You may delete your account anytime by visiting the Account Delete page directly, and by following the steps provided by the prompt. You can also access the prompt anytime by viewing your Account details.
This is a true irreversible delete, and your account data will be completely deleted from the site's database. This includes your filled out profile fields, email address, IP addresses, and so on. We cannot recover the account after it's been deleted.
Deleting your account does not automatically delete messages posted by the user. These messages will remain up, just anonymized. The user's original username may still appear in quoted content and in messages mentioning the user. However, messages created by the user, the username will be displayed as Deleted member {userId}.
Because all of the messages will be detached from your account, and you will no longer be able to search all of the messages made by a user, if you wish to mass delete all your threads, you must contact a staff member prior to deletion. You can contact staff via the Contact Staff category, via direct messages to one of our Admins, by emailing us directly at [email protected] or by using our contact form.
At this time, we primarily focus on requests related to the mass deletion of threads created by the user, all direct messages started by the user, and profile comments made by the user. Under certain rare circumstances, we may respect the request that all messages (including replies made in other users threads) may be deleted, but will depend on a case-by-case basis.
When submitting an account deletion request, you may login into the account within 30 days to cancel it. We cannot recover the account after this window has closed. A reminder email will be sent to the user 15 days before their account's scheduled deletion date. If you cancel a deletion request, you must wait at least 30 days since the original deletion request date to request another deletion.
If you wish to cancel a deletion without logging into the account itself, you must contact a staff member using one of the above mentioned methods.
Staff can access deletion logs anytime, and will be notified directly when a user requests an account deletion. Do not include any personal information in your reason field. Requesting to delete your account is not a private matter, and staff members may publicly disclose a user has requested an account deletion. If you don't want staff members to do this, please clarify in your reason field you wish for it to remain private.
Users who do not qualify for account self deletions are banned users, temporarily banned users, users with compromised accounts, users with compromised passwords, and staff members. If you wish to request a deletion and you're in one of these groups, you must contact a staff member using one of the above mentioned methods.
