G’Day all, I have noticed a lot of anon accounts and that they always seem to get the gold badges and lots of likes. They all seem to be inactive.

They’re inactive users or deactivated accounts.

I thought they were hackers or just bots because of the amount of accounts with the name anon at the start followed by lots of random numbers
Haha dont get too excited, it’s a very boring story!

Now I want to know
Lol
The users have either been banned, been inactive for a prolonged period or requested their account be closed. It’s as simple as that I am afraid :)

They tend to be users who have been inactive. However, Deer once told me in PM that some request to be anonymized.

They’ll have as many likes as their original account had. We anonymise accounts on request, so we have some anon accounts that belonged to quite prominent forum members.

I don’t want to be anonymous
No, I think it is a random number set

We have a button that automatically does it. It’ll remove all information from your public profile, but your posts will still be visible
