Personally, I don't see the significance of this subject, why do abnormal listings in the member roster matter? In fact, as pointed out, this OP's "serious" need to know is borderline suspicious as it comes across as trolling.

Though scrolling through here, something did catch my curiosity.

Okay... then nothing's unusual at all about the second two. "hkseonw5" was probably banned before the account had a chance to be verified because it's an obvious spam account. The first one might've made 10 spam posts which were deleted, and then the post count was edited to zero. Doesn't really matter, either way.

How can an account which hasn't posted be an "obvious spam account"? That seems judgemental.

I said that it was a serious question, as in, "This isn't a joke.", not as in "I urgently need to know this.".

the name is seemingly random characters, except there is probably a pattern. pattern can probably be found by looking at other spam accounts. i seem to remember spam bots in diablo 2 having seemingly random characters in their names, but the name of the character/ the name of the account always matched, and the second/last characters were always numbers, or something like that.

Not that it's any of my business but I'm personally less curious as to why this happens than I am curious as to why the OP is so interested in this in the first place? Counting through a few hundred user IDs isn't a normal everyday pasttime. o.o

Not to mention the topic that you started around the time you joined about 'worst troll on the forum' or something like that. No offence but that strikes me as a little weird, even suspicious =/

I was thinking along the same lines, but my troll detector is prone to false positives.

I like finding things that are beneath the surface.

Then don't quote. You don't get to bend the rules just because they're inconvenient to you and then make me fix it for you.

The first two profiles are in the new members group, as they should be if they have no posts. The third link is a bad request.

This is how it is for me:

The first one is a regular member.
The second one is banned.
The third one is a bad request.

I have no idea. If you could show me an example I might be able to figure it out.

Please do not double post next time. Just copy and paste the previous post. You don't have to memorize anything.

I can't copy and paste on my Xbox 360.

Here are 3 different examples:

As an example, my account is number 6170, which should mean that I was the 6170th registered user.

i looked at the homepage and it appears that's not how it works, as there are only 5,817 registered users. unless there are really over 200 unverified accounts on here. on the other hand i'm not sure how the numbers would work.

That's because of all of the unused numbers.

I'm making a double post, because the only other option is to memorise your post, which is far too difficult. Please merge the posts, and then swap them around.

If the accounts are unverified, then why do most of them have "Member" as their title?

P.S. I sent you a private message about something which is unrelated to this discussion a while ago. Please could you respond to it?

Mod edit: You still should not double post. Copying and pasting is not "difficult."
