I was a MOD on the site, we had a disagreement (me + smod) and I got reported to admin. Basically I then asked for my account to be deleted and I would not come back sort of thing. I was then Suprised that my request for account deletion was denied. On a forum I ran I happily delete people shoudl they ask this of me.

Anyhow, the only Post I did was a Good bye type post and left. I have changed everyting in the profile, password and email etc and deleted the Fav - best I can do really - I would have preffered the account to be gone for good (peace of mind sort of thing) but never mind. If they removed all my posts - the section I modded in would be nearly empty to be honest. I suppose if I was a Nasty person I could have edited every single one of my posts (1000 odd) and removed all info from them...but this is not me..

My main question really was that I am sure there is a law of Data Protection and my infomation if you like is held on that computer - I thought maybe it was in my right to ask for the account to be deleted but alas it seems not. Oh well - thanks for the info anyhooo...
