You can now erase your own account. You'll get a 3-day cooling off period, and a reminder 2 days in. Other than that, it'll get erased. Each time you log back in it'll reset.

No need to post "that's it I've had enough"-type threads to get attention from others.

Just delete your account and move on.

Obviously it's not something we want to encourage, but we're certainly not going to ask anybody to stay when they want to leave.

Just be sure you've made your mind up.

To be clear, this removes your email, your password, any connected accounts (facebook, twitter, google etc) and will change your username in the posts you've contributed to the forum to something other than your own.

If you have personal details (like your phone number) in posts and you want them removed, you'll need to manually report each one so we can remove and / or edit those.

We don't remove all content you've contributed to the forum. Just to be clear.

:)
 
Quick question: if someone had contributed/uploaded a resource, and that resource had their personal/identifiable information embedded within it, would you agree to erase it? I can't see a "report" button on resources (unless I've missed it! :) )
 
I think that option may have disappeared with the last forum change.
(But letting mods know - may be a way out ..If anything is worrying you about your content . Reporting your self ! )

(but do be aware it can be deemed usefull to others ..if its made anonymous )
 
Surely you can make an exception for the forum. Be a shame to lose a good member.
Thanks for that, but it’s a life choice. I have really enjoyed the forum, but its all or nothing with me.

This is my last post, but wish you and everyone on here all the best.

Bye

P.S. I tried another threads link to deleting my account and it took me to a blank page.
