Or do like a member from years ago and change the password (and email I think?) so the temptation isn't there. I know there are ways around that but it makes it more difficult and less worth the effort to some. |
When I wanted a break from the site 7-8 years ago, I just changed my password to random letters and numbers.

If a fine that's based on an actual law would be the end of the site, wouldn't it be prudent to to do stuff to prevent it from happening? I believe antagonizing the person who would be responsible for that is pretty much the opposite one should do.

-Log off. Ignore it.
I have a feeling a new meme was born.
At the firedepartment...
"Sir, we got an emergency call. A building is burning. Thousands of lifes in danger!"
"Drop the call. Ignore it"
"But, Sir?"
"Too much work."
At any Forum on the web...
"There is that troll again. Got several reports. Wanna permaban him this time?"
"No, just log off and ignore it."
"But this time he posted dickpics all over the threads."
"No, that's too much work."
"Isn't it more work to clea ...hello? You still on?"

They can't even created a block button for non premium users, do you really expect them to delete your account?

Sometimes I wish I were permabanned. There's stuff I posted on here and even named names. One friend googled his own name and found me on here!
I'm fairly positive that this site is the reason I wasn't elected Governor of Georgia in 2018.

Since not letting me edit my post let me continue. I'm sure my profile is on one of their servers but doubt public has access to it. No my goal isn't to get VGC fined or shutdown. I just like the ability to leave a site and wipe out my history if needed. Of course this site doesn't matter as much as personal info because most people operate under alias but I think it should be available to anyone. If wiping entire history out is unfeasible then option to at least hide or delete your profile from database. Sure you can set your profile to private or friends only which could limit public access. It isn't as big as deal to me as it might seem. I just like being semi "in control" of my own data. Right now it just feels like credit reporting agency where the burden of everything is put on the person and they have little to no control on what the agency put out unless you go through lengthy appeal process. Basically it seems the burden is on the user than the company.
But anyways I'd like to see if you can pull my old facebook account. If you need more info let me know. I was born in July of 82.

I didn't say I would be able to find your profile - I was simply stating the obvious fact that once you post anything on the internet, you leave a digital footprint forever. I'm 100% positive if I wanted to spend the money, I could use one of those "truth finder" type websites and they'd have the ability to track down your profile. I am willing to bet that there are companies similar to Google (whether they are operating legally or not, is outside the scope here), that have web crawlers constantly scanning Facebook (and Twitter and every other social media site) - storing profile information as they come across it... ...and do you think these companies get an email from Facebook saying, "Hey - Seth asked us to delete his Facebook profile, so you need to clear that information from your server, as well!" |
Yea, my profile was made public back in the 2011 or 2012 when facebook reset everyone's privacy policies to default public. That was the last straw before I quit and requested deletion so I'm sure some company out there went haywire during that time and screen captured everyone's profile.
Anyways, I just like to have the feeling of semi in control of my data when in fact one has very little control. I just want something to be considered for this site that is basic function of most forums/sites I've belonged to. So in future just think about ways to implement it. Perhaps not wiping all posts out but at least letting someone go ghost such as their profile no longer shows up in the user database. That way only way someone can see posts of them is if old threads are bumped which doesn't happen often. I like this site but just wish had more control over my profile.
