[GP] Guybrush Threepwood 626 Posted April 25, 2019 Forum accounts can't be deleted by users, in fact no forum generally has that ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't need to draw out a list of OTHER places that let you control your own account and data. I am only concerned with this one at the moment. If you don't have the information I need then I will simply wait on an "better" / official reply (if those are even a thing on here). If you want to view that is a victory in an internet argument feel free to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best you can do is hit the report button on your post and ask for the account to be deleted by the admin if they do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll also drop the report. Thanks. To put more crying on record, every time I deal with anything associated with this game, it's a hassle. It's left a rather bitter taste.

Coggage 239 Posted April 25, 2019 Why even bother? I've been on forums since pre-Internet days (Mid-80's using Prestel Gold and an 800 bud dial-up modem, lol) and I just abandon them when I am done with them. I must have a good few hundred defunct forums by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BeeDup Posted April 25, 2019 You know, let me go ahead an state this to be clear on the matter: I don't care about you fan-bois. You go on an defend whoever and whatever you want. I'm interested in relevant information or an official statement on the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savra 8 Posted April 25, 2019 I dont knew any board where you cant delete your account by yourself. Its irrelevant why he wanted to delete his account and he is right. Germany/EU have laws for this and even big non EU Companies like Google respects them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What person would be stupid enough to leave hard information scattered on forums? Not me, that's for sure. I don't fill profiles out, I use a "burner" email address when I join and not one shred of actual information about me is given to anyone. Wanting to delete "information" when you quit a forum is way, way too late in the day for anyone daft enough to scatter it hither and yon - once information is out in the wild it's out there for good. Don't hand out information in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
