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
I think you meant cant,lol,but yes exactly.
Posting any old bullshit is not an offence they still need hard evidencebongsmilie

Well. I'm nothing if not stupid. I give up. I'll put this stupid post here, so all of you guys can have a last laugh at what you helped kill. this is from the CBH forum, which I'm SURE will let me delete my account with no problem.


"Well, guys. I'm not doing the show anymore. Episode 12 is just going to sit on my hdd.

See, I found out that some dumbass website I signed up for last year just so's I could read some stuff won't let me delete my account.

The problem is, when I type my name in google, it pops up "eclipsespilce's marijuana growing profile", with a link. I tried all week to get my account deleted, and finally got raving pissed off, and tried to get my ass kicked off by ranting on the forum.

This was really a shitty idea. I cursed out anyone that responded to my original post, just to try and get reported, but nobody did. they just kept making jokes, and goading me on. I wasn't even ANGRY at them, I was just trying to get noticed, and KICKED OUT.

Someone pointed out, way to late, that this was a bad move.

SO, now, not only does this site declare that I'm growing pot (i'm not...), BUT, now all of my angry, desperate pleas for help, misguided as they were, only made me look like the dickhead I am.

So, I quit. I'm stupid, I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I made it worse. That's what everyone does, ain't it? Just make it worse?

do you think that is fair?

Oh well. Goodbye, and it was cool knowing you."

hey dude could u tell me how to change my name so i could start posting please
it's not possible to change your name... if everyone was about to change their names we would never know who anyones posts belong to and people would use it to evade moderator actions.


sorry bud.

its not that hard.. all you have to do is automaticvally replace all the persons post with a simple pre made "form" post that says "deleted account".. its not hard...it doesnt have to be "thousands of missing posts" etc.

That's the dumbest thing I've read in my entire life
you need to read more then.. seriously

Clearly the people advocating allowed deletion of user accounts have never moderated a forum before.
actually i think ppl shold be allowed to delete there accounts. you never know whn a security issue may arise with someone.. cops do seize PC's you know..or do you?



it's not so "simple".
yea it actually is really easy.


You should give it a shot for a few months and then posit an opinion before you criticize something that you know nothing about
I have ran my own multiple websites and forums for over 10 yrs.. I know a thing or three about webmastering.


I know you werent talking to me, but I just figured i'd quote someone lol.


I just first wanna say that obviously not everyone on here is legal and has med cards.. but lots are..


I see both sides actually.. PPL get paranoid all the time on here and there would be alot of ppl deleting accounts for no reason.. But on the other hand, if there was a valid security reason ( like cops at the door w/ a warrant etc ) and someone needs to delete there account, they have no way to.. which should be taken into consideration IMHO. As I said, cops do sieze PC's.. What if you got busted and your PC was seized..All they have to do is click on the rollitup favorite link and BAM there logged in as you.. they can see all your posts and even a day by day journal of your grow w/ PICS!.. anyone thought about the possibility of the cops seizing a pc and then using that users account to entrap or get info on other members etc? be it by PM or w/e ?

Im just saying, its not a cut and dry issue.. both sides have valid arguments..

Wow, I had forgotten about this thread!
You make some very valid points, Justatoker.
My contention is, regardless of how easy or difficult it is to delete users from vBulletin ...the site policy is that accounts will never be removed. It states this very clearly in the terms when you sign up. I know people usually tend not to read terms, but they are there for a reason.
I understand that if you get raided and your PCs are seized, you might be in a world of shit. If people are worried about privacy, in that case, I would suggest never accessing this site without a proxy and to always log out when you are done posting and or reading. Also, this site should not be in anyone's favorites and you should always clear your browser history/cache.
If the police came and seized my PC right now, all I would have to do is close my browser and there would be no evidence that I have ever even visited this site.
If you are raided I would think incriminating info on a PC would be the least of your problems. They're going to take plants before they take a PC.
I guess all I'm saying is, if users are that paranoid about privacy, they shouldn't be a member of this site in the first place. If anyone is taking responsibility to sign up then they need to take their own responsibility to secure their own PC. The onus should not be on RIU to cover users tracks.

And you wonder why people people want to delete their account, Jesus people , you are rude most of the time and would rather hurl insults then advice, I too am leaving, how by getting a new IP, why? again your rude no other reason, The differences between us is you grow weed! thats all, woopy coon shit any fool can do that, but to be kind , you know KIND like the weed , maybe a little patient, like when you grow it, possibly a little knowledge to pass on, maybe just a touch of class.
The only thing I learned on this site is that most of you are just plain juveniles. Now go ahead be rude let me have it just like the rest of the poor souls just looking for some understanding, u people rock!

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!
absolutely correct im a web designer and i find it obsurd that users dont have an option to delete acount i also need to delete acount firstly my only problem is i want to change my user name but am unable to do this so i now have to create a new acount but because i have this acount linked to my email i have now got to create a brand new email just to create a new acount i was really wanting to start a grow journal as i have a few things going on and have had a few problems over the time and wanted to list all probs and what i did to solve it but it seems a bit much to do just to change my user name and cant even remove my old one
