My previous account was deleted automatically. And on log in, a new account is created. And on my previous account user398935 is showing in place of a name.

What's wrong with my account?

How do I get my account back?

And I noticed one thing my new account shows comments, upvotes, downvotes and reputation of my old account.

  • This is not the case. I am registered user and my account deleted automatically.

  • Sorry, yes, I misunderstood the question at first. More relevantly then: accounts are never deleted automatically. Do you recall receiving an email message related to your previous account?

  • Can I know the reason of downvoting?

  • Maybe because most of us cannot help and only SE can look into deeper account issues.

  • @Seven: Actually, user profiles are deleted automatically. They need to have had very little activity and been idle for quite some time, however. (source)

  • On what site? Not really giving us enough information here. Links to the old profile/new profile pages?

  • @ale Thanks, that's a corner case I wasn't aware of!

  • Re the edit: this account you're posting with doesn't show any comments, upvotes, downvotes, or reputation on any site. Do you perhaps have more than one account?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not relevant anymore, since the account on that site and here have been deleted.

The previous account on math.se was deleted by a moderator - the reason given was that it was a sock puppet for a different account.

That other account has been suspended for voting irregularities.
