How to remove your account

[ladymuck]

The OP probably didn't help themselves, I agree, but the overreaction of some of the usual suspects doesn't help either.

A written policy and process to refer to would have been an easier solution

But documentation isn't the Agile way

Just gonna throw this out there....

Until this post 99% of the forum had no idea who you were or what you posted, by being a total tool you will now be forever known around here and be added to the lore of such posters as █████, ████, ██████, █████ and how could we forget the legend that was ███████

And not being sexist, how could we forget ████*?

With my bad back, nothing is the agile way anymore!

Why? There is no answer in this thread, just random comments. A sticky needs the CUK policy on account removal and the process to follow. Just that. Nothing else.

And given the techies on here, surely a simple find/replace script could be knocked up to update threads to remove someone's name with a new random name "DeletedUser_1" or such like.

And what is law enforcement is already looking for Stevie while he is trying to cover his tracks?

Only safe option is to keep all data for the next 100 years, just in case.

Every new thread should start with a quote from Stevie Blunder Boy, just to be sure.

Ahem.

Right to be forgotten only covers personal data. You can request your account to be closed but posts you or others have made on here do not constitute personal data unless they contain identifying information about you. If this is the case then you should indicate where this has occurred so they can be removed or redacted.

In order to request this you need to contact the DPO via the contact details on the page that you quoted that text from. You will also need to provide proof of identity in order to assure the site owners that you are who you say you are and not someone impersonating that individual, as the site owners have a duty under the regulations to confirm this.

OP is still a flouncing twat though.

Every post should start with a reminder on who Stevie was and why one should not be like him.
