Delete forum account

[olifantje]

Hello! I was looking for a way to delete my forum account completely, since I cannot use it anymore anyway. I thought with the GDPR and everything this would be easy with a click on a button but can’t find it. Can you help me delete my account? Thank you!

Why can’t you use it anymore?

At this time, accounts cannot be deleted. Edit your profile to remove anything personally identifiable you no longer want there then just stop using the account.

Isn’t that weird, with the GDPR and everything? It must be possible to simply delete it?

There’s a “remove me” button in the works, but its not ready.

Not exactly. Give this conversation a read, it explains it better than I can.

As Steve wrote, that is something that is being worked on but there is no ETA for that.

Okay, I understand. But if I ask specifically, can a moderator delete it for me manually?

no
