anonymous-user - What is going on here?

[Megaflow]

I have just been reading this thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

There are a lot of posts by somebody called Anonymous-User with 23 posts, I haven't counted them, but most of those 23 posts must be in the same thread. Yet when I click on their profile, it says they have no posts.

Also it doesn't say how long the person has been a member.

Not seen anything like it before, what is happening?

Looks like the member has chosen to be forgotten.

Hence all the posts made by him have been forgotten.

If someone quotes them, it does show what their name was. Reading a thread the other night and it was Breadvan.

Probably somebody who has chosen to use his right to have account removed and all personal info deleted this dosnt usually include posts made on most forums

The mysterious and untraceable anonymous-user makes many posts on PH but you won't find them in a search, I Ithink it's the ghost of techiedave, the guy who used to post about what was upcoming on bbc question time and also declare his undying love for Diane Abbott.
