Title: Disable Account in the Forum
Post by: Cathompson25 on May 25, 2015, 09:22:32 PM
Hi, I want to delete my account in the forum. The option to do that is not available in my profile. How would I accomplish this task? Thank you for the help.

It's not possible as far as I know . If you don't want to use the forum anymore you simply don't post . There isn't an option to disable accounts or delete them .

Delete all the info in your profile. Then change your password to a bunch of random characters and forget about it.

Accounts can't be deleted. If you want to in effect delete your account, delete your posts, change your email and password to something incredibly secure.

I have an admin account here now, PM me your desired username and I will change it for you.

Funny, admins can't delete accounts either (not even their own)

You can't change your name and I guess MtGox Support is playing around with you , you can change if you are Staff member or VIP or Donator as far as I know .

Of course they can :o Can't they simply connect to the Database (Probably only Theymos can do that) and use a simple query using UID or Username or whatever to get the account deleted , SQL isn't that hard  ???

It is hard when there is no access.  I highly doubt most have database credentials.  That is not something you want to give away lightly.  Especially if were talking an account with access to delete information.  Very very few I think would ever be given access to db.

I don't see this forum adding the delete future.

Afaik, only theymos has the power to change a username, but he rarely does it because there is no need. If you really want to change your username  so bad, you can donate 50btc and be a donator, and choose username you desire. ;)

I can understand why someone would want to delete their account and in some cases they may really need to for whatever reason, but if it was allowed it could easily be abused so it will probably cause more problems than its worth.

Never trust anything from GOX.

Especially not a hacked account that suspiciously gets reanimated after the hack  ;D
