How do I delete my account
      #1005100 - 23/08/12 08:27 PM
I've looked all over the "MyHome" are and cannot find anywhere to delete my account.

I guess it must be somewhere, everyone else on the web has a fairly easy way to remove an account so I suppose I must be missing something.

I know there is one because its a consumer right, isn't it?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Funny things, "rights" :-)

You certainly have the right to stop logging on to the forum. If you want one particular post from you removed, I think you have to ask an administrator and give a good reason. Un-ravelling all your past contributions from various threads, including parts of them that other people have quoted in THEIR replies, would be tricky. That's the trouble with the Internet - once it's out there, it's almost impossible to get it back!

As far as I know there isn't a user function in the current forum software to achieve this.

Please advise.




If you would like your user account deleted please send me or any forum administrator a PM stating your request, and I'll gladly see that it is done for you using the admin management facilitites. You have the right to request all data held about your forum login to be removed, but we'll need something in writing and identifiable.

Thanks Hugh. I'm not asking for posts to be deleted, just the user account. Will drop you a PM.

It's funny how both 'White Car Man' and 'OW' have deleted their accounts at the same time, and that Exhaulted Wombat replied to this (...as a way to draw attention to it so it would be addressed?)

I once asked...

Quote J.A.S.:

By the way, I'm pretty sure Exhaulted Wombat and White Car Man are the same person (the latter being the more 'common sense man' approach). Are you also the same human by any chance?




Quote OW:

"You're wrong actually, and I am neither of them. I can tell you though that WVM could teach us all a thing or two about art... there's some people on here who have been around the block a bit. You shouldn't be too quick to be right.




I don't understand why people need to have multiple aliases, but it's even weirder when they use them to back themselves up in a thread with a rather nasty edge to them too. Another of this person's aliases has tried to push my buttons recently but I just ignored it this time.

So, just for the record, you categorically deny you were trying to hide your secret identity by posting under the name: "Walted Exombat"??

Thanks, Columb'ow', yes j a s are the initials of josef a soterίou, which I initially used, but it is the same account, and I even quoted myself as "quote J.A.S" in the post above.

If there isn't already something in the forum rules about multiple ID's, there should be. It's just infantile & it devalues the serious posts of other users.

Plus, Mrs Mike has just made me suffer Johnny Depp in Secret Window, which proves just how dangerous multiple ID's can be

Could you all show some respect please... lappi oltermanni is a big cheese in Finland. However, I do think some of his posts should be taken with a pinch of, shall we say, salt.

I don't mind cheesy as long as it doesn't get creepy. (The reason I only used my initials in the beginning was (in the event of a dispute) to prevent some kind of bizarro vendetta ending with my head in a jar. []
