but the policy stands still.
when an account is deleted, it’s difficult to track down the posts made by the particular account. we consider it a loss of data.
if anyone should leave for whatever reason, they can simply log out & not coming back.
if you want me to, i can change your password so that you won’t be able to log back in, it doesn’t make any sense but i’ll do it if you want
If they won’t let you delete your account, simply delete the CONTENTS of your posts. Don’t delete the posts themselves as they are just moved to a hidden container.
mods took this action based on precedent when ppl abused the account deletion & how it affected the forum.
of course, policies are like girlfriends, one is never enough ^,^
i mean policies are subject to change. different circumstances, different measures.
how about instead of cursing & throwing poo at me (which make my heart died a little inside ), you give us valid reasons why the policy should be changed?
like i said before, mod’s reasons to disable account deletion is cos it’s hard to track down the posts made by the deleted account.
with this kind of reply, someone would start another poo throwing 88)
I was not “throwing poo at you”, man you know that well.
Our communication here & via ■■■ were always friendly :-TU
I was talking about that change in policy re: deleting own account :-TD
Personally, I agree that accounts should not be deleted. It does make it difficult to follow posts.
Maybe there should be an option to put the account into some sort of permanent vacation mode so the posts can still be followed and searched but there is something to indicate that if you ask the user a question they won’t respond. Maybe grey out the name or something.
Most of the Comodo mods use the same account and I only know of 1 which had to make a new account due to it becoming corrupt in a database error (that was about 1.5 years ago), for your information there is a handy dandy display name change option in your wonderful profile settings which you should check.
Please do not post “flammable” content, it is not productive and these forums are all about helping others as well as being a friendly place on the internet, your post above is asking to start an argument.
By the way, does anyone know all the different usernames he’s used. I don’t know much about Wilders as I’m not active there, but it sure seems to apply to Josho, Josh, Dragons Forever, etc…
At the end of the day, does it truly matter? Being able to delete an account or not, we have disabled that option for users to keep data consistent. This was the decision of the forum’s management team.
Posts such as slangen’s only prove to bring “flammable” content. He is disrespecting a moderator as listed in section 5.2 in the Forums Policy.
We understand some users are upset about the decision to disable account deletion, however that is the decision that was made by the moderators and administrators of the forums together.
We appreciate your feedback about this function not being available anymore, and we will consider it for future decisions.
Job done.
