Account Deletions: How To Delete Your Account
From time to time, inactive members contact us wishing to delete their AndroidForums.com account. There is now a process in place that allows users to self-delete their accounts.
A complete purge (as in delete your account and all posts/pms/etc) is not allowed. It will mess with the flow of conversation and we like to keep what all is put on this forum for record. Often times if we just delete your content, conversation looks weird. However, if we delete yours and the replies where people were trying to help you, well, that's just not fair to them. They deserve their credit when possible.
However should you have a special case you need to make to me, you're welcome to. Safety, legal reasons, etc. If I see reason that a full purge is in fact necessary I will run it by Rob. Side note: All posts you delete or edit in your history to work around this can and will be reverted to whichever version of edit history we choose.
Sorry to see you want to go!
