The Mystery of DeletedUser_613592

Over the last few weeks people have taken notice of a strange, yet familiar, player on leaderboards. Their profile is inaccessible, but their plays can be watched, some of which are #1s from multiple years ago. Could this be a bug within leaderboards or maybe the return of a former top player?

"imagine losing your #1 to DeletedUser_613592" this is so trolling and badass

osu's staff doing gods work by preserving scores sheesh

[@oke3082]

By which you mean trying to circumvent the law that is there for people wanting to be forgotten? How is that gods work?

[@zeldaxrd3039]

​@@oke3082 How was he trying to be forgotten lol. The whole reason Adamqs deleted his account was because he got addicted to the game.

​@@oke3082 where tf did you get that conclusion? it's not that deep, he deleted his account to force himself to stop playing because he was addicted, there's no "wanting to be forgotten" bullshit here lol

Adamqs is cooking again.

[@gyumiii]

ive seen rumours that he has an active multi with a score on the old keelhauled

[@Ugetora]

@@gyumiii who knows, it may be true or perhaps just a rumor, time will tell

[@Aya_f]

I don't know about Adamqs that much, but I always want to watch his replay so I'm gonna watch his replay quick.

[@5ythical]

"preseving history" 🙏

[@xd3athclawx554]

I just don't understand why people would want to perma delete their account, uninstalling the game sure, but the account is something you can never recreated if it is deleted.

[@sublime_tv]

Maybe some people have a serious addiction and want to strip everything from the game. I can see a few different reasons.

[@Puzze]

i was confused when i saw some player name deleted_user on the leader boards but now i know why

[@pizzafromnothing]

Really, I can't believe that such an incredible player as Adamqs is back

[@TheMikoz]

xdd

[@Abdicator]

Not only unique, he's also outstaning too

[@red-vg2ds]

lmao i watched the Adamqs video like 2 days ago, what a coincidence

[@Toriichii]

I legit remember Adamqs going into a low rank lobby I was in all the way in the first few days of october 2019. Can't believe I was able to be in a lobby with him in his last week lmao

[@Mornis457]

earful of ice cream isn't it

[@ItsZenith-]

he cooked once and shall cook once more

[@redlava727]

He is among us

weird how while i was celebrating my birthday this happend

[@a-linn]

dude its so funny this happens now. i was just thinking about him recently

[@Mr_ButterKatze]

I knew it...

[@roundedosu]

this method of quitting the game is very irresponsible and i, for one, would never use it under any circumstance

[@roundedosu]

you see this comment is funny because i did use this method of quitting the game

Nice clickbait

[@MeiAIDᲽ]

does anyone know if adamqs or any other player who deletes their account could ever make a new account again? even if multiaccounting is against osu rules and that you can't log into your deleted account, i think there should be an exception possibly

[@ridorie]

they can't, but I think an exception should be made for that sort of thing tbh

[@asdqwe4123]

If you ask to the staff maybe you could play again

[@exileweirdo]

@@ridorie didnt shigitora get that exception or was it just an unban?

Yes its possible to recover your account , there a player named Scorpionek in ctb who deleted his osu account and only in the beginning of 2023, he asked the staff to recover the account, he keep all his score but lose all of his stats

[@Softer64]

As a fun fact, I've seen the [Deleted User] score issue happen multiple times in other modes some time ago (like on late 2022), on osu!mania for example if you look on certain maps like "Koi Kou Enishi (Game Ver.)" on the top difficulty (I was practicing 7K and I stumbled upon the deleted user score), you might see that there's a deleted user in the leaderboards, just like Adamqs is now on the leaderboards again as a deleted user. Very cool to know that more players are getting their replays back.

[@Doge-pk6hv]

but isn’t their scores a part of their data? If these scores still remain in the database, does that mean that osu! did not wipe any every trace of a person’s activity under EU law?

[@Kaesi_cacy]

i think its more like personal data

[@tarragon112]

i think they only had to wipe the personal data which scores probably dont fall under

[@Nekomosh004]

look up what's personal data means under the EU law.
scores are not part of their personal data, thus, its not something required to be deleted.

[@miyu_osu]

Scorpionek is deleted account too, but his account got reinstated

[@sublime_tv]

I was thinking of who this specific user was. I'll probably get hate for this comment, but I disagree that keeping scores is the right move. People can still try to locate the player if they're as well known top player such as Adamqs if they knew what their scores were. Plus, losing your #1 to someone who quit and who had their account deleted sounds pretty demoralizing.

ngl id be honoured to be sniped by adamqs
