Probably a dumb question but I've been through the entire user control panel and can't figure out how to delete my account. Any help would be aprpreciated.

Forum accounts can not be deleted. We have to keep and maintain these records as they're needed to track and prevent people from using multiple user names. We never use the information in our forums to contact users or members.
 
Hi. I hardly ever visit. There are lots of great people here but it's the few not so nice ones that keep me from visitng.

I contacted customer service last week but never heard anything. I'll try again.

Thanks,

I wonder if, since it seems like you can't actually delete your account, SNM/customer service could just reset your password to something different so that you can't log in? That way, you are technically not a member anymore but SNM still has the record of your username.

I recently requested to have my account deleted from another forum, but after a kind note from the site administrator I opted to change my settings instead so that I cannot not receive emails, PM's, or any notifications from the site, and I simply don't go there. This preserves the context of threads I've posted in, which seemed fair and reasonable to me. I just simply don't go to the site anymore. I HTH and I'm very sorry you feel you need to delete your account, but I do understand.

ETA that I, too, hope you will reconsider. When I decided to excuse (for lack of a better word) myself from the other forum, the site administrator pointed out that I might change my mind one day and the option to change my settings will allow me to come back should I ever choose to do so. Right now I can't imagine ever wanting to post there again, but you never know. Of course, I haven't invested as much time in that forum as I have in Cathe's ;). You're right, there are some real snips on this board, but sadly, I guess they exist on every board. I think Cathe and her workouts are awesome, and I have made a few lifelong friends here. So... I guess I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I do hope you'll reconsider and hang out here with the nice girls! :D

Hi SNM,

I understand what you're saying, but I think it should be made clear to all when starting up an account that it cannot be deleted, that it is permanent. There are a lot of sites like this one and you can't seem to delete your account for any of them, and none of them make that clear when you register the first time.

Thanks.
 
I'm not sure but i recall seeing a setting in the user cp that you can select certain members and ignore posts or threads by them.

I'm sorry a few bad apples have made you want to delete your account.
 
Become a lurker, like some of us :)

Seriously, it really is getting hard to opt out and delete accounts online, Facebook is the most recent and public of them, but there are forums that I haven't logged into in years, and they are still active.

Sorry you are leaving, but I understand, it's why I lurk 99% of the time.
