There should be a button that you press and your account and all posts get wiped.
You are talking to a person who's mistake was to leave his identity open. They took the chance and used it so badly that his family who had nothing to do with this forum was insulted by those members - just because he did something in the past which some of the members did not like it at all. The person is me, by the way. Don't you think I would like that feature more than anyone!
Sometimes I wish to leave the forum, sometimes I wish to resign from this account and create an alt to start over then again I find there are some members who really respect this account and show their loves. It's not that easy to leave a community when you get involved too much.
However this may be used by scammers to leave when they get caught, but nowadays with the internet archive taking snapshots and people quickly using archive.is to collect anything dodgy, it wouldn't really be that useful for scammers, but a normal person that just wants to leave could probably benefit from it.
This point is valid.
right to be forgotten is a bad thing
I never said it bad by the way. My emphasis was that theymos will not bother to delete an account at all, although it's only one click away for him. Technically few clicks...
- Go to the members page
- Search the member using the username
- Select the member
- Hit the delete button
- Confirm the delete account
Everything get's wiped out, I guess?
