Please delete my account at owncloud.org
Can someone please explain, why it’s not just possible to do it ourselves?
As it’s either impossible or stupidly-well hidden: Please also delte mine!
Apparently with discourse, the software used here, it is not possible to remove an account once it has more than 1 post/answer/emoji.
Hey folks!
Just to give some context - this is what I replied to another user, and I can delete your account as long as you give me permission to do so - as yes, there are some issues when posts are tied to a user.
Here is the message I sent before:
I looked into this and researched why you were unable to delete your own account.
It turns out that Discourse has some settings to prevent data loss (meaning if your first post is older than x days, you cannot delete the account)
I can anonymize your account first and then delete your account.
That way your posts will still remain visible; this way your contributions will still remain visible for posterity, but it will not be tied to any account. This way there will also not be any gaps in forum threads etc.Does this make sense to you and do you agree?
If so - I can go ahead and start this process.Again, our apologies for the wait and we would love to know if there is anything we can do to keep you within the community. I am open to hear any feedback and suggestions.
Please let me know if you would like me to still remove this account and if there is anything else I can assist with.
We are sorry to see you go - but please feel free to reply here or send me a DM and I will take care of it.
Thanks,
