New Moderator Ability: Reactivate Closed Accounts
Dec. 20, 2007 at 6:57pm by davjs

Moderators can now reactivate closed accounts in the event that a member accidentally closes his or her account and wishes to reopen it before the 7 day waiting period is up.

i thought that livezilla was implemented because somebody (if i remember rightly, peeta or one of his accounts) had some fucked-up script or something close his account without him knowing what was happening....not because people closed their accounts with full knowledge of it and a day later wanted to come back.

these people all knew exactly what the fuck they were doing. they all knew that anything was possible to happen on the site after they left. they all typed in "I understand that I cannot undo this action (for 7 days)." how the fuck was it an accident on any of their parts?

this means even worse attention-whoring.

come on, the significance of closing an account has been diminished enough; are you really going to make it this much worse and just bend over to people like this?

Re-opening it for someone who went through this process is a complete joke. Furthermore, what's even more of a joke is hearing the persons plea to have this account re-opened.

"I'M ADDICTED! I MADE A MISTAKE! OPEN IT AGAIN! PLZ PLZ PLZ!"

leeway is good for all involved

why/how?

Personally I think it was a stupid feature and should never have been introduced.

It's basically down to moderator discretion.  If someone wants their account reinstated a day after, a mod can say no if they want, but the next mod can say yes if they want.

glad you guys have discussed it.

I agree with Sam that it's a silly feature that we didn't want/need, and still don't want/need.

Ditto as well, though I see the reason why David has given it to us. I really think we shouldn't be using it fr whenever a member decides to change their mind, as some of you guys even said- there's seriously no way it can be "accidentally" close as there's a whole damn process for it.
