How to delete account...

maybe read before you join next time....

"This issue has been addressed by the mods many times previously. Users are not deleted because posts from said users would be deleted, creating all sorts of problems with threads.

If you don't want to be here, do not come here.

It's that simple."

Yes ...it HAS ... mwahah ... Mwahhahahah ... MHWAHHH ... MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHMAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAH

How DREADFULLY deLIGHTful!!! ...

you should have the opition to delete, the mods say that about missing posts out of treads but thats no big problem, theres so much info on here anyway. yeah it may mess a tread up abit but no one worries that much on other grow sites, you just think oh well a deleted account missing posts.

its like dig yourself a hole kind of thing, and lay init, were not gonna help, you dug it lol its tight when you realy want off. for reasons of safty

they chould be abit more nicer about it. sit and sweat we have to!

How would deleting your account here make any difference?
Unless you were dumb enough to sign up on your real name and email address that is linked to your ip and even then its not an offence to be here.
Why worry about it

Even if you deleted your account here you will find that someone somewhere has saved all the details.
Nothing that you do or type on the internet ever goes away

If you have saftey issues in the 1st place you shouldnt be posting anywhere to start with.

This whole saftey deal everybody goes through with using proxy sites & sneaking around is nonsense,people really need to read up on case law before thinking a proxy will keep them safe,or comming to the conclusion that things typed over the internet will be used against you.

Internet transcription used as evidence is a huge grey area in law,most of the time internet communications are relatively safe because its near impossible to prove "who" made the communication to start with.

Law enforcement would need to want you very badly to pursue that avenue of prosecution as it is easily defended by any 2nd year law student,also the circumstances surrounding the type of communications that LEO would possible deem worthy of persuing a lengthy court battle in order to obtain admissibility would have to be drastic.

In other words its allmost impossible to prove who typed what,all they have is the computer address & home address,anybody could have access to the computer.

This does not apply to parents using programs such as "Net Nanny" to spy on their childrens internet activity,which is where many of these "please delete my account" threads originate .

All this fear you guy's spread about internet postings is unfounded & not backed up by any case evidence where a persons internet communications were effectively used to prosecute them.

let me give you an example... say panhead, natmoon, and myself all got our account/posts deleted today... do you not think the near 15,000 posts we have between us just vanishing woulndt mess things up?? thats just 3 people... the site would be worthless if we did that

I always say you should use your head, prior to creating an account- make sure it's actually what you want.

i dont ahve any problems with the current setup as im not sneaking around on the internet, but my question is, if a user was deleted, why would all their posts be deleted? ive been on other forums, where the user acct is deleted and removed but all their posts stay. is that something difficult to do? if a person is banned forever are their threads deleted? would it not be similar?

All info from the internet is stored forever.
Thats why they use encryption and also why high level encryption tools are illegal for public use.
You can download illegal cryp programs from russia.
Deleting your account here wouldn't matter and would be a total waste of time and make no difference.
Why people think they can be arrested for posting at a pot forum is beyond me and it is not admissible as evidence anyway even if they did present it.

no, when people are banned, their posts still stay...

If somebody wants to delete there account they should be able to. That is kinda bullshit and I don't even wanna delete my account. But if someone wants to delete something that they created in the first place they should be able to. Fuckinn Nazis

we're not nazis... we're dictators... nazis are racist

Yeah but why can't we individually delete our accounts. I don't really see what the big deal is or would be if you started allowing members to. Just a thought

i dont make the rules, just enforce them... also, i believe everyone is notified of this when signing up... its been covered before, we dont delete accounts, only ban members, (and your account stays property of RIU)

It's been stated. Deleting an account an all it's connected posts would make threads into illegible Swiss cheese. Have you been to some other big forums that allow this? It makes for extremely difficult reading. Even worse IMO is changing every banned members name to something generic as it renders a thread useless at best.

On the other side of the coin why is account deletion so important,now me personally before i commit to any web forum i lurk for a while,get the lay of the land,see how i feel about the joint,then if im satisfied stuff's not all f-ed up i join.

Whats wrong with paying attention & being damm sure that joining a marijuana forum & posting is something you really want to do,when you jump into something blindly, & without any thought involved beforehand it allways turns out bad,it's the cost of impatience & you've paid the ticket.

It's easier to just click YES at sign up instead of reading that big disclaimer statement.

Wow what a bunch of hypocrites these people are. They advocate decriminalizing marijuana and push legalizing on the basis of individual freedom and liberties yet when it comes to their community they won't let someone to something as simple as delete their account.

Amateurs.

That's the dumbest thing I've read in my entire life.
Clearly the people advocating allowed deletion of user accounts have never moderated a forum before. Otherwise, you'd know that it's not so "simple".
You should give it a shot for a few months and then posit an opinion before you criticize something that you know nothing about.

thats why in order for chris hansen to bust pedos, they have to get them to come to the house. they can just arrest an individual based on internet posting/IM
