It’s like flipping a switch in the DB. Delete the date stamp for when the user come back, flip the switch that says they are soft deleted and if user has old password then it should be ok.
I’d need to to see the DB structure and some demo code to say exactly what is needed.
He might even have an over rude function built in the admin panel.
I still question the anon posts are really anon statement. If they were then how do we get notifications from anon. Sure user ID maybe encrypted but you can use that 57:!37:!3 encryption to see the matching one. A pain but doable.
I need to get on github and really look at the old code again.
It’s an open secret that unmasking anon is possible in a painful way, but doable by admin. If I’m not mistaken, the idea was to make it obscure and difficult enough on a case by case basis to deter themselves even if tempted.

This is my understanding, but I also recall putts saying it was simply not going to happen anymore. i.e. If you delete, he’s not going to manually reincorporate you ever again.

It’s not all that difficult probably.

Shekels speak louder than words. So I’m on a wait and see to as what Putt will do.

It's all about the benjamins.

Putts is busy working on new Voat and staying the fuck out of any drama
