How can I delete my account? (Original Post) Still In Wisconsin May 2017 OP
No there is no way to delete your account. hrmjustin May 2017 #1
There isn't. TexasTowelie May 2017 #2
Even getting banned doesn't delete an account. It just locks it up. nt WePurrsevere May 2017 #3
Isn't that kind of weird? Volstagg May 2017 #12
No, IME it's not weird at all. It's also not really a "fake account"... WePurrsevere May 2017 #13

If you want to leave without a GBCW post then just do it. Good luck with whatever comes next for you.

Still lets the site claim that person for advertising purposes but it's just a fake account at that point. Weird. Not my place; not my rules.

It's simply an inactive one. If the member has never posted anything I could see deleting it perhaps, otherwise deleting the member and possibly their posts could mess with the flow of other member's posts.

But I confess to all the words I've ever spoken, and all I've written.

No take-backs, not here, not on the internet, not in the Real World.TM

Teenagers slam doors.

So, what's got you upset about this place?

If you don't want to answer, walk away....

Hopefully neither Hillary nor Bernie will ever run for President again, although I like both of them. And yet here we are, fighting the primary over, and over, and over...

I got a post hidden when I last adventured in one of those threads.

I've always been in the Hillary Clinton camp, if that matters.

Seriously, everyone who is OK with this, go here and look at how many sites have LOST their data to hackers. Search for your email address.

https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I know you guys may think you are safe if the site hasn't been hacked, but honestly it is just a matter of time. Build in a way to do this pronto.

It's like walking around with no mask on. It might not hurt you, but you increase the risk to anyone not using the site anymore.
