I did not know you could deactivate the account.
you can delete and get admin to undelete
AW Admin does not need to get involved if you reactivate your account within 30 days of deleting your account.
Whether they will still activate your account after 30 days..... I don't know.
ParisB is a good example. When all the shit hit the fan, last month she deleted her account, only to re-surface a few days later.
Even as a service seeker, I know of quite a few punters who regularly do this, i.e. delete their account, only activate their account (must be done within 30 days of previously deleting) when they need to send a PM or a booking. That way, their FB appears "dead"
to any nosey buggers.
