Delete account

[-Luca]

Hi, please may I delete this account?

I just really want to start fresh again, so please may I?

Maybe another name change?

We do not delete accounts, however, you may create and password that you cannot remember ( press random buttons on the keyboard and do it that way.

You cannot even deactivate accounts?

How do you deal with people then that get the maximum penalty?

I still do want to stay but just scrap this old account. But don't think I can which sucks ;/

no, what you MAY be able to do is do is talk to the admins, and asks permission to set up a sock account ( on the condition that you do not use this account any longer.

How do I ask them? And you mean like a second account?

yes, and you start a support ticket.

I don't think the mods will delete accounts if they're asked to. I know that they will ban accounts on request but, since you want to stay on the forums I wouldn't go that route. You're pretty much stuck with the account you have now since you're not allowed to make another account. Maybe just do a name change?

I don't think you can delete it, but I don't work for CF, you could get another email, and join with a different name.

I would start a support ticket and explain why you want to do it, and what you want to do. There may be a work around, or you may get permission.

We can only advise what is normally done, and it seems that won't suit what you want to do.

This is actually very much against the rules, and would get you banned if caught. (And it can be caught often.)

Not trying to give you a hard time, just for the sake of the OP and whoever might be reading.

How do you create a ticket?

How do you create a ticket?

Go to this forum: https://www.christianforums.com/forums/supervisor-help-desk.1143/
And start a new thread. It will appear to be empty (unless you have created other tickets) because it's private. I think your questions will need that level of permission anyway.

Hope it can be worked out for you!

Thank you Anastasia!

All I want is to just start a fresh account, though I think all of the posts and threads are going to remain alive on this account, sadly.

:/

You are most welcome.


I don't think there is any way they would delete all of your posts. You can edit any of them you want down to a single character, but anyone who quoted them it will remain (I think quote carries old name though).

You can also get a name change easily, but I think your new name would then be attached to your old posts. You can ask permission to have this account banned and create a new one ... if you ask it might be allowed. To do so on your own without permission would be a serious rule violation though and if found could possibly get your location banned so you couldn't access at all anymore.

If it helps, I will say - most people will quickly disassociate anything with you if you get a new name, a new avatar, and stop ongoing conversations. Most threads die and get ignored within a few days or a week. You can always check for new posts to identify any live threads and delete your posts in there. You would quickly become a new person to the general community. But I'm hoping support can help you out so you have some other option.

I have never heard of not being able to delete an account. Every single website on the internet, that you can create an account for, allows you to delete.

Hello and welcome to CF.

You can't delete your own account. Mods can delete and sometimes do if someone joins just to spam or otherwise breaks particular rules.

You can request to be banned if you want to no longer have access (I guess if you can't control yourself?). And you can edit all your own posts - as far as I know the edit option never goes away (I know some sites allow editing only within various windows) - so you CAN delete your content.

But no there is no option to delete your own account and the general rule is that CF won't do it.

Ah, that makes a little more sense. I just wanted to change my username and I saw, when I created it, that it was not possible. I realized it resembled St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary- I don't want it to appear I was speaking for it. I actually meant it as the word "stot" which means "to bound with a stiff-legged gait". (I am a bit of a Monty Python fan and it reminded me of the Ministry of Silly Walks

Ah ok. You CAN change your username. I know for a while that was a perk they charged "blessings" for. But your reason is a good one. I wondered if you had any connection to STOTS and most EOs would recognize it.

I think you need to submit a request in the Member Service Center. If they tell you it costs blessings, let me know and I'll be happy to gift you some.

I hope that takes you to the right place. My phone is acting up. Lmk if you don't see a place to create a ticket/thread. Don't worry if it says "private" ... they are usually between the member and staff.
