Anonymisation & Deletion of Old Data

[Deleted member 74205]

Hello,

Who should I speak to if I want my account to be deactivated, but also if I want my old posts removed?

Thanks,

Phil

You generally cannot have any posts removed but you can ask a moderator to deactivate your account. Just click the "Report" button.

We can ban on request; there is no other form of de-activation I'm aware of.

We don't usually delete old posts but in your case may be able to make an exception because the small number of posts means it wouldn't be very disruptive.

Hi Russ -

If my account is closed/locked/banned will that make my posts anonymous? If not, I would really rather they were deleted, and I would be extremely grateful.

I'm sorry to be a pain...

It will not.

In that case, if there is a way of anonymising (e.g. renaming my account?) that would also be fine... but if you would be willing to make an exception this one time on the deletion policy I would be extremely grateful.
