You can always just self delete by not ever coming back.

In the forum world you can't just delete a membership as all your posts are tied in with so many threads it would cause a database issue. You can either not log on again or have the admin ban you from the site.

I believe a members name may be deleted but all his posts remain. There was one member banned who no longer appears in the member listing but his postings in various threads are still there.

When a member is banned their name no longer appears in the membership listing but their posts still show their name. This is the functionality of forum boards - vbulletin being the most common.

Not 100% sure but knucklehead randy444 has not been back for about a month, his disrespectful remarks,useless posts, and comments made to only start shit will not be missed.

Not sure if the new admin was the one to do it ( many members thank you if it was you) but the site is much better without the shit starters.

I looked at a few of the OP posts to see if randy444 (or any of his other chicken shit names he hide behind) had anything to do with him wanting to be delete,but didn't see any.

i know of one member who had all his post deleted. the problem becomes all threads you responded to and those who responded to yours would sound like someone talking to themselves

Mr. Black,
Not mentioning any names, but all his posts are gone along with his user name, you can still see the detritus left behind in his wake, good riddance. :twisted: :twisted:

To my knowledge he deleted his posts not the Administration. In fact Admin1 posted a message asking members not to do that so as to avoid the confusion you mention.

To get back to the request of the OP I believe, despite posts to the contrary, that he can be deleted from the member roster so you can not PM him or look up his profile and posts, but his posts in threads remain so as not cause confusion to those reading the threads.

Perhaps Admin1 ir the Admin will clarify this point.

What was worse is members who sided up with him and his ilk in various obnoxious threads, a particular Capitan comes to mind. Or maybe he was him, too. If not, they thought it was cool to be obnoxious.

Actually, the problem was lack of transparency with the poster. Banned from establishments and then trashing them. I know, because it happened to my establishment and others I know. Misinformation to boost up establishments that are new and/or undeserving.
But what keeps these deviants going, is the other members who take their BS as gospel and pile on.
