Not ideal, but i'll live lol. But for the record, i want to leave as little online info as possible, id rather terminate an entire account if that means less "data" of me publically floating around if possible, i just like not having the public finding my data if im not using a service, since i wanna keep a presence of privacy, if ya know what i mean?(now i understand a business keeping records, but thats a whole other fish to fry imo) On 2/19/2024 at 3:47 PM, Fing3rButt3r3 said: There is no real answer, I know a few people who requested and did all that stuff but its been 4 months waiting for them still. Okay the reality is that @Fing3rButt3r3 is pretty much right, there is no real answer. But I'm trying to make this as loud as possible until someone gets mad at me. I went ahead and asked the only guy who can be verified to have successfully had his forum profile deleted as far as I know. Huge shoutout to Kevao97 for not only being willing to provide this info to me, but also being willing to go on record to me as the one who provided it. Everything I'm about to provide is because of him and he deserves the thanks, it's really kind of him to help out like this. I asked about his process and he said this to me: Hmmmm, I understand. unfortunately sly is the only one capable of performing the deletion. It happened that, immediately after the function was implemented, I opened the deletion process on the same day and time, most likely being the first to do so, so the next day I was already completely deleted. Furthermore, there are some serious problems with the function, because the function deleted any and all associations I have with the main site/portal apart from the forum; I can no longer create or participate in sessions, because my account literally no longer exists. In fact, I'm still logged into the portal, but the account doesn't exist, so I'm in a limbo where if I log out it's over. unfortunately, this issue is on the same level as people who rely on sly to clear a flag or other more technical things that admin can't do. There is a member who had his account deleted by the software by mistake and he never resolved it until today in several years, Sly just don't care. I'm very sorry. unfortunately the resolution depends on sending messages on his discord, I managed to get him to respond to me at times over the years, regarding some flags that were later lifted (and reapplied) lol, some friends of mine are still waiting for a response to this day. Apparently I was very lucky in deleting the account. In all reality, you guys do whatever you want with this information. But Kevao97 has always been someone you can trust to give honest accounts of the things he's dealing with. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what nonsense you were seeing when you tried reading between the lines, but you should have actually read the words I typed. I legit want Sly to actually do things this site needs, and in a timely manner, like he used to when the site was new. I've said many times how I feel about Sly's inactivity. It's infuriating being a mod for a site you love when the admin doesn't seem to care. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fair that I hold that against you in this specific situation, but that's the honest answer as to why I was so aggressive.

So it would probably be accurate for me to say that my forum profile will mostly likely stick around for some time then? I mean, Its not ideal, but i guess i'll just piddle around on here either until Sly replies, or i change my mind after the heat death of the universe, which ever comes first. It is what it is i guess, no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry all you have of this site is negative thoughts and experiences, and would have hoped that not be the case. Let it be known that the staff share in the frustrations that the members of the site have with the long laundry list of things needing fixed or addressed on this site. My original post was meant just to be a light-hearted joke with an added jab at Sly included. Nothing more than that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x49ersblitzkreig Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 My question is: Can't Sly find a code somewhere online that he can implement onto the site so people can delete their accounts automatically? If so, is he too lazy or too busy to go find and implement it? No hate to anyone on that comment It's just a thought I have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every other website in existence has the option. It would certainly reduce his workload and make it convenient for everyone to not have to wait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightPurpleFin Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but at least from my knowledge of GDPR and EU regulations, isn't not deleting the profiles and whiping the relevant data to them potentially in breach of some laws? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Databases can be very sensitive. Additionally, creating an easy-to-use delete function would likely be just as easily exploitable for hackers. I think at the very least, if it were a simple solution it would already be implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may or may not be right (and a Google search is usually not a definitive answer to legal questions like these) but their remark was about litigation on a personal basis. The GDPR is enforced by the respective national privacy authorities. As an individual you can file a complaint with said authority. If they investigate and find a breach of the GDPR they can administer a (hefty) fine. Only when the fine is contested may the case at one point end up in court.

Abby_TheLastofUs Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Ok, wow. So reading this thread I was a bit confused how there were members that had requested their accounts to be deleted months back but were still here, because I had noticed one of my followers showing up as "Deleted User", and their posts said <deleted>, so I thought Sly had approved their account deletion, but I went back and checked their profile only to notice that they had actually just changed their name and edited their last dozen or so posts to say <deleted>. Well, that's one way to do it till Sly gets to it. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
