Members Returning - Linux™ - Aug 10, 2017
Let's say a person requested an account closure, or was closed for inactivity years ago. Are they allowed to make a new account if they return? I'm going to college soon, and the field I'll be going into wouldn't look kindly at me being a part of communities like this. 🤝

If they get closed for inactivity you can come back on a new account. Pretty sure you're just not allowed to:
Have multiple open accounts
Return if you've been banned for breaking rules

Well, hopefully you don't link your personal life to your HF account.

Just ask the staff for a 4 year vacation ban.

I doubt you can get opened again if you requested closure. Being closed for inactivity might be possible if you message a staff member, I know you can make temp accounts to request appeals so that might apply as well?
Not entirely sure so dont quote me on this.

Pretty sure since you're uber you have 0 chance of getting closed for inactivity

If you requested closure, odds are the account is done permanently.
Try using the form, Omni can I believe reopen, but he basically never does.

....
Wouldn't they look kindly at you for being in a security forum? Where you can learn and share things? Alright.
Take a vacban and return later.

I believe accounts that were previously closed for inactivity still are though.

Once you've requested closure, you cannot rejoin under any circumstances.
