In the world of the interwebs, nothing is ever fully deleted - especially when said content has existed for months. Granted, you can make things point to dead ends in search results, but you can usually always get information from search results for things that no longer exist. But either way, a user (in my opinion) should always have the option to delete their own account.
I honestly don't see the need for this, since all a member would have to do is request you (the admin) delete their personal info for them. And then you'd do so. What's so difficult about that?
The problem is that some admins ignore our requests and they won't do it.
It's happening to me right now.
It's not the case. They SIMPLY refuse to delete it for whatever reasons.Well, without knowing any of the specifics, such as in what way did you inform the admin, can you be sure he or she has received the request, have they replied in any way, how long have you given them to reply (maybe they're on vacation), etc., it's difficult to form much of an opinion of the matter. But if you know for a fact that they've read your request and have ignored it over a long period of time, that is regrettable. I can't imagine why anyone would want to keep you - no offense! - if you really wanted to go. If I were the admin, I'd delete you in heart-beat, and say too damn bad if you later regretted it. Now, if you had posted a lot of topics and had insisted they be deleted, along with the posts of all the other people who responded to those topics, I'd probably refuse you too, but that's a different story.
You are exactly correct here.@MeowysBut if it comes to them simply refusing to delete your account, then I can only speculate as I did above that the admins are possibly not the most mature bunch - which seems to jibe with what you're saying about them - and just don't want to give you the satisfaction.
You are exactly correct here.
I don't mind my topics or posts, I just want the account deleted.
I was asking if there is someone who rules all Xenforo boards and could delete the account like that, because I know a bunch of forums that works like that.
If no, doesn't really worth my time asking him anymore. They are indeed really immature.
Thanks for your responses though.
Have a good day.
Its required by Spanish law, i think that is a requirement of all european countries. Can self-delete your own account
Could you please confirm me this? If that's true, I can force them to delete my account.Its required by Spanish law, i think that is a requirement of all european countries. Can self-delete your own account
It already exists. The people here want it adding to the core.If people want it bad enough, they should code it themselves or pay someone to code it for them. I personally would like the feature to be in XenForo's core, but it seems to be 50-50 between the community as to those who do and don't want it.
Install add-on, problem solved. I've ranted and begged for this feature to be in the core of any online script and always get the same generic answer. I don't see how there's cons; yeah threads and post counts might be affected, but you're cheating your counts having a "dead" user included in this counts.It already exists. The people here want it adding to the core.
