seem to have boosted that number artificially, perhaps by loggin-in multiple bot accounts 24/7 (some of those figure in the forum
stats as those most time online.
- what is "autoban"?
You will find the autoban term used in the
Modlog, representing banned users by mods.
So... this user claims to have been given a reason:
I only changed the message on autobans. ("Autoban" = lingo indicating a type of ban. They're usually not actually automatic.) <

- why is the custom in Meta section to close the topics?
People do not really make a habit of locking topics to prevent additional spam trailing posts. Perhaps Meta does that a bit more due to the fact that the people that roam there more aware of this, but even so. I doubt that a generalized habit of locking topics would really lead to less spam. Probably to more topics being opened.
-is it possible to unfollow a thread where you posted a reply? If yes, how?
Yes. You need to Edit your
watchlist.
- maybe it would be helpful to have more characters available for the topics titles, as sometimes is hard to fit in the actual space with what you want to write as a title <

I doubt that it will happen. I find that happening to me, more so if the OP is in Spanish than in English. Rephrasing it a bit normally does de thick, performing some synthesizing.
