Yusuf Zah Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I would like to know if it is possible to delete my paint.net account. If it is possible, please tell me how to do it. I also want to know if accounts get deleted due to inactivity. Edited September 14, 2012 by Yusuf Zah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Unless there's a privacy issue, there's no reason to delete your account. Just don't log in.

sali0516 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I really want to delete my account. How do I do that? Or I need to at least change my username. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You've only made 4 posts. Just create a new account and never login to the old account. As long as you don't cause trouble, you're golden. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf Zah Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I want to know, if it is possible or allowed to delete your own posts? Or is it rude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yes, you can edit your own posts. I don't understand why you would want to delete your own posts.  It is considered rude - wasting people's time who have bothered to help/respond & wastes resources. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.  April Jones, 2012  Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf Zah Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks bbq25. I haven't deleted any of my posts yet and I won't do so. Congratulations on becoming a moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf Zah Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Now I really want to delete my paint.net account permanently beacuse I worry that it would get hacked and abused. My posts can be left on the site or removed depending on what the moderators think. Anyway I have not been using my account much. Unlike earlier, I am completely sure of this decision.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 You're worrying for little reason. The forum stores very little personal detail on you.  If you really, really want to say goodbye permanently,  1. Change your profile to remove your personal details.  2. Change your login password to something long, complex and inscrutable. Don't keep a record of this.  3. Logout and don't log in again.  You're welcome back should you so choose. Bye.

Algernon Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Maybe if you were incredibly abusive and annoying they would delete your account.  (I'm kidding of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Reviving old posts as you just did will also get you banned (No kidding). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algernon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Really! I wasn't aware. Thanks for the heads up. I don't understand why but then again I don't have to, so thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 One reason we don't delete accounts is to defend against impersonation ... that is, someone hacks your account and then asks us to delete it. And then you try to login and it's all gone ...

A reasonable moderator would probably warn or only temp-ban unless you're reviving these posts without reason, posting spam, etc. It's an issue with lots of forum software: people rely on the system putting recent things at the top of each category in the forum, and old things at the bottom. Forums that allow 'bumping' will automatically move posts with new activity to the top of this pile, which if done in large quantities will drive all new posts down to the bottom of the page (or even a page over), making it harder to use the forum and annoying users with new activity on long-dead posts. Some forums lock old posts after a period of inactivity or bump conditionally (the best solution imo), but for those that don't, moderators often apply harsh penalties to discourage this behavior as "necroing" posts a lot will ruin the forum user experience.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Deliberate acts tend to rile us more than innocent mistakes We find one warning is generally enough to correct most behaviors we don't deem appropriate or acceptable. Our tolerance rapidly evaporates with repeat offenders, and we have zero tolerance for spammers. Other than that, the Mods here are friendly, funny, knowledgeable and cool to work with.
