I beleive there are a number of add-ons that might help with that, this being one of them: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/021-multi-account-detector.7623/I think if I do delete a member again, at their request, and after explaining the other options, I'd like to prevent them rejoining with a new account 2 or 3 days later. But I guess you can't.
Yes but if you want to be compliant with privacy laws etc, which this thread is about, you would be questioning using an addon that appears that it may not be compliant with privacy.I beleive there are a number of add-ons that might help with that, this being one of them: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/021-multi-account-detector.7623/
They can if you have a contact form.which means they can't contact you to ask for data deletion!
I agree it's questionable. I don't know how this particular add-on works but you are entitled to retain certain information for operational purposes.Yes but if you want to be compliant with privacy laws etc, which this thread is about, you would be questioning using an addon that appears that it may not be compliant with privacy.
Good point. Yes they can. I guess banning an IP address then if you don't want them to rejoin - but then there are VPN options.They can if you have a contact form.
Perhaps limit the contact form to registered users...They can if you have a contact form.
In this case you cannot ban their IP because you no longer have it - it was deleted along with their other personal info, remember?I guess banning an IP address then if you don't want them to rejoin
Then how do unregistered users contact you? Or legit enquiries from users with login or registration issues. Or potential advertisers wanting to throw money at you ?Perhaps limit the contact form to registered users...
They canif you have a contact form.always contact the data controller.
Where personal data relating to a data subject are collected from the data subject, the controller shall, at the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with all of the following information:
- the identity and the contact details of the controller
You have a good point, however depending upon the purpose of the forum, perhaps an admin doesn't want unregisstered users to contact them.In this case you cannot ban their IP because you no longer have it - it was deleted along with their other personal info, remember?

So ban them first then delete them?! Assuming banning also bans the IP address? Actually it's not really possible to stop someone rejoining is it - they could just use a different IP address or VPN.In this case you cannot ban their IP because you no longer have it - it was deleted along with their other personal info, remember?

I don’t assume that. Two separate actions.So ban them first then delete them?! Assuming banning also bans the IP address?
Doesn't make any sense - when you delete an account the ban also gets deleted.So ban them first then delete them?!
It doesn't.Assuming banning also bans the IP address?
Yeah, banning IPs doesn't make much sense.Actually it's not really possible to stop someone rejoining is it - they could just use a different IP address or VPN.
If you properly delete an account you won't be able to detect when the user rejoins because everything that could identify the account has been forgotten.What I meant earlier though was, if a deleted member then rejoined. Make a note of the IP address on their new account, ban that and then delete the new account.
IMHO it doesn't matter much what the admin doesn't want - what matters is compliance.You have a good point, however depending upon the purpose of the forum, perhaps an admin doesn't want unregisstered users to contact them.
If you are able to detet that a user rejoins after deleting an account your deletion process doesn't fulfill GDPR requirements.
