Deleted Users

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I don't see it. What does it mean if a user (commenting or posting a pic/video is marked as “[deleted]“ instead of a name? Have they been booted from the site for some violation or did they just delete their own account? There seem to be a LOT of such users.

They deleted their own account. We almost never delete user accounts.

We do occasionally ban users, but that has no effect on what their username looks like.
