Unable to find account deletion?

How do I delete my account?

You can't.

Your posts are a matter of record, and property of PF. Removing them harms the integrity and readability of the site.

You could ask the mods if they would ban you.

If you really want to never come back, change your password to something random.

• You can't ever delete the messages.
• You can just stop coming. If you don;t have the discipline for that, change the password to 100 random characters and that will pretty much do it.
• If that's not enough, you can ask a Mentor to lock you out. Expect this to be irreversable.

You can't.

Well that seems rather creepy that people have no control over their account.

However, I am a citizen of the UK, which still adheres to GDPR law. Under that law, I can request the site delete my information and anonymise any posts I have made. The site's own privacy statement outlines this.
