Sorry I've been quite busy and only been able to get online now to do this request

Can you just confirm you want your account to be deleted as it's irreversible and I can see you're still browsing OH atm 

Btw, quoted stuff from other users isn't included in the overall deletion. Just your profile and the posts you make.

On the latter I've seen that happen with someone that even their quoted posts were deleted. How isn't that possible?

I think there's a bit of confusion about what we offer so I'll explain

When a user requests to have their profile deactivated/deleted from OH, we delete it from the backend so no personal info is stored on our side anymore. Anything personal linking you to your account is removed permanently, so for example your posts will be posted under Guest -- as can be seen here

This is mainly for those worried about having their personal and sensitive info on websites they don't use anymore

I can only assume that someone else who requested their profile be removed, asked a Mod to delete some posts / quotes beforehand as that isn't an automatic process from our end

Thank you for explaining.  But that means ud have to link where ever my posts are quoted to ask them to be deleted?

Yeah unfortunately

We'd rather not permanently delete posts from our forum as that would be thousands and thousands of content, so this is all we can offer which wouldn't break any GDPR guidelines

So if there's anything in particular you'd like removing you would have to request that first to the Mods before getting your profile deleted. 

Will do and probably report back before considering deactivation. Thank you!

But one more thing. How come that the posrs aren't deleted automatically? Is that something by the invision community or something

Edit: I see the clown is gone now.

I am here to report someone who clowned this comment:

I don't think anyone should be allowed to clown a comment about someone's personal experience. I know it's about Mina as well but you never know with trolls on here.

Can all my responses here be deleted. Including ones that quote it (I mean to delete the quote part that people have quoted me on.)
