In what circumstances would this happen MNHQ?

[DameFellatioNelson]

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.

Well that didn't work. They just deleted my cliff Richard tight pants picture and comment!

Chipping Its not like I'm going to keep going and checking back through 23 pages to see of they are gone. Rather not re read all that

Just advance search yourself,SP.

I know of one poster they deleted everything for. Of course she then came back, turned out to be an emotional vampire, was banned, came back under several other names still spouting shit so now I'm very meh and about the deletions.

That said despite all the drama and lies I don't doubt the basis of her story was untrue and that she was having a genuinely crap time and therefore see why that user name was deleted. It's just a pity she is an absolute loon who refused to get help and hurt a lot of people along the way.

And the most random thing is just as I finished typing that someone on TV said the user name that was deleted!!!

You can request to have all your past posts deleted. It's a long and arduous job for tech but if you give a good enough reason then they will do it. It doesn't automatically imply troll.

Didn't the erm... relatively well known poster... erm... who may or may not have known she was pregnant, have all her posts deleted? Or have I imagined that?

I've never seen it happen 'live' but quite a lot of zombie threads have all of a poster's comments removed. Maybe it happened more often a few years ago?

Now i'm intrigued. Can someone PM me and let me know the goss.

I'm intrigued too.

Also a nosey fucker.

TDWP
Cod
TLES

And a couple of others have had whole usernames deleted.

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

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

I dont know any of them

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.

SP, deleting that Cliff picture was entirely necessary and reasonable

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.

I luff tech, he debollocked me.

I had to beg though.

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

Dilemma, RnB (though back now)

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

hides from image of ususal's bedollocking>>

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

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

Bedollocking sounds like an ancient ceremony!

We'll just repeat what Olivia would say;

TSSDNCOP.
