If you delete your account are posts still visible?

Just that really. If I go and click delete account will it delete threads I have started etc?

Anyone?? MN wont delete a thread and I really want it gone so prepared to delete my account if that works instead.

sorrry, they remain visible.

Have you actually asked Mumsnet to delete the thread in question and explained why? I.E. the implications for you if it was seen by the parties involved?

I’ve requested a thread deletion before as I realised I’d probably said more than originally intended when responding to comments and they took it down. Or they may agree to redact the specific parts that might make it identifiable.

What used to happen was the thread would stay but all of your posts would say ‘message withdrawn’. No idea if that is still the case on the new platform

If you just delete your account then no, your messages won't be deleted. You'd need to specifically ask MN to delete your entire posting history.

You can ask them to delete all of your posts. They have done that for people before.

Yes the great laqueen purge - so it’s possible but on request

This basically.

If MN won’t delete the thread in question just ask them to move it to 30 days only. That’s what I’ve previously done

Thanks all. They removed it anyway for me but noted about not deleting posts for future reference. Will head back now and try to remember how to spell my original username lol
