Is it possible to get all my posts deleted before deleting my account?

Hi,

someone I know in the real world has discovered my profile. I really need my posts deleting (I know that deleting my account won’t delete my posts). Is this possible please? I just need to leave and not be able to be searched.

This happened to… someone I know, several years ago, who wanted all posts deleted as well as the account. At that time, it apparently required the MN team to manually delete each individual post and there were a lot of posts. To their credit, they did it, but unless their system has changed, or there's some kind of legal requirement for them to comply (I don't know if there is or not), or some compelling reason you can give, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some reluctance.

I’m happy to do it! It’s just I can’t select delete. Can I be given the delete option please?

It might be quicker to email MNHQ, OP. I know they have done it in the past.

Or I wonder if they can retrospectively name-change all your previous posts to something anodyne like 'User95' or something?

@MNHQ

I don’t think that @ is actually a mumsnet one.

OP, you need to email them to ask and explain the situation. They’ll most likely want to ask you a few questions about what’s happened, so best thst it’s private. Good luck.
