Profile deletion - possible?

[hornet]

Per the title, is it possible to delete or permanently disable a profile?

Posts won't be deleted, profile can be banned...

If you'd like to action this please either ask the mods to ban you or email me - [e-mail]

Thanks

It always used to be that, if you were so inclined, the poster was responsible for going through and deleting their posts. Being banned or having your profile removed doesn't actually get rid of the history.

eg Raf Dug (because, why not )... profile http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0...
Sample post http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Whist the poster has the ability to delete his own posts individually he's unable to remove/edit any that are quoted by other members.

Would it be worth PH considering implementing some sort of time limit / restriction on how long users have to go back & edit posts or even stop post deletion by user like most other forums do?

There have been a few threads on here, particularly in SP&L, where people tend not to like the advice / replies they're given and choose to flounce by deleting their posts a few days later leaving the thread relatively pointless without any quotes.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. We'll discuss it with the moderators and see what they think.

Best wishes
