In what circumstances would this happen MNHQ?

A poster's entire history being deleted 'at poster's request'.

I realise it has happened when there have been serious issues regarding someone's personal privacy, being outed or somehow being made to feel vulnerable/threatened in RL as a result of what they posted on MN, but why else?

I thought your policy was not to delete posts (providing they fell were within the TALK guidelines) unless they seriously compromised someone's privacy or safety, or there was potentially a legal issue.

SideBalls would make a great user name...

What Ria said. I've seen reams of poster-specific, deleted posts on fairly dignified threads involving innocuous subjects. Very mysterious!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/10/2013 23:05

And so you should be...

I need to ask tech a huge favour ,but I'm a bit scared.

I had all my post deleted a few years ago.

I can't really say why. But when I emailed MNHQ they were brilliant and did it within a few hours.

We'll just repeat what Olivia would say;

TSSDNCOP.

Please do contact us if there's anything that you're concerned about though. We really do love to hear from you.

I had all my old posts under a 4 yearn changed due to abusuve co snooping

Portofino · 04/10/2013 22:32

It certainly doesn't imply troll. I know a couple of people of people who requested their posting histories deleted due to stalkers/interference.

Dilemma, RnB (though back now)

Riven's past posts were all namechanged, and I think Xenia's too at some point.

usualsuspect · 04/10/2013 22:28

I luff tech, he debollocked me.

I had to beg though.

I didn't know you could do the name changing thing.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/10/2013 22:26

Didn't someone once have all their name changed to something else.

I would imagine that would be trickeir than deleting all posts.

Look at me, all concernful of Tech.

SP, deleting that Cliff picture was entirely necessary and reasonable

Uh no, I think I've got myself confused

TDWP wasn't all she seemed.
cod had history deleted
SB had history deleted, but I think she was also someone else who was quite well known - and hasnt had history deleted.

SPsTwerkingNineToFive · 04/10/2013 22:11

I dont know any of them

MrsManshape · 04/10/2013 22:11

I know the first two, but the third has me stumped...

ClaraOswald · 04/10/2013 22:10

I thought it happened if they asked MNHQ to delete everything associated with their account when de-regging.

LtEveDallas · 04/10/2013 22:07

TDWP
Cod
TLES

And a couple of others have had whole usernames deleted.
