How do I delete my account on here…?

Occasionally we receive requests from members who no longer wish to have an active account on here.

As per our Terms Of Service…

If you wish to no longer have an account on here… please PM one of the moderation staff to let them know, along with the reasons why… and we can then simply ban the account for you.

Please give careful consideration before contacting the moderation staff with your request.

Many members over the years have had some time away from the site - to then come back some time later and post again - or just spend some time reading others’ posts and other information available on here…

 
or…
 

If you request that your account actually be deleted, to delete your e-mail address, and any related user logs… in haste… the moderation staff will be unable to restore your account at a later date - should you have a later change of heart.

Should you wish to delete any personal data held on here you will need to contact Jay, the administrator of the site, to let him know of your request. The moderators can only ban your account - and cannot alter or remove personal data.

Please give the site’s Terms Of Service a read through before making such a request - thank you.
 

^ Obviously deleting someone’s details on here is quite a work-intensive & laborious process. Please give some consideration before sending Jay a request for deletion of persona data - as well as reading our Terms Of Service beforehand.

Jay has countless things to do in maintaining and ‘admin-ing’ the site - and also having a family, life, and job etc away from here - before getting down to data deletion requests - any such data deletion requests may take a while.

A reminder - ‘Data deletion’ is not something that the moderation staff can do themselves, but we can simply ban the account.
