Strikethrough in Usernames: Meaning Explained

When boulderhead moved back to the jungle, he requested that his account be made inactive.

Thanks for all the information, I just wanted to make sure I was assuming correctly.

As long as the line remains BENEATH your name, you're momentarily safe, though!

The momentairly part just makes that statement hillarious. no sarcasm intended.
