The ability to see the username of a deleted person at the time they deleted their account

Zacatero
So a long time ago I was in a Group DM with 2 other people, and recently one of the guys left, bumping it back up to the top of my list. And neither of us know who the 3rd guy was, because all it says is "Deleted User a63c0930". I think it would be beneficial to be able to see the last username of somebody before they deleted their account (or got their account deleted) so you know who the random person is from your DM list.

    The idea itself is pretty good, but there is one thing. But there are people that just completely want everything of them that is on the internet to be gone. In the EU there is even a law that every user has the right to completely remove their account including every bit of information about them.

    Once someone is deleted discord has to respect that all data that could link to that person is to be removed so they kinda have to make it anonymized

    Maybe only for friends then? You should at least be able to know who was there once upon a time?

    This also pops up when someone gets a ban as well not just manually deleted discords I wish they would display who got ban I had many friends that had been ban not knowing who some of them were really good friends and sense they got deleted ill never get to talk to them again.

    Exactly. Your right. It’s sad when people’s account gets deleted or they deleted it by themselves. Like imagine you got reported for no reason or you deleted it by yourself. Like what if you had nitro and you spent so much on it. And it’s also sad cause then you/your friend can’t access you or their account anymore! Like can discord just do “Ukiae [Disabled User]”? With their pfp still on? Instead of “Deleted User” (random string)?#0000.... That would be much better so you know who you were chatting with. And then they take it off when they changed their mind or they appealed. Loosing a discord account is worse than not being able to talk to a friend.

    The its the law argument is invalid regardless of where in  the world you are. It was a conversation exchanged between 2 or more people, and those people have as much legal right to be able to keep the information that was exchanged including the name of the user.
    Removing it means discord is literally the best app to make death threats to people, and harass the living **** out of them.
    Which is actually illegal.

    @wat Pretty sure only a rocket scientist can figure out how to make a second fake account to try and add you so they can keep harassing you, right?

    i happen to have a restraining order against my ex

    i run a multitude of discords as I am leader of many clans/guilds across many platforms

     

    my ex uses discord like its his iPhone, every couple of days he adds me on a fake account and proceeds to attempt to troll me, and ends up blocked 

    Try explaining to police ‘deleted user’ is someone you actually know 

     

    think before speaking
