RE: user rated by the guest......
Wow, two pages for a question which was answered in the 2nd post.

It is because, as Shawn said, the user got deleted.

It's not how the forum was coded, it's how WDZ's reputation system was coded in that it assumes that if no matching user id is found in the users table then the reputation was left by a "Guest".

It wasn't necessary to drag this thread over two pages..

Well, what should it be? "Deleted Member"? It can't be the username if the user doesn't exist.

Have it say "Deleted Member".  Or something cooler besides "Deleted". 

By the way, Why did you even delete Hobbes account?

he didn't, he deleted Hobbes' old account "DureX".

And I think "Removed User" sounds good. *-)

Member Removed sounds better than Member Deleted IMO

Why delete it.  Just because the person isn't a member of the forums anymore doesn't mean that the rating s/he gave shouldn't count.

deleting it is not right because lots of people leave the forum and dont have there votes deleted and so why should this persons vote be deleted.... the point can still be valid

But then what if the user had that account deleted after signing up with another account? they're allowed to give 2 rep votes to one person?
