general questions Is it possible to delete this account?

[Names Are Irrevelant 4]

So, i was wondering if it's possible by any chance to delete this account permanently , or at least change my name to something that is no where near related to my current name. If not, then can any staff member do so?

Nevermind, i figured it out.

We do not delete or remove user accounts from the site. 

 

From this FAQ Entry

 

Do members have the ability to delete their own posts and threads?

No. Members cannot delete their own posts or topics, nor can they delete blogs or blog entries that they've made. The only content that users are able to delete on their own are status updates and status update comments.

These limitations are in place for several reasons... first and foremost, it is our experience that people most often seek to have threads removed when the reception to the thread is not what they would like to see. A good example of this is a person creating a thread to debate a particular topic of interest, only to realize that the opinion that he or she is arguing for is unpopular and difficult to defend.

Another common thing we've ran into is for people to seek to remove all of their content when deciding that they'd like to 'leave the site' for good. This is problematic for a couple reasons - first, it can carve massive chunks out of discussion threads, leaving behind a tremendous amount of collateral damage. Who wants to read a thread in which a great deal of the original content has been stripped out? Secondly, what happens if - like many others - their decision to make a hasty retreat from the forum was done on a whim and they end up returning?

If a user desires the removal of one of his or her posts and/or threads, they are encouraged to use the large red reportbutton that is located beneath every post on the forum, or to PM a moderator, with reasoning as to why they want their topic or post removed, locked, etc. As long as there is a credible reason for the request the staff will often honor them, though threads that have spawned good discussions, and/or posts that are central to the discussion taking place within a thread are unlikely to be removed. The decision of whether or not to remove a given thread and/or post is up to the discretion of the moderator that handles the report.

Please note, however, that the bar for removing threads and/or posts that you've made in the life advice sub board is significantly lower given the distinctly personal nature of the area.
