Caballed players, and high ranking members of thieves guilds. Have the inner, or the guildmaster, announce that "so and so lost their nerve, and has gone into hiding." The only thing I see with this though, is it would make the person even less likely to come back. The anti-rage delete code is supposed to make people be able to go back and fix things they did when they were mad or upset. Adding everyone's general knowledge of what happened to it, and potential ic consequences, is less than encouraging re-activation. That said, I think if someone posts a delete thread on here, there should be a forced delete, without chance of re-activation.
