Have any of you deleted your lush account then months later joined again?

It wasn't months, but days. I deleted an account because of a creeper. I joined back up and am staying blissfully anonymous!

This practice is strongly frowned upon by the site. Members who wish to erase their history can contact the site about changing their member name. Others who wish to not be seen for a period of time can have their accounts suspended for a time. If you have a number of stories already verified, this is even more a factor due to the fact that when you do return, all your stories will have to be re-verified, a long and difficult process that may never be done at all. Before you resort to deletion one should contact the site to be sure some other solution can be worked out.

I have zero respect for such a thing.
I can maybe understand if first time around 'you' were not honest about who 'you' are, then you realized that Lush is great community and you want to sort things out and become respectful member, but to delete your account 2, 3 or more times..please, find somewhere else to play, Lush obviously doesn't suit you. People who delete their accounts irritates me, specially if they are doing the same thing over and over again, specially if they are hanging out with the same crowd, posting in the same threads as before, having the same conversations..and it's obvious to most that that is the same person with new account..pathetic. Grow up and live with consequences of your choices and don't delete your account, but be responsible the first time around.
p.s. I was generalizing this, it is not directed to OP.

I am much more selective of who I friend because of it. And I did try to avoid the same forums I previously posted under. I haven't published any stories yet so that wasn't a problem for me.

I deactivated my account for a week or so because someone Google stalked me and found out my DJ stage name. Freaky!

Yes, I've been gone for about 5 or 6 months. However, I left because my real life was imploding and nothing at all to do with Lush except my lack of self control. I needed to focus on things in my real life and used Lush as a goal/reward when certain things were accomplished, then I thought I could sign back on. I'm not a serial account deleter, and my user name has remained the same. I'm not hiding who I am/was; I just needed to do what was right for me at that time.
If you haven't, you should read this award-winning story. Fine, fine, I only won a potato, but I'm sure you won't be able to peel your eyes away from it.

Doesn't sound that you took my words personally, that makes me happy. I have really close friend here who did the same thing as you did, I was away for months (outside life happened), but my 1. post was not about us. It was about people who cannot live without other people's approval (and when they don't get attention, whining part begins followed by deleted account), people who are trying to be perfect but never are, who are quitters and runners away from problems and deleting is easy way out. At least they think so, and they are doing it over and over again thinking 'next time!!'.. Quite pathetic to watch..

If I ever felt the need to be away from lush for awhile, I would either just not log on, or just deactivate my account (a very nice recent addition to the site). And the people I would most want to maintain contact with, I can reach by other means anyway. But no. I have never deleted my account and doubt that if I ever did, I would return.

Well I deleted my account before because I fell asleep and left my computer on. My BF found the page and my story and well he sorta went ballistic for a bit. We had a huge fight and stuff and...well....I left for a bit because he made me. Now I keep my Lushing low profile and I'm more careful about my computer. I love my mom, but I still sorta want to keep this part of my life private from her.

Welcome back, by the way. :) Glad you got things worked out to your satisfaction. I will say, it takes away needless confusion for all when returning members choose to use their original username. Plus, it's always a bummer when people who were previously your friends come back under new names and choose not to let you know.

That wouldn't really be an issue if you didn't self-identify as a DJ or post pics that are presumably trackable through tineye or google images. Just saying. Never assume that people won't take any free info and use it to find as much about others as possible.

Or you can take additional steps to protect yourself from snooping surveillance you aren't even thinking about. Something like this might even help you to protect yourself...from yourself sometimes
