Re: The anonymous user/account

Those posts are related to accounts that have been "deleted" in the past, whereby deletion caused the accounts related information to be anonymized if the way shown in the captured image. The display does not correspond to a single account, but rather more a bunch of accounts have been historically anonymized in the said way. You cant therefore, as far as Im aware, tell one from another (they are tied to userId "0").

<...>Some of those profiles have posts associated to them, and apparently, the way they are managed was by tying (don't know it it is physical or logical) them to a "Guest" profile under the generic username "Anonymous" (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.msg208900#msg208900 for example), although some still preserved a sort of username (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67541.msg785785#msg785785).

Theres this to go by:

Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact.

As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.

Thank you boss for taking your time to explain what this is, I really find the explaination quite helpful.
