Answer 7

Nah mate you can't delete any account. The max you can do is permanently suspend it. You have to ask a moderator to do it.

Answer 8

I want to delete my Sent Messages. Asking for this feature for so long! xx

Answer 9

Deleting account will mess with other people's medal count. That's why there is no such option.

Answer 10

people could then come along, cheat, delete all the evidence, and get away clean?
so no, there will not be a delete account option

Answer 11

@sleepyhead314 evidences like??

Answer 12

the evidence of cheating, we already have enough of a cheating problem here on Openstudy, and allowing people to delete accounts would just make it worse

Answer 13

I am saying to delete the account, not to delete their names from medal tally of others.

Answer 14

I am not getting you actually. Cheating?

Answer 15

deleting account = deleting previous asked questions = deleting any posts that showed them cheating

Answer 16

Wow, I said by deleting that, the user cannot log in to his account, but to not delete the information he has made here on OS.

Answer 17

That would simply be suspending account. Deleting account means deleting every information related to the account that includes comments, posts, medal, messages etc.

Answer 18

So, I can suspend account Okay?

Answer 19

So, I should find a moderator now. :P

Answer 20

You can ask a mod to do that for you.
Yep

Answer 21

If you're too distracted by OS, some suggestions.

Change password without looking, ask a mod for suspension, or get blocksite :)

Answer 22

I think you took it very seriously @iambatman . :P

Answer 23

I'm never serious, after all I'm a dude in a bat costume ;)

Answer 24

If that is the case, then you would not have been here to justify that. :P

Answer 25

The Smart Score system is interlinked, so if you delete an account it would change the smart scores of other people. That is one reason why they do not allow deletions. Though it would be nice if they allowed closing an account.

Answer 26

I agree. :)
