I hate this new version of CF and I have emailed the Moderators but no one has gotten back to me about this yet, does anyone know how I can delete my account? If you know please do comment, I would really appreciate directions on how to do this! I checked Community Rules, Privacy Policy, etc, but I don't know how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

You can't. It's kinda like the Hotel California in that sense. You can check in any time you like. But, you can never leave.
Maybe just walk away, and in time you may decide to give it another go.
They probably invested alot of time and money into this new concept. I am pretty sure that there is no going back now.
It is a shame that we are losing you.
God bless you in your endeavors.

I wish you would stay and give the new version a chance...please?
I spent some time looking things over, taking notes of where
stuff was and how to use various "tools" etc.

If you are determined to leave...

You can try this:
Make sure your computer "save info or save whatever" is turned off...
then do the following...

change your password on here... instead of watching what
letters you hit on your keyboard...type randomly (avert your eyes
or just close them) then save the new password.
Log out from christianforums.

If all goes well, you won't be able to log back in.

Just,

Probably admin is overwhelmed still with the change over, and will get to your request in time. But I would suggest you simply turn off all contact from the site and let the account be. Then it shouldn't impose on you, and it will be there should you ever want it. And in time the site will probably be smoother.

To do that, click on (not just hover over) your user name at the top-right. Select Contact Info on the left. Deselect all forms of contact, and Save.

I do not think there is a way to do this. However, having had a similar situation at a previous forum......

You have two equally effective ways to do it.

1. You can violate the forum rules until they ban you. I used that method on a previous forum that was filled with trolls non-stop. Worked like a charm.

2. You can go into your preferences, and disable every single alert, and then log out of your account. You do that, the forum software should never send you an alert or message, ever again. I've done that as well. It worked so well, that now that it has been a few years, I actually can't remember what forum I was on. It's never messaged me, and I have no idea what forum it was.

Most of the newer forums do not have a delete account function. The reason is because ridiculous people who apparently have too much time on their hands, will then create a new account, post a bunch of garbage and make fools of themselves, and then remake a new account.

You also have a problem with hackers and trolls spamming forums. They spam a hundred posts on sexual enhancement, delete their posts, then make a new account and spam again. Eliminating the ability to delete an account, keeps that computer address locked up, so they can't make a new account.

MOD HAT ON

This thread is closed. OP was from 2015 and has not logged on in years. To delete your account simply make a support ticket or report one of your own posts and Staff can take care of it for you. This is generally done quickly on your behalf. When an account is deleted there is no automatic way to delete your posts, it has to be done manually. If you want to delete your content simply go back to your posts and Edit them to remove the content before you request your account deletion.
