Also, as a side note, by taking a look at the 78 topics you listed
here, I noticed that within the ones not deleted his name appears now as "R20231030" and the rank is guest. So this guest got 10 merits from theymos for writing "34a3".
The "Guest" was added after theymos restored the deleted topics. I assume the Merits are still counted on Ratimov's account.
