why does so many on SL call themselves “***”

Question

many people on SoloLearn have their name changed to”***”.
What does this mean? Is it a trend or a bug?

Answer 1

Galaxy-Coding from what I can gather, that means the user was either deactivated or deleted. Likely upon the user's request.

It is possible some people intentionally set their name to that but that doesn't seem to be the case for all instances.

You should be able to tell the difference if the user appears as blocked or not.

Answer 2

that means they have deleted their account, sometime they might have changed their names..

Answer 3

Maybe they are unsaved unsaved unsaved users.

Answer 4

Not everybody. I don't call myself that.
