Hey. I am relatively new, I just signed up, and haven't been on a lot. Me being the dim person I am, I just realized that I do not support any of the ships that this forum supports. Well, except for Lily/James.
I was just wondering, moderators and admins, how I could delete my account. I am sorry to do this to you - - but I don't think I would have anything to talk about, really, and I belong to WAY too many forums! I thought I would get rid of the account that I don't frequent a lot, and that isn't really necessary for me. I am sorry, again, it's not that your forums aren't good - they're awesome! - they're just not for me.
I hope you understand and thanks in advance for the answers.

this Request has been processed. It's an unual request, and one we do not often accept ( as some posts / threads become unreadable ).

MOD NOTE: merging this into a related thread.

After the travesty of the poor writing featured in book 6, I wish to have my membership along with all posts I have made removed from this website. Please do not attempt to talk me out of this. I have spent alot of time and energy on this book series and now that it has completely lost its charm I wish to have no reminders of all my wasted effort. Either let me know how to do this or please do it yourself.

sincerely,

WE don't terminate member accounts if they have posts on the site. So they are staying. Sorry. As for the rest of the issues in the book, I would tell you to read the book again, read some fanfics, wait for people to analyse the book properly. Remember another book is still coming.

EDITED JAN 2009. (Co-mods, please read this related topic.)

A couple of days ago, I got a PM asking how can a member un-register from the forums. Sorry, we're reverting to our former policy of generally not deleting user accounts. There are a number of technical and other reasons for this, one of which is there's always a chance the user will change their mind.

Exceptions would be accounts that are obviously spambots or those that we suspect to be automated registrations. We've already deleted thousands of such accounts. That's why new members get a user ID # that's 2x (or more) the total # of registered members shown in the board stats.

To my PK co-mods, please read the Jan 9 2009 "warning" on my account for details.

I do know that as recent as Jan 2008, PK mods and admins were getting repeated requests from some PK-ers to have their own accounts removed. I think I can see why the admins at that time acquiesced to some of those requests.
(This is not a criticism of the previous mod teams' efforts to combat robo-accounts. It only shows the growing sophistication of spam / auto registrations these days.)

Last month, I did delete a duplicate and recent account made by a PK oldbie, who PM'd me after she found out she could still access her old one. That duplicate account hadn't made any posts.

First, I know this is in the wrong section. I didn't know where to go to place this question. Sorry! But, does anyone know how to cancel their account here on the forums. I don't know how to do it and I just want to get rid of this. If anyone does, could you please contact me through my account? Thanks!

Just pm a mod that they will close your account.

thank you!

I can't do it myself but I will notify the proper authorities

your welcome

Since last year, we've reverted to our policy of not deleting accounts. If people no longer want to use their Portkey accounts then all they have to do is to stop logging in. This has been posted in the Forums Help board and in the Help pages linked on the top right of the board header. There are plenty of reasons for this, here's some of them as explained by another site.
