I need to remove an old thread I may or may not have said something on. Thing is, I can't find the bloody thing. If I close down my MN account and connecting email address with all threads that I had featured on be removed? (I remember when Riven first left all her threads were just removed).

Anyone shine any light on this? It's rather urgent.

Why not contact MNHQ?

Or do a search on yourself and request deletion of all you've said?

PurveyorOfBaloney · 28/07/2011 22:30

Ask MNHQ for help finding it.

If it was in chat it may well have gone anyway, they only last for a certain time frame.

AgentZigzag · 28/07/2011 22:30

Maybe report your thread to MNHQ and tell them what's happened, I'm sure they'll be able to help Smile

Can you put some key words in a search of your nickname?

faverolles · 28/07/2011 22:31

You could try contacting mnhq and asking them to remove all posts under that username?

Valpollicella · 28/07/2011 22:32

MNHQ can retrospectively change all your posts to another name, if that would be any help?

Do email them and explain - they are very good at helping out where they can

Alternatively you can ask them to delete all your previous posts, but they aren't keen on doing that as a rule, as it can leave gaping holes in conversations if you were prolific.

Good luck and hope all will be ok

I've searched my nickname (obv not this one) searched the particular words, and the particular words of a link I may or may not have posted but it's coming up with nothing.

Think it was in Chat at a push it was AIBU.

Oh, and actually answering your q in op - closing your account won't remove all the posts under that account - it will just prevent you posting under that name/s under that email account

BallsamIBusted · 28/07/2011 22:36

Ok have reported to MNHQ. WIll change back to normal nick for the time being. Will they get back to me via email or inbox me to this name (which surely I won't receive? Or will I?)

OP posts:
Tchootnika · 28/07/2011 22:37

Inbox should relate to password rather than nickname (and your email -surely?) - so you should get messages...

BehindLockNumberNine · 28/07/2011 22:38

Don't posts in chat automatically disappear after a time anyway? Only, I recall people starting a thread with the words 'posting here so this disappears'....
That may be why you cannot find it?
