can i delete my user profile and all my posts
Q: can i delete my user profile and all my posts?
A: in short, no sorry. There is no way for a user to delete their own profile or their own posts but of course there is an ethical discussion to be had.
This hasn't yet been requested on this forum but it has on others in the past.
The main reason we don't allow user deletion is because its usually as a result of a knee jerk reaction when someone has got upset in a thread & wants to destroy all evidence that it happened. If it was possible, that user deletion could destroy loads of other threads in which they participated & that wouldn't be fair on other users.
What we can do if requested, is change a user name, email address, avatar & any other personal information to disguise the identity of the user.
