Post by: J0hn on May 03, 2024, 02:03:16 PM

I have searched my profile account settings to delete my account without success. Could someone please guide me to deleting my account?

I'm sorry I haven't responded until today as I've been away on holiday and still trying to catch up - we have other websites that I deal with the daily running of.

The simple answer is only admin can delete accounts and then only in exceptional circumstances.

That's fine. Why only in exceptional circumstances? It seems very unusual for the user not to have control over one's account. Regardless, I would like my account deleted, please. I have suffered multiple cyberattacks in recent months from accounts that I no longer use or require. They use them as backdoors into your email or other accounts, and I'd rather not bait them.

That comes under exceptional circumstances and I'm very sorry you're going through as I have gone through it on Facebook. The police were involved on a few occasions as it's got that serious.
