a Question for ozpol admin..
Sep 5^th, 2018 at 8:34am

it has been mentioned elsewhere that if a member asks for their membership to be deleted from ozpol..

that fd has the right to refuse to do so...

Quote:

Try telling FD to delete your account here. Many have and he is right to ignore the demand.

is this correct that once you register..

you are there for life..... Angry

if we are at the mercy of the owner of the site..[?]

should this not be explained in the declaration you agree to when you sign up?....

It should cods and I know of the two of which you speak- they have already overstepped the boundaries as per their rights as admin- they would never assume to invade my privacy the way they invaded yours via email- a simple reasonable request such as you have asked of them should be complied with- I dont belive you are in any danger however- but thats not the point- you should have rights ad btw what can they glean from just your email address- well maybe nothing- maybe- but have they? because some ppl use their real names in their email address just not thinking when they create it-

I deleted a few accounts in the early days. Every single one of them came back and asked for it to be reinstated. They were just having a bit of a hissy fit, which they quickly got over. Unfortunately it is not possible to reinstate them.

The only reason people have for asking for it to be deleted is lack of self control. My time is worth more than that.

Easiest thing to do would be for freediver to turn the option back on so members can delete their own accounts if they want to. It was in your Profile if I remember correctly.

I know the option is there because it was briefly available a few years back (might have turned itself back on after a forum upgrade?) but it was turned back off again.

thank you for that feedback... maybe if someone wishes to be removed... they could get an ARE YOU SURE...notice like you do when you exit something.....

what about in a case where it hasnt been used for years???.....I understand you have better things to do fd... but in my case you also have my real name...living where I do I would not be that hard to track down...

I know I am not in any danger......but what if you sold this site????.......

shouldnt it be my wishes that matter?....if I stuff up too bad....its my stuff up..

Technically.......incorrect. All new Member registrants are manually approved at Monk's joint......unlike here where any idiot pest can register and they have.....automatic Membership.

I have no need to be careful Agnes. I will be truthful, as always. I have not met cods and viewed any ID like a driver's licence with a photo, or a passport....so I can't say for sure. It may be her real name, I cannot say for certain.

what does that mean?????.....is my name chiseled in stone or something..

if fd says he has deleted then so can monk....

the fact someone wants to be reinstated is tough....

but the point is FD CAN AND DID....

my name should not matter....

the point is I no longer wish to be associated with monks site.....

surely I should have some control over that?..

isnt that the same as monk not allowing someone to join???>... doesnt he have that RIGHT?...

well where are my rights?
