deleting accounts (2 Viewers)

[meilz92]

i was wondering if it was possible to delete your account? not that i want to, i was just curiouss....

if so, do all your posts get deleted too? is there a way to delete everything youve ever posted without having to delete each one individually?

just curious thankss..

Can my account be deleted?
Accounts cannot be deleted currently, sorry.

Can all the posts in my account be deleted?
The Bored of Studies team cannot do this for you, sorry. Alternatively, we can permanently ban your account if you request it - to do so please post in the Contact Moderators Forum with a justifiable reason.
If you wish you can delete all of your posts yourself using the 'delete post function'


Why can't all my posts/my account be deleted?
Because Mass deletion of posts causes several problems:
1) Slows the server down.
2) May delete other, legitimate threads, which are still active.
3) It ruins the flow of threads
4) It takes time that could be more usefully spent elsewhere

lol, trust me that cant happen, they cant do that.

they dont know who you are, you could be anyone to them, plus dont think they have time to google you, they would do so for everyone else, plus its unjust for employers to do that, thats violation and invading privacy, employers cant do that.

its only that bad unless you say put personal info on the net, then anyone can see into it.

lol lets hope you didnt do that now ehehe, it can ruin your image, people can do pranks, steal info, etc..

internet, is a mysterious place to be..yay, thats why im on bos lol

You're going to give them your BoS username now? :S....

The easier way - when you apply for a job, change the name of the account to some made up name or something close but different.
