i know this is off-topic but can someone delete my account? i am not using it any longer. thanks in advance

 

Sorry, but forums like AAC are archival in nature. As a rule posts are removed only when they violate the User Agreement to such an extent as to necessitate removal. You can just stop using your account. If you would like, we can permanently ban your account, which will prevent you from logging in again, but your posts will still remain visible.

For test....

Just curious, is temporary ban also possible ?, what with deceased scenario too ?, who will got access to our account ?, facebook has some features to give access to another person when their user deceased
Just curious anyway, no need to ban me

Temporary bans are certainly possible and are used when a member violates the rules and needs to be given a time-out. If a member dies, then their account simply goes dormant exactly like if they simply leave and don't come back (which is what most members of nearly all forums do sooner or later). But the content they've already posted remains publicly visible -- again, AAC is an archival public forum. If the person leaves their account information for their heirs, then they could access the account, exactly like anyone else could access it if they got their username and password or access to the e-mail account that the AAC account is associated with. Forums aren't known for high security. There's a huge difference between something like Facebook and a forum like AAC. With AAC, virtually everything a member does is already public. The only thing that isn't are their private messages. Now, let's say that someone dies and their estate/heirs want access to the private messages for some reason but they weren't given sufficient information to access the account (or recover access to it). Then they could contact the AAC owners and request access. At that point it becomes a question of what the owners are willing to do and/or legally allowed to do and there's a good chance that lawyers would end up getting involved just to make sure that everyone was covered. The mod staff would have no part in any of that.

Yes, but creatively I think there is still one way to delete message, as we can edit right, so someone actually can do edit and nullified it right ?, I mean make whole post to lets say become "." or such, but of course response from other person participated still can't be nullified that way, except there is consensus to nullified the post between all that has participated in the post so its can be completely nullified, or even more creative its can be change to dummy message, news about Trump, or so on, but assume no rules that prevent doing so

But just to note, PRC regulation here legally needs user data to be deleted as their own request (even some not actually deleted but just archived internally and not publicly visible, and will be deleted after few days/months/years, or even can be just internally archived is there any legal requirements, let's say there is a court ruling/warrant/such about user content) and also in most southeast asian countries that I frequently do overseas job there is usually has partially same law too in average, so again creatively a user content can be can be entirely deleted technically using lawyer nor another legal mean as long as the user is reside nor has citizenship in the country that has law to give the user that privilleges

and just suggestion, we maybe, can make legal trouble here by not allowing user to delete their own content, depending on which countries user is and where there corporate/entity behind AAC reside

what do you think ?

 

For test....
message deleted...

still can do such... so technically its not true that post can't be deleted...
we need to think creatively, while I also not support doing soo, except we do some message like accidentally post confidential information that can danger self or someone...

what do you think @WBahn ?

 

i know this is off-topic but can someone delete my account? i am not using it any longer. thanks in advance

My answer is yes you do, but unless there is something really necessary and can danger self or someone, please not doing soo, also you need consensus from all user you has been interacting with to completely delete any of your post, because any mention from any user participated wouldn't be nullified without that user nullified your post too

If deleting a message or messages makes the thread they are in confusing it is likely a moderator will restore the deleted message. The purpose of maintaining the messages is to serve the general membership, and visitors, who rely on the threads for information.

Deleting messages that do not contribute to a thread is not a problem. It is unlikely they would be restored—or missed in any way.

Yes, I just want to say, that's technically, a post can be deleted by editing it and replace by something that nullified the message, like "message deleted..." or such

I mean the user in question can actually edit their message like in example...


First, before being edited


Last, after being edited...

but doing so will still left trace if someone has participated in that post, like when someone has quoted it

My message it's still there, and nullified it by editing it, wouldn't also nullified anyone participated in the thread that has quoted my post...

So its technically can be deleted by being nullified like I say above, but assuming AAC server wouldn't have logged any changes made, if so mod's here can still restore it, but also need's consensus agreement from all being participated in the thread in order to completely nullified a thread by editing like that...

what do you think ? @Ya'akov

We have had a few members that have played the game of going in and deleting the content of all of their posts. The result has been that their content was restored and the member was permanently banned.

Just curious, can you explain what mean of " You also have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. Please contact us if you would like us to remove your personal data. " this ?, in AAC Privacy Policy https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/help/privacy-policy/
What if personal data mentioned that can be erased by user ?

 

Personal data consists of things like your contact information and information that you have placed in your profile. If you have been banned, then you cannot change this information, but you can request that it be deleted.

 

Due to a leak of my email address and password from this site I want my personal data deleted!

No sorry we can't do it replies, just get it done!

Hello,

We do not delete accounts.
We can ban the account, so access is blocked.
