I've noticed that one user / account was removed. How can I see whether a user deletion was voluntary (i.e., requested by the user) or forced?

1You cannot. Why would you want to? Curiosity?– πάντα ῥεῖCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:32

@πάνταῥεῖ user* is correct, i.e. trying to understand the serial/targeted downvote detection mechanism.– Franck DernoncourtCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:33

2You have no right to this information.– Bryan KrauseCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:39

5Moderator's aren't allowed to share it, best you can hope for is for the deleted user to provide that information.– Kevin BCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:41

1@BryanKrause Why? Many websites/services display when a user gets banned.– Franck DernoncourtCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:42

4@Franck Deletion is not a "ban" in the way suspension is. Suspensions are displayed (but not promoted). Deletions are not.– Bryan KrauseCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:46

@BryanKrause ok. Many websites/services also display when a user gets terminated.– Franck DernoncourtCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 20:48

4@FranckDernoncourt - I hope Stack isn't going around terminating users... Their accounts, maybe.– Jon CusterCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 21:28

2I personally delete about a spammer or 2 every day. We don't really unilaterally delete accounts other than spammers or socks.– Journeyman Geek ModCommented Oct 14, 2020 at 23:58

2No. They won't. Both needs a mod to notice and manually do the deed. Account deletions and mergers are a bit too messy to fix if done in error to be automated I suspect– Journeyman Geek ModCommented Oct 15, 2020 at 0:32

1What good would come from this knowledge about this user’s profile be to the community? The profile deletion was handled the way it was handled for a reason. The moderator who took that action, and the rest of their moderator team, are aware of that reason. The proper action was taken.– RamhoundCommented Oct 15, 2020 at 7:00

2You are not privy to every moderator action against another user’s profile. When a user is suspended you are given a generic reason for the reason. It’s never been the policy to go into the details of every moderator action against another user.– RamhoundCommented Oct 15, 2020 at 7:05

1@Ramhound sounds like an answer and not a comment. Happy to upvote the answer.– Franck DernoncourtCommented Oct 15, 2020 at 7:06

AFAIK, you can't.
Obviously the moderator, or other user with some authority, who deleted the user can tell you...but I doubt that they're allowed to share that information. The best way to get that info would be to ask the deleted user, but since they'll no longer have an account, you'll have to get in touch with them another way.
