    Delete an account

    Is it possible to completely delete an account from this board?

    That would introduce a lot of issues. Consider all the posts that an account has made. If the account were deleted what would happen to those posts? So as a rule, no it's not possible to delete an account.

    An account can be permanently disabled, though.

    There are certainly ways to deal with those issues... but, anyway... how do I permanently disable my account, then?

    For the record, cwilli26 can't do this. It's Lex or I.

    Basically, we perm ban you, which means you can never come back with the email address you used to register.

    Are you certain you want to do this? It is irrevocable.
    If you're having trouble logging in or any other tech support issues, or if you have a question about the software, please post them in the Visitor's Corner.
    If you need to reach me about something more private, please contact me via private message.

    Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.

    Also, as far as I know, none of the staff here are psychics, so if you are reporting an issue, and want help, then please take the time to be as detailed as possible. The more effort you put into describing the problem, the more we'll put into solving it.
