I’ve decided that I would like to delete my SD account, but I don’t know how to do it.
You can’t. Just leave, delete bookmarks and cookies and never come back.
bye… why so angry?
In any city, in any country, go to the first mental asylum you can find. Say to the receptionist “I would like to delete my straight dope account.” They will tell you that you merely have to leave, just stop posting. Do not listen. Persist. Eventually the attendant will sigh and lead you to a hall. The walls are huge. Voices entreat you with pleasures you have never experienced. Do not listen for if you hesitate for even a moment you will be devoured. You will descend a staircase where violent surgeries are played on the walls. Eventually you will enter a room. A young woman is there, bleeding and wrapped in bandages. Say only, and I mean only, “I would like to delete my SDMB account.” She will moan and unwrap her bandages. Her scars ans wounds will make you want to wretch. Do Not move, do not show any signs of discomfort, or you will be consumed in an agony that lasts a millennium. If you maintain your composure your account will be deleted and you will be deposited on a Slovenian hillside. speak to no one about this and the things in your ear will stop screaming after about three weeks. This is the Holder of the account deletion.
When come back from learning foreign languages, bring foreign pie.
You skipped the part where you walk in, sing the chorus to “Alice’s Restaurant,” then walk back out.
Like the others said, you can stop posting…as simple as that.
But your previous posts remain for time immemorial…ready to jump back every time someone bumps a thread and will HAUNT you until the end of days.
It was in the smallprint of the User Agreement. What? You didn’t read that bit?
The mods, when asked, have put folks on hiatus before. Some find it easier not to post under such circumstances.
Also bring PIE, if you happen to learn that language.
Might I suggest following the example of this poster?
We don’t delete accounts, and we delete posts (except for rules violations like spam or trolling) only for exceptional reasons.
If you wish to stop posting, just stop posting.
I’m going to close this.
