Since "Mr. Osewa" isn't available to attend to your question, lemme assist hoping I don't get banned.

Now its common sense that if you choose to deactivate then its because you no longer need the account or you no longer want to be a member of NL.
And then come to think of it what would be the point in a temporary deactivation when you can remain off-NL for as long as you want and log-in back in any decade you choose if you still remember your account details(and of coz if the website is still.......). Thus like other websites(Yahoo, Google, etc) or even wt Communication companies you get to retain your account or registration number and visit or use it whenever(that could be referred to as temporary deactivation) or you simply walk out through one door and walk in through another. Get it?

I may have a couple of questions too since I have been directed to this thread from another but seeing that after an hour you didn't get an answer to yours, I think I'll keep mute for NOW!!!

Seun: @Lilimax: I understand your frustration, but pls read this thread from the beginning to find out why we implemented the feature.

Lilimax:

lol @ my frustration.

Have gone through the thread from the beginning but the only thing you talked about was deactivation button which was implemented.

Is it the same thing with the issue of 'By Nobody' in a thread?.
May be I'm not getting it right .

Virgin Finder:

Yes it is.

Lilimax:

Seun: Yep.

Kindly respond to this

Seun: We just want people to know the full story so that there will be no confusion about the matter.

Seun: Yep.

tchidi:

Seun mi, abeg where the deactivation button dey? Abi dem no de see am for mobile??

Not like I'm going anywhere oº°˚!! These babes will snatch you from me if I leave!! *side glance @ some babes*

centje: seun, how do i unfollow someone whose acc has been deactivated. there's no provision for such

Jbluv55:
That seems to happen automatically(a number of members I was following do not show up in my list any longer after they de-activated) unless you r talking abt topics/threads created by such a person(which you can just open one after the other and 'Un-Follow').

Jbluv55:
This thread as the name suggests, is "A Response to the Open Letter to Seun Osewa" which I believe has addressed the clamour for de-activation. De-activation feature has bin implemented and there are a number of pros and cons.
1 But I aint seen any thread for/addressing "complaints, suggestions & observations....etc" abt the aftermath of the de-activation thang.
2 Also, what I seem to hav noticed is that any thread opened by any member with reference to this de-activation and any ish concerning it is abruptly closed. Is there a perceived threat or is there any rule(s) against starting such threads?

And in Lilimax's voice :


*my own voice may sound too......*

psky:

Are you sure? Cause I still see the names of those deactivated in other people's list.

Bossforeva: Seun plz also Remember what i earlier complained about.
I said that each time i click on the most recent topic on frontpage, mean the topic at the top of the page, it takes me straight to the Auto Section. I have to go back again to reclick 4 me to arrive at the topic in question.

Seun: sorry. I asked for your ISP/network, mobile device, and browser.

pasqal09: If an account is deactivated, what happens the email used in opening the account, can it be used again?

Jbluv55:
¹Am 100% sure and I cud demonstrate that to you but am confused lately abt which instructions (mainly unstated) that I might be breaking if I do.

centje: ³you are right in a way...⁴but i think there're some errors.
For instance, my friend jackbauer, did deactivate his acc, however u can still see his acc among my followers

Seun: Initially, we did not remove followers from people who deactivated their accounts, but later we started doing that, so you are both right/wrong.
