Delete user account

[BR14]

is this the longest flounce? - i'm relatively new, but hey

[administrator]

Top trolling from Admin; well played.

If only! As WTFH said, the account "Admin" might not accept PMs but "Administrator" does, much to my annoyance. Will look up the admin account as I think sasguru might have made this mistake a few weeks ago as well - and if the most intelligent person on the forum can make this error then god help the rest of us

At the risk of being banned, here is the data you require

Can I ask a company to delete my personal data? | European Commission

I have now removed this person's account as requested, all in accordance with GDPR regulations. The posts are not personal information so they are still here.

GDPR does not require deletion, just stopping processing...

[WTFH]

if the most intelligent person on the forum can make this error...

I didn’t make the error!

[cojak]

The end result is the same so I’m quite happy with the outcome. The usual idiot poster requiring the last word.

BTW, "contractorcontractor" I'm giving you fair warning here, if you keep posting in the prof forums with misleading, false and dangerous information, I'll ban you before you are deleted.

Incredible stance to take. I mean NorthernLadUK has been doing that for years and he’s still here!

This is why I asked the other guy - some seem to think that GDPR includes lots of things.

The only "personal" information the site holds is the email address, and birthday (if provided). There's no home address, phone number, or any personal info like that.

Under GDPR you have a right to be forgotten. For a social media site this should be removing you (and your posts) completely if you can be identified. At the very least this should be removing email address and any other personal data - admin could add a dummy email address into the DB and then lock the account. If the user thinks their user name could identify them, then this could also be changed if the site does not want to lose all post threads started by that user.

There should be a process in place to meet these requirements.

Edit: just saw the actions taken by Administrator
