Update

After nearly three years (mid ‘19 to ‘22; for reference, here’s my last answer on the platform, and this was my first one) of contributing to Stack Overflow, I made the decision to call it quits on my end due to an irresponsible action from one moderator and the equally headless and unappreciative discussions with Stack Exchange community support that followed for my inquiries on the matter.

Out of feelings stemmed from iniquity, I scheduled my account for deletion during the second week of May 2022. Within the time frame they impose for deletion request reviewing for accounts with a fairly high amount of reputation, I took screenshots of my answers mentioned in this page (click/tap the bullet points to unfold the spoiler-based images) as separate lasting evidence of my contributions, although one can find them normally on the platform, but under my default user ID (which is ‘user11422223’), as opposed to ‘Anirban166’, as was previously. (For correlation, here’s an answer that can be used to connect the dots as I have my laptop-username on the output screenshots, which is the same as my profile name on SO or other places where I have accounts at)
