Deleting accounts
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2015 10:16 am
A while ago we decided that we would no longer delete entire accounts. There are a couple of reasons for this…
- It causes some performance issues for the server
- It spoils many threads in which a poster has participated
- It is disrespectful to those who have engaged in conversation (thread) with the poster
- It makes some/many of those threads meaningless if they are brought up by a search in future
- Thanks to services like waybackmachine etc., the posts will still remain visible to the world for anyone who cares to search for long enough
Thanks
