Opinion poll: Allow DIS users to delete their DIS accounts?

[liquidbase]

There seems to be no feature in my account that would let me delete it if I chose. If everyone else has noticed this, do you believe this option should be granted for every user?

What would be the point?

You can just choose not to log in anymore

 

[sam_gordon]

I say no, simply there might be some information that a user put out that is helpful to someone months or even years down the road (some people DO actually search).

Considering you can go back and edit your posts (to delete them) and it's your choice whether to visit here or not, why should a user need an option to delete?

If you really want your account deleted, start breaking the rules and do it consistently. Your account will be deleted in moments.

Agree.

Why do you ask?

The ability to delete your account would just be an added button. you can either make a new account and start over or go back and delete any info you wish to not be there anymore. I dont see a huge point of it.

Other: I think the Dis should allow ME to delete dis users accounts.

Just asking what your opinion is because other platforms like Facebook let their users delete their own accounts.

I'd like a feature to allow a name change or at least a nickname. I picked mine under pressure once I realized I couldn't remember the password to the account I had made 10 years before and no longer had access to that email.

Now this is legit. I might change my avatar once in a while too, if I could remember how.

You can probably contact a site mod and ask them if they can delete your account. Depends how the site is programmed regarding whether or not older posts would also disappear or just show 'user deleted'. I know when someone creates an account just to post spam or ads, there appears to be a way the site is able to remove them. Other sites I am familiar with let mods do this so a user doesn't delete themselves in error.

If you don't want to participate here any longer, just don't. Not sure what you'll gain by deleting your account.

To change your avatar: click on your username in the upper right. Click on "Account Details". The second thing on the next page is "Avatar". Click on the image to change it. Be sure to click "Save" button at bottom of page when done.

It won’t happen, because it keeps the number of users artificially inflated for advertising revenue.

If users could delete their own accounts I would be concerned that aliens would abduct LowKey and force him to delete his account. Can't have that. He has a unique style that would go unfilled if he was deleted. I would miss his posts.

No--it's like the mafia. Once you're in, you're in.

 

[sam_gordon]

I'd like one of the 19 who voted "yes" to explain why. I just don't get it.

you can completely delete a facebook? I don't remember that option, after I got divorced I deactivated my FB but I don't remember it allowing me to delete.

Are there GDPR reasons users should be able to delete their accounts? I guess we just need one European to complain and find out.
