ACP search for "export user". It's also in the Users section under Data Portability.Stupid question, how do we export user data in latest version? I've just updated our test site but I don't see it anywhere.
In 99,99% of all cases such threats are little more than hot air.The guy replied, he can't access his original email address any more but he's a GDPR expert and will take "great pleasure" in reporting us to the ICO if we don't comply.

"Hi internet troll...
Since Slavik does not know the person's name, I think this was used just for the example and not meant seriously.I don't think it's a good idea to insult someone like this even if they are in fact a troll.
There are exceptions that they outline. I've posted a few exerts in the GDPR thread and tagged you in them. Hopefully that helps you some but I would continue reading through the documents of the GDPR as there are quite a few "loopholes". The way I'm reading it, it seems this is aimed at abusers of personal information, which I highly doubt many of us here do. We do it to ensure the safety, rights and freedoms of individuals who use the site and if someone like the guy who is emailing, being a banned user, can threaten that. Plus, you need to keep those records in the event he tries to come back and cause issues with you or your other members. You need to protect your users on your site from the likes of him.GDPR doesn't require us to delete accounts..?
Do we need to mark all email notification defaults to unticked/off for new users?
"If you can’t identify how, when, and where consent was obtained, the best option in order to be compliant is to ask (to communicate with contacts) again."
"For some businesses, this may mean you need to re-permission your entire database. For example, you’ll need to re-permission if you’ve always used a “pre-checked” box for “consent by default” — which is no longer sufficient under the GDPR."
Will GDPR be a problem when buying another forum? The GDPR user agreement and so forth are all connected with the previous owner/domain.
Will we need every single users permission before we transfer their data to another server/domain/owner?
Yes, it does read that way as this is one of the key reasons GDPR was bought into effect was to stop the sale of databases of peoples information without their consent.

By removing e-mail, IP logs and so forth, and just keeping the usernames + passwords; would that suffice in order to move the database without having to request permission first?
Or, just ask permission of all users before selling. (This is what I would do) Let them know to whom it is being sold to so they can check out that company/person and any privacy policy they may have. The company buying may not be too happy if half yours users then up and leave!
Any members that don't sign on on a regular basis will be lost though, and this is a fairly large user group.
