<div class="bbWrapper">If I want my account to be completely deleted or, instead, if I want my username to be changed, the account &quot;closed&quot; and my posts deleted, who do I have to ask? Unlike on other forums, unfortunately I can't do that here myself.</div>

Accounts are not deleted as it messes up our database and we need them for our records.

You can simply log out and not return on this account or I can permban it though we prefer not to as we cherish our members too much to make it tough for them to return to this site if they change their mind in future.

I am not sure why the posts here even matter? You don't even have that many here.

<div class="bbWrapper">For reasons of privacy I either need this account to be completely deleted or the nickname changed, to assure that it can't be &quot;tracked back&quot; to my actual identity. If other people don't care about their privacy, that's none of my concern, but I do, and that's why I asked if it's possible.</div>

Well, even if your username is changed you won't achieve privacy. Your account won't be deleted by any admin, and even if you're banned you won't achieve privacy either. Getting banned only means you have no access to your profile and you can't post on the forum. If privacy is your main concern, check the page to see if that can help with what you need to keep "private".

If you used a username that can be used to "track you down" (as you put it) then I suggest you be more careful next time on any other site. Also, your e-mail and ip adresses (which are the most dangerous data in terms of privacy) are something that the staff doesn't publicize. They are private and never was such data given to anyone other than the staff.

But like everyone else said, if your account is to be deleted, it has do be done by one of the admins, namely Zise, though it has been required many times before and never done so I wouldn't get my hopes up. Anyway, send him a PM.

PS- I know of no forum where you can delete your account like that yourself btw.
