delete my account

If the reason for deleting your account is something related to your privacy then send a message to @Theymos, and if your reason is sufficient, your account will be deleted (all posts will be deleted and the topics you created will turn anonymous)

Forum moderators, admins can nuke accounts of spammers, scammers. That is a little bit similar to delete an account but at least user account still exists.

Admins can change an original username to a random username. I saw some cases like this with privacy issues like you mentioned.

Changing an account to Anonymous is very long in the past and I did not see any case recent years at least since 2017.

As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.

Usernames list from Loyce.club with does not exist for deleted accounts.

But i guess this will be not count in this case for an Account that has only 4 Posts with this Thread here included.
There are also not really anything important on the other posts that have some Information that it should be deleted or the Account name changed.
Even the Account is an old one i would say that the OP should just change the password its hard to remember or the Admins lock that Account.
As others have already written a PM to theymos for delete the Account is the best way.

Please delete my account, the button doesn't want to work.

Where have you seen the button for account delete?

Why do you want to delete your account?

If you can answer these questions then i will know why and how desperate you're in seing what you want coming to pass, but for the sake of further arguments on this, you cannot delete you account, you may logged out, clear your browser history or delete your browser, but not your bitcointalk account, just go inactive and that's solved the problem, but if you think you might later be tempted to log in again, then get yourself banned, but i see no reason why all these should be done by you, when the entire community here comes with diverse opportunities and a good place to stay.

Note that there are known and unknown services that scrape data from the forum, so consider that anything you post after clicking on post button is recorded and cannot be deleted.

I don't know why OP wants to delete the account when it's not that valuable and only has 4 posts, simply logging out and never coming back is enough.

After waking up from a long sleep since 2014 and then making a thread wanting to delete the account is funny.

I see there is no privacy important in this account, the account name I am sure is not his real name, he did not post any wallet, so what is privacy?
Is this thread just being OP's silliness?

You can not delete your account, you can only edit your post but if you still want to delete your post here on the forum but it will still appear in ninjastic.space, but why did you want to delete your account?

Ninjastic is an independent scrapper just like Loycev.club, what they basically do is they take information and data here from Bitcointalk, moderators don't operate them and they officially have nothing to do with the forum post but God forbid, if the forum is lost or hacked today, they can still serve as a backup to get things back quickly because they contain almost every line of post that are posted here on this forum since their launch. But who knows if the global moderator also has its independent scrapper?

I think OP made a mistake with his username and is looking for a way to change it and that's why he is looking for a way to delete it and create another one, there is nothing logical for a user who has fewer than 5 posts to delete his account unless if the user fears about his email which he can just change or just forget about the account.

Okay, I get the whole point now, but it is not an easy task for the OP to change his/her username, because I believe if it was so easy to change usernames, a lot of people would have done so. So I strongly believe that a lot of forum members have thought about changing their username, but it isn't an easy task for them to do so, so they have dropped that idea of changing it. However, if the OP is looking for a way to change his/her username, then I would suggest he/she should just sluff-off the account now that the account is still new and has no good use.

I understand you have a genuine request, and it's entirely valid to want to delete your account. However, please keep in mind that the administrative process of deleting an account is not as straightforward as it seems. As far as I know, bitcointalk doesn't have a delete option, so account deletion, if possible, would likely need to be done manually by an administrator (I believe only theymos can do this). Even then, it will not entirely erase your account but replace it with an anonymous one.

By the way, your account dates back to the era when Bitcoin was priced at just $600, and it's a piece of history in its own right, it is something to hold one to. Nevertheless, if you have genuine concerns about privacy or security, I recommend sending a PM to theymos with your details. If your request meets the necessary requirements, there's a chance your account could be deleted.

I’m going to self-quote a whole post here that is pretty long (as an exception), but who’s content I found interesting at the time I search the info enclosed within:

<…>

The option seems to have been available in SMF 1.1.x, but is disabled on this forum. The help guide seems to be a default proforma content, shared in other implementations such as this one, this one, and this other one. I guess it could be edited here to adapt the content to the available options.

Since the forum was moved to it’s current domain in august 2011, and the procedure to delete an account was depicted in September 2011 as requiring the Admin (se quote below), I doubt it has ever actually been an option for the user to self-delete his account, at least under the current domain.

To delete your account:
- Delete all of your posts you want deleted
- PM me with the name you want your remaining posts credited under

Sidenote - Fun historical quote concerning what used to happen to spammer accounts:

Removal of old accounts is not unprecedented. Many users have requested account deletion on this forum, and others may have been deleted for non-publicized reasons. I did some data crunching, and got 3565 missing account numbers, either because they were deleted or were never created

There was one purge of inactive accounts a long time ago, and it used to be policy to delete the accounts of spammers. But accounts are almost never deleted nowadays.

Account self-deletion is feasable in SMF (see the three "this one" hyperlinks in the quoted text above), it’s probably just not there for Bitcointalk as a deliberate omission.
