Title: How do I remove my account?
Post by: sedeki on January 12, 2021, 06:10:12 PM
I live in the EU, and I want to invoke GDPR articles so that my account is removed permanently.
How do I do that?

You can't remove or delete your account here by yourself. An admin can manually do so but I guess theymos isn't deleting anyone's account (at least, I have never seen). The maximum you can do is removing all the posts you have made and leave the account as it is.

Currently best option for you is just as @RapTarX suggest just delete your all posts and leave your account as it because now Theymos is not doing this all.

Is your account tied to your RL identity?  If not, then there is no reason to delete it.

The opinion of the admin about GDPR :

I intend to ignore all stupidity coming out of the EUSSR.

And I don't think he changed his mind :). So as others have said, the best solution is to delete your own posts.

Even if Admin would care about the GDPR (lol), you'd first need to prove you are "sedeki".

If there's a privacy-reason for it, Admin is probably willing to change your username.

You can't do that yourself.
An admin could if he wants to fulfill the wish... chances are not good.

Possibilities:
1) Change password, don't write it down, log out.
2) Break a rule and get your user banned.
3) Maybe you will get nuked which locks the user and deletes your posts.

Otherwise you can always do it yourself.

You can delete all your posts and you will not spend so much time because you made only 57 posts so far, but you don't have to worry about that if you didn't wrote your real name and other personal details.

In addition to deleting your posts, although they are never really deleted and archives already exists; you can also try getting your account 'locked' so no one else would access it. It's not possible to do this directly, but if you try to reset your password using the secret question option, your account would automatically be locked. It's different from getting outrightly banned as you can recover the account at a later time should you wish to return to the forum by proving you are the actual owner.
