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.

In the all the Years I've been on here,I've only ever seen it happen a handful of times.

I thought it was too, usual.

I thought it was quite difficult to get all your posts deleted.

Maybe some of the posts were actionable?

MNHQ once offered to change my nickname on all my posts, because someone malicious had put my real name and my nickname together on her blog. I decided not to accept their offer unless there seemed to be any unpleasant consequences, and there weren't, so I kept my nickname.

I did ask them to do that and they refused but they did agree to change all posts in a certain nickname to an entirely different nickname.

I can only think of one case where there didn't seem to be a good reason for it, but then again, we don't really know why posters make the request, I suppose.
