@Gregor

Forums where never created for GDPR.

funny see an answer, but not the question, while comment is deleted @username in response is not removed. And the quote. The forum gets less useful as a knowledge base.

I wonder when moderates wake up, another month maybe.

I don’t get why people want this done, specially on a site like this, I can kinda understand it for social media, when you may just want that part an old life gone for various reasons, but for Amiga forum I would never both with. Just leave the account dormant.

Its quite simple. Just dont use it.
Real removal and back deletition isn't possible at this type of forum.

@NutsAboutAmiga

Well as you stated, the @user replies remain, as do the posts. What does happen is the username associated to the post is removed and becomes "anonymous".

This can make looking back on old posts a little confusing when trying to work out whose posts a response is in relation to, and sadly there is no option in the CMS to retain the username against the post once the account is deleted.

This has been a point of contention for more than 15 years, but if a user wants their account closed, that is what happens when it occurs, and we will delete the account as requested.

Why not just PM a Mod directly

Just ask them to rename your account and assign a random password Oh, and change the associated email Complete deletion would over many other such accounts lead to swiss cheesing the database
