If a member wishes to delete their account...
 

If a member wishes to delete their account...together with all their threads and posts/profile can it be done by admin? How easy is it to erase all of the above? What if the forum owner refuses to do this request, What course of action can the member take?

Hi Folks, I was a Moderator of a Forum who uses your latest iteration and I left for sunnier climes. I have requested to have all the above removed and have now met with resistance citing forum rules which at best can be misconstrued.

I guess this can happen with any forum owner and I would appreciate your response from an admins point of view faced with a similar request, and the legalities to retain personal information without your permission.

Hope this makes sense and I do hope I have not opened a can of worms.

Richard
