Guest Chaney Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 If a member -- for personal reasons -- asks the board administrator to delete his (the requester's) membership, should the board administrator comply? (Consider this my second request.) Quote
7/4 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 there's a 10-12 month waiting list. Quote
Daniel A Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) ...should the board administrator comply? I guess there are reasons for you wanting to terminate your membership, and I think it should be done if it's not too difficult, technically, but I suppose it would be troublesome if you want your posts to go away as well. I hope all is well with you, though. Edited September 8, 2007 by Daniel A Quote
vibes Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 If a member -- for personal reasons -- asks the board administrator to delete his (the requester's) membership, should the board administrator comply? (Consider this my second request.) If you do leave, then I wish you well, but it will be very unfortunate. You've always seemed like a very nice guy, from way back in the BNBB days until now. Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 If you wish to leave and not return, then godspeed and all that. But why do you want to be deleted? Why do you want your contributions removed? Unless you are entering the Witness Protection program, I can't imagine why you'd want to be deleted from the membership. Quote
Brad Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 If it's not a hassle I don't see why not but why not just stop posting and leave it at that. Quote

Christiern Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 I believe I successfully removed myself from that snake pit briefly known as the "corner". It took some time and effort, but it was well worth it. I assume that you have a less volatile reason for wanting out, but I wish you would stay. If there are posts you regret having made, simply delete them yourself. I still have serious resentments against the O head (whom I personally liked), but his poor judgement (imho) funked the air. I only took a short leave, however, because what so turned me off is outweighed by the level of discussion O's membership offers. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 I have no problem with deleting an account, but I think it is unfair to the community to ask that all posts be removed as well. I've deleted, by request, the accounts of other members before (one of which had a change of heart and wanted me to re-link all his old posts, which I have tried unsuccessfully to do), but the posts, imo, are part of the community.

Christiern Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 I have no problem with deleting an account, but I think it is unfair to the community to ask that all posts be removed as well.... the posts, imo, are part of the community. A valid point, but I still think that posters should have the second thoughts option when it comes to posts, but not threads that have received responses. Then, of course, we all have the ability to edit rather than delete or words. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) Jim: I never meant to ask that anyones posts be swept away, not even my own. Can you 'unregister' me? Edited September 9, 2007 by Chaney Quote
