I recently tried to check on the profile of "Lady Anna" (formerly known as "Messy Lady", a great but sadly retired model from about 2013/14) and found that it's showing as "Profile Removed". A shame to see that, as even though I know she hasn't done a new film or even posted for about three years now, I hoped that as long as she kept a profile going and occasionally logged in, which she used to do, then she might make a comeback...ah well.

However, I've never understood if there's a difference between having a profile deleted or removed. Is one due to the user cancelling it and the other an admin? Furthermore, is there a moral significance, ie a removed profile is the user leaving UMD under their own steam for whatever reason, but deleted means they've done something wrong and MM kicked them off?

Or am I confusing myself by thinking they're separate when actually they're just different words for the same thing?

Just curious, that's all.
