I get requests now and again from members who request that I delete their account on this site. I know posting this here is a waste of time, because most people don't bother to read this area, but here goes anyway.

Sorry, but a lot of scammers wish to do this exact same thing to try to cover their tracks after they have scammed some people, so the policy here is that no accounts are deleted nor information provided by the user removed. Not saying you are a scammer, but I cannot have a policy that ONLY applies to scammers, because that in itself would be an accusation.

I am sure you may have your reasons, and they are exceptional and unique, but sorry, that is just the way it is.

One way I look at this, is that some people think they can come here, post ads or whatever FOR FREE, and then figure that they have USED this site all that they wanted to and then now want to move on and erase their tracks afterwards. Doesn't matter that perhaps deleting their account and their posts might destroy the continuity of any threads they have posted within. Doesn't matter that they want to have wasted everyone's time that might have engaged them in conversations that perhaps THEY don't want removed or altered. I don't know your reasoning, and quite frankly just do not care. Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way here. And I am certainly under no compulsion to do your bidding at your command. Especially when you make it painfully obvious that I have absolutely no incentive whatsoever to help you in any way. You obviously don't give a damn about this site, so excuse me if the feeling is mutual.
 
Yo I didn’t post a damn thing here or even interact with a single person except you!! And now i in now way want anything to do with this site because of you! I want my information deleted

I sure do hope I can recover from your leaving this site......
 
What the hell kind of bullshit is this? All i asked was how do I delete my information and you start saying about scammers and no one caring about this site. Well with the responses im getting from this is probably why no one cares. It makes no sense. I joined hoping to find new pets , but there is not many posts to choose from so I would like my information deleted and move on. I didn’t post anything or interact with anyone besides you so the whole scammer thing had nothing to do with me.

Now, I don't know that for a fact, now do I?

Wouldn't you think that an actual scammer would say the exact same thing?

See, that is the problem. I can't make rules that only apply to scammers, because the enforcement, as such, would imply that I were publicly calling them scammers by enforcing rules in that manner. Suppose I were wrong? Well, then, that could drag me into a defamation of character lawsuit. So it applies to everyone, equally and fairly.

Sorry if you don't like that fact, but I am getting quite used to having to do things that not everyone likes.
 
What is the reason for being an asshole about it? All the whining how no one cares and you don’t give a damn. I haven’t even been on this site for 2 days what the hell kind of administration is this?

Seriously? You think it is just fine to speak to me in that manner on MY site?

:out_of_here:
 
Then I want my information anonymized and de-identified by law

When the time comes that I am inclined to grant you your requested favor, I will get right on this. But sorry, not a moment before.
 
Ahhh so its more of another case of this is MY site i can bully whoever i want when ever i want! You are the King! The tyrant! Don’t question me or my authority! All this from a simple question that could have been simply answered without the belittling and smartass answer. No wonder this place is going down the tubes. Stuck in ancient times and the guy running the place can do as he pleases because hes the king!

I do not think you know what that means...

Guy if you had just had thought that this site is not for me and logged out with no post's then all they had was a name and a place and no one looking.

You have a Facebook account for god's sake! Why worry now?
 
Not the point. Would have been as simple as you say til the owner had to act like idiot right off the bat giving a ridiculous rant instead of a simple answer to a simple question
 
Can anyone point to the "ridiculous ranting" going on in this thread? :face_palm_02:

And now i in now way want anything to do with this site because of you!

I am still waiting for that to kick in, BTW. :rofl:

So asking a simple question deserved to be answered like that??
 
I want my account and all of my information deleted how can i do that?

That is all i asked. The only thing I sent to anyone. So tell me how the answer you gave me wasn’t being a jerk? You had to rant like that because someone that doesn’t know this site asked you how to delete their own account.

All I did was to link you to this thread so you could figure out the answer yourself. And you believe that is "ridiculous ranting"? :rofl: Sorry if you couldn't grasp the premise that you are no one special to me, and I certainly don't owe you any favors.

Just out of curiosity, how would you classify your own posts within this thread? Name calling and profanity from you not to be discounted, of course.
 
You started all this with the bullshit you said. Sorry im not some old smart guy sitting behind a keyboard with nothing better to do but screw with people. Any other site on the internet if you aren’t happy with it you can delete your information and account. All boils down to, yup you are way smarter than me and can talk better than me. Congratulations i know that isn’t hard. Ya berate me im stupid your smart im dumb. Just is wrong and rude to say the things you did when all i asked was how to delete my account. The explanation of the rule would have been simple enough. But no you have to talk down to people with that long drawn out rant like you where talking to someone that has been bugging you over and over. Its just plain rude. Ya my comments afterwards where and are also but just because you didn’t use profanity doesn’t make anything you said any better.
 
Uh, no, YOU started it all by making this all about YOU. What I posted was my stated site POLICY. You can take my choice of words used however you see fit. If they hurt your feelings, well, maybe you need to toughen up a bit and realize that the rest of the world does not have to tiptoe around your fragile feelings.

I am sorry that you feel the need to make your self evident challenged mental state blindingly obvious to everyone who reads your words here. You obviously don't even have the mental capacity to recognize that the original post in this thread wasn't even about you. Matter of fact it was made a little less than a year BEFORE you even joined this site, and obviously (to any discriminating mind, at least) made in reference to others making the same request in the past that you have right now. It was establishing public comment of site policy. But YOU wanted to make this all about YOU, didn't YOU? And this further points out the fact that you didn't even bother to research in this section to try to find the answer to your own question. So I chose to point you HERE, to site policy, instead of taking my time to answer you personally about something I have had to answer countless times in the past from other people. But somehow you got it into your mind that I climbed into a time machine and made that original post on April 23, 2022 PERSONALLY all about you, didn't you?

So it is my fault that you have some cognitive deficiencies and therefore feel the need to lash out at me because of them? And you apparently figured I would be impressed by your command of profanity and derogatory slurs, too, I suppose. Well, sorry to disappoint.......

Sorry, but you are no one special here. It is highly unlikely that anyone in the known universe is going to give a crap about you enough to come here looking for classified information about you. Information that you chose to volunteer yourself, no less. So, seriously, get over yourself. You are quite likely just not that important to anyone else. Your delusional secrets are safe here from the prying eyes of those self imagined hordes trying to track you down.

IMHO.
 
Thats what you gave me for the answer to my question. If you are going to bitch about running a site why do it. I have no clue how this site works it makes no sense. Yup again my dumbass. Obviously thats how you like to talk to people then if that was towards someone else. If thats how you answer people no matter how many times you have been asked,no wonder you get responses such as mine. Must be nice to sit behind a computer and talk to customers that way. If gave a rant like that to new customers that all ask the same questions over and over and over there would be a shit storm.
