Killing Dead Identities
-
We aren't perfect here, but we can do our best to accommodate others that we do not cause actual physical or emotional harm. That is the spirit of this policy.
Recognizing that a member may elect to kill their dead identity before, during, or after transition, admins will review requests for deletions from such members as requests to have their accounts' posts delete from the forum. As with requests for account deletion, we will generally grant these with no questions asked.
Recognizing the amount of work it takes to grant such requests, the deletion of the posts may not be immediate or even completed within 24 hours, depending on the circumstances. Admins will do their best to delete the posts in a timely fashion, but request the requestors' patience through that process.
Be advised that we unfortunately cannot guarantee full erasure. While it is relatively simple to search for posts made from an account, it is exceedingly difficult to search the entire board for quotes and links. So while we can and will delete posts originating from an account, we will not be deleting quotes and links to such posts.
In short: we will do our best in good faith to fulfill the request.
N.B.: This policy may change as nodeBB continues update and get modified.
