The current two top questions at https://software.codidact.com/ ( https://software.codidact.com/q/279699 and https://software.codidact.com/q/278674) are marked as coming from luap42:

However, when clicking on them, they are actually by other authors. What is going on?

Oooops.

You have discovered my little secret superpower.

Just kidding of course. (Unfortunately)

I closed the first question upon some flags. On the second post, there was a spam answer, which I deleted. Closure and Deletion both count as activity for that display, which is the reason why I appear as having changed the posts most recently.

Sorry for the confusion, I'll use my invisibility cloak next time. :)

So you're saying this is by design? I find that a bit confusing since your name was nowhere to be found in the actual question pages.

Another argument in favor of changing "last activity" to something more specific -- answered, edited, closed, answer deleted... (There is a GH issue about this somewhere.)

luap42‭ So, I think it would be better if add status-bydesign tag in question, wouldn't it?

Closure is now part of the public history. Maybe deletion too. Maybe the answer could be updated to say that one simply needs to check the history of a Q&A.
