Can you delete your account and all posts with it?

This forum will not delete your account and posts in anyways. What you can do is create a very long password and invalid email and forget your account. Satoshi used to delete accounts but not anymore.

no

If you really want to delete your account the closest you can get is deleting any personal information that you may have on the account, your post history (if possible) and set your password to a random, strong password (https://strongpasswordgenerator.com/) that you couldn't guess.
I can't understand why someone with two posts would want to delete their account anyway, but so be it.

Currently no but I hope such a feature is soon added to forum or at least an option to de-activate account is added in new forum

I hope not.  Don't give scammers the chance to hide their tracks!

Accounts cannot and will not be deleted. As others have said, change your password to something that no hacker could ever get, make it so difficult that you forget it if you want. Make sure your security questions aren't set or are also set to something impossible to guess, delete your posts if you want (they can be recovered by admins) and your Bitcointalk presence is then gone. Unless there is reason for admins to restore your posts.

Thankfully no.If there were a account deletion option,hackers could have hacked and deleted many accounts and wipe out all the postings by that account.
If our accounts are hacked, we have a remedy to provide stacked address and request thymos to restore our account back to us but if there were option to delete account,hackers would delete them before we could claim them back
