Step one is to post a big flouncy message - right at the top of the general issues section - for all to see. You've got this covered so that's a good start.


Next, you can either:


- quietly send a PM to admin and ask them to unsubscribe you


Or


- just stop posting in the bits you can't be arsed with and use it for buying and selling.



Good luck - let us know how you get on.

I thought I have written to the admin people before, but I don't think I got a response.

Surely I am entitled to have my details removed from the site, if I request it?

I will try again.

Thanks I do appreciate any constructive advice

(? and not the smug, snide,caustic mean spirited variety,which is exactly the reason I dislike this site so much!)

What details?


I suspect your name isn't actually Wavyline girl, and unless you're a complete muppet (which I am sure you're not) I doubt you've shared your DOB, address or credit card numbers, so what's to be removed other than things that you have typed and chosen to put on a public domain?


Admin can deactivate your account, so if people click on your name it will say "this poster no longer exists or something like that, but they're not going to go back and manually delete every post you've made.

As Siduhe says, you can edit anything you've previously written, but why should admin (unpaid volunteers) waste their time doing that.


I am not certain, but I think it would mean them having to do it post by post rather than having a "delete all posts by joe blogs" button.

As I understand it, the software the forum runs on doesn't allow for anything other than entire deletion of threads that user has been involved in as part of a deactivation. So everyone loses out because one person doesn't want their posts to survive. It's fairly old software and this forum is managed by a group of volunteers who I would guess have plenty of other things to do. If someone feels that strongly, the option exists to go back and edit.


So not an outrageous request at all, but not very practical for here I would guess.

I think if she was planning to do that she wouldn't have approached it in this way. Personally I sympathise with her and I find it understandable that someone could want to remove their presence completely. Most of the threads are pretty ephemeral anyway so I don't see that it would ruin things for other users. Who knows, might even encourage better manners in some. I know that some of the longtime users don't like people to use the word bullying, but if you ridicule, criticise or attack someone repeatedly, especially when you carry it on after the original disagreement or into another thread, that's what it is by normal standards.

If you mean me, I wasn't having a go about the skate board thing, was just asking if that had been the trigger.


Other than that all I've done is try to explain what admin can and can't do (as far as I know - I don't claim to know the exact capabilities of this software).


I don't think there has been anything "unkind".

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By alice · Posted

      The builders guarantee system is quite fraught. I had a 10 year guarantee for correction of rising damp; within 18 months. The symptoms returned and I was told by the tradesman who returned on an inspection visit that the symptoms this time were not caused by rising damp they were caused by condensation and so the guarantee did not apply.  Without a court battle which would’ve cost thousands there was nothing I could do.

      Local food photographer needed – Sunday 21st 6pm (1 hour)

      By Anthony Birdinio · Posted

      Hi all, I’m looking for a local photographer for one hour on Sunday 21st at 6pm in East Dulwich. We’re doing a food prep session and I’d love some natural, professional shots of: • Food being plated • Prep in action • A few team shots • Some finished dish photos We’re a small independent food business and don’t have a big budget for this one, but happy to agree a fair hourly rate and credit/tag you on all content. If anyone local is building their portfolio or fancies a quick paid shoot, please DM me with your rates and examples of your work.
