A friend and I have been talking about our ChatGPT usage and apparently he used to screw with ChatGPT a lot, used to say the most heinous stuff (don’t worry he didn’t cross into illegal material territory or that sort of stuff) but still like did stuff that would generally be considered a severe violation on the platform. He reckons that not long after he then deleted his account and successfully returned with the exact same email address, phone number etc. I have a feeling he’s not telling the truth about it because surely OpenAI wouldn’t just let a user commit severe violations on their platform only to be able to just delete and return after it on the same identifiers, they seem too sophisticated to just allow that to happen. Especially when we take into account that one of the reasons the 30 day cooldown exists is for abuse monitoring, as well as the fact that they can retain data related to abuse after the 30 days, on top of them only allowing email and other identifier reuse if the account was fully deleted and the wasn’t associated with policy violations? Am I correct here or is this a genuine flaw in the system? Like surely they could easily just ban the identifiers.
If he deleted his account the email tied to that is locked up for 30 days. Can’t create a new one with that email until then.
If he deleted his account and said he created a new one with same information, email specifically, right away. Then no, he could not do that. After 30 days, yes.
5.6 is more careful and abuse checks are more strict. I doubt he will have the account long doing that with 5.6 very much. All history is tied to him even when creating new account from my understanding. For however long they keep that data for that account details like email, phone etc.
Don’t assume they can’t figure out who is using thier services or what you are doing with it.
Yeah he did wait the 30 days, however if they still track all abuse history even if he’s on a new account then that makes me wonder why his new account is still up. Where did you find that out from if you mind me asking? Just want to see myself
