Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 As far as I've heard, there's really no way to delete of profile here. 1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,568 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Profiles won't be deleted. Main reason being is because in case you ever want to come back the profile will still be there. Also, for record keeping purposes. Although I believe I remember seeing a post before saying that they do delete accounts, but only under extremely specific circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Nohbdy 4,108 February 20, 2014 Solution Share February 20, 2014 This is a weird topic to bring up, but a friend of mine wants to delete his forum account. Is there a way to go about this? Negative. Accounts are never banned or deleted by request, as doing so would remove information associated with them. Generally speaking, the staff prefer not to delete anything unless absolutely necessary. If there's specific information that users want removed, they should contact the staff and provide an explanation. See the FAQ on account deletion for more details. Hope that helped! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, and I'm not about to ask "What harm could it do?" Since I don't know anything about coding. My friend would just like his whole profile removed. Wouldn't there be a way to make it so it's just not visible by forum members anymore?

May I ask why, specifically, he wants his profile hidden? If it's a matter of information, the content (About Me, avatar, etc.) of the profile itself is easily removed.

He wanted his profile hidden because he felt as if he's gotten a bad rep on the forums, and he wanted his profile taken off. 1 Signature made by: Rainbow Skywalker My little YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/GeekySteven (Game (Mostly) and Pony Reviews) (Yes, I'm actually active) My Johari Window thingymabob :http://kevan.org/johari?name=StevenEarthPony ASK ME A QUESTION OR TWO!:http://mlpforums.com/topic/85648-ask-steven-anything-you-want-he-loves-answering-your-questions/#entry2228380 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohbdy 4,108 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 He wanted his profile hidden because he felt as if he's gotten a bad rep on the forums, and he wanted his profile taken off. That's not a very good reason, to be honest. The best he can do is remove the contents of his profile. Anyway, further discussion can be made through PM or support ticket, and it would be preferred if your friend contacted us personally. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlpfan185 1,763 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 If I were afraid of my future reputation, which I am not because I watch what I say. I would simply search for any post I used my personal name address, clear out my contact details, and use the name change feature to something I've never used. Hidden in plain sight. Obfuscation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
