What if I had died, and my wife asked you to delete my account?
Given none of us know you IRL and we'd have no way of verifying that was the case, why would we act on that basis? It's not reasonable to combine keeping anonymity by using a false name and only giving out what information you choose, and expecting us to take account of personal circumstances we don't have any way of knowing. Until that post I didn't even know you
had a wife.
The procedure is simple, we don't delete accounts.
NOTE, given that the world is currently governed by social media. and you allow Search Engine bots to scrape this site, I can easily see why people would want to be erased.
Should we...not do this? Isn't this why we allow people to create a profile and don't require any information to be shared that they don't want to? Is what you're saying here is that people are giving out information they don't want to share and we should be responsible for them regretting this decision? Even if so, we have no restrictions on people editing their posts so that stuff can be removed at any time at your discretion, all deleting the account would do is remove the ability to make new posts and also remove your ability to make changes to your posts.
