In the Social section here, if a profile says SW-User and just and "X" for the profile picture, is the profile gone now?

Sometimes they're just on temporary leave from SW. The X can come and go as they need breaks.
I have a number of friends who do this regularly.

After a specified period, the account will autodelete if a member does not reactivate.

Sometimes they come back..

I think they’re either gone or taking time off from SW?

Programming no supported

Yes it’s gone. The user has left the building.

Yes, they are permanently gone. They don't exist.

If the name is that, then yeah the account is deleted.
