    Solved Anonymize and delete member account

    Post by Anonymný April 1st 2019, 11:14 am

    Hi, I am a member of this forum: http://vwgolf-club.slovakforum.net/.

    I have contacted the administrators of this forum with personal messages and contact forms several times over the past few months, but I have not received any response from them. Administrators are absolutely non-contact.

    I need for privacy reasons:
    1. anonymize my account (for example, change username to "Guest12345")
    2. and then delete my account (if the first step is successful, I don't need to delete my posts).

    Thanks for all the answers that can help me.

    The process mentioned by you will also anonymized (rename) my account (user) name? What exactly happended when I follow the steps mentioned above? Will my primary (old) username be displayed on my previous posts?

    Bare in mind though admins and moderators could manually rename the guest name on posts back to your old username on a post by post basis if they wanted to, but they likely wont as they would have to each post one at a time.

    skouliki and brandon_g, thank you very much for your answers.

    If the process starting on https://www.forumotion.com/unscribe will rename my username to Guest and delete the account, I am going to do it. I dont think, that administrators will rename my "guest" username back to the original username, because the forum is probably not maintaining for a long time.
