Like I said I was speculating. You can't really blame me for guessing what the reason is and being wrong, it's just based on my general impression of you on how you carry yourself here. In any case, speculation isn't terribly valuable and now that you've said why, I don't see a reason to persist.
Fair enough, i have no need to argue with you on this... Though maybe you should consider the idea that a persons way of writing is jus a persona... it allways is
That does actually make perfectly good sense but I've never heard anyone bring this up as a concern. Ive asked people who requested deletion why they wanted it, I never got a real answer.
I cant speak for others that have asked , but on the two occasions i have asked you (before and today) the reason has allways been the same... And in all fairness you have jus plainly said no... not asked me for a reason...
You would have saved trouble by granting my request before.. as with the account deleted io would never have returned...
Whereas whilst there is an account and my details are held.. i will allways post at some point
Like I said, perhaps we should make it clear that a users input on a forum is considered some kind of a carrier agreement. It's still your material and you can edit any post you ever made but you allow us to display it for the purpose of the forum. Otherwise what point is there to run a forum where members will erase every trace of participating, leaving potentially good threads destroyed? If you wish to delete a post, you can do it but we won't batch process it for you because it's not in our interest. It's neither pervasively your property or ours, it's some kind of compromise.
That is a tricky issue, for instance you say someone can edit their posts, but if you remove their account as requested they no longer have the ability to edit said posts... do they...
You also have the current stickiness of the fact that we signed up under one management and then it changed...
But yes there is compromise...
Btw account deletion can only be done by the admin.
Im aware of that... I was quoting your post as you questioned why... the only person i asked was Z
