I have been exchanging private messages with another member. The last one I received was only yesterday, together with access to a photo album. She never gave any indication that she was planning to give up her membership. Indeed she was very keen to carry on writing to each other. She has posted a number of stories all of which have been well received. The last one was published two days ago. Yet I have just checked out the site and her account no longer exists and all her stories are gone. And of course I am unable to contact her via PMs.
What has happened ? Are there reasons why a person could have their membership revoked ? I realise that she may have her own reasons for leaving so suddenly. But it seems so odd that I wonder if there were other reasons.
Are the site administrators able to shed any light on this ? I can send you her profile name privately if you are able to help. Are you able to help me get in touch with her by giving me the email address she registered with ? Or is that unethical? Any info you can give me would be appreciated.
People leave for all sorts of reasons. Some are kicked off by admins for repeatedly breaching site rules or for plagiarism that comes to light, others just up-sticks over disagreements in the forum or story comments or, well, an infinite number of personal reasons. Some of our best authors sometimes just disappear overnight taking all the hard writing work and wonderful story comments with them.
The site owner would not be able to supply contact details as that's a breach of confidentiality, in case the user deleted for personal reasons. Besides that, as far as I know when an author deletes, all their data disappears, email address included.

Users leave unexpectedly.
No to getting email address. If user didn't give you outside contact, then why would you think the Mods would give that info. to you?
Plus, you didn't indicate users handle.
Enjoy the users why they exist on the site.
And, Mods are very chill, they just don't*¹ delete users account w/out needing too.
