anonymous-user

[Doofus]

Every so often, I come across a post by "anonymous-user". They've been here 17 months, but there's no post count shown beneath their name.

What's that about?

Appears to be a valid username.

With no post count?

It may be that members who have chosen to have their accounts deleted show up as anonymous user. See here:

as well as a current member having anonymous user as their PH identity.

The first option may well be correct, thanks.

I'm not bothered about their username, just that they have no post count.

Can't you choose to hide your post count?

Don't ask me, I know nothing.

I've concluded that, as per the link above, we may have more than one 'anonymous-user' so the post count would be meaningless.
