We offer three different account deletion options:

• Do It Yourself
• Forget My Name
• Scorch the Ground I've Tread

Option 1: Do It Yourself
This is the simplest, fastest, and most straightforward option, and — as it says on the tin — you can do it yourself.

This is the option to choose if you simply want to delete your access to the forum. Every post you have ever made will still be on the board for anyone to read and respond to.

Be aware that your username will remain on your posts. This will be the username you registered with and not the display name you may have chosen later.

To delete your account, open your account settings (https://cephiro.psynos.net/index.php?action=profile;area=account) and click on the Action tab to find the 'Delete this account' option.

You will need to enter your password to complete the deletion.

Once you've done that, all that will be left of your account is a guest account with your old username

Option 2: Forget My Name
This is the first of the two moderator assisted account deletions.  It's very similar to the Do It Yourself option, where all of your posts and quotes of your posts stay intact for other members to read and interact with, but your username is changed in the database to Vanished Member and all quotes of your posts will also be edited to reflect Vanished Member as the name of the member quoted, essentially merging all of your posts with any other posts from  deleted accounts that chose the same deletion method.

Editing quotes is a manual process, so this may take several days to complete one the process is started.

Option 3: Scorch the Ground I've Tread
This is the most comprehensive deletion option, but we do not recommend it because of how it will affect other members on the forum.

This option is a full deletion of every post you have ever made, every topic you have ever started, and a manual deletion of every quote that was ever made of any of your posts.

Obviously deleting every post will derail and likely remove discussions that other members may be enjoying. But you have the right to be forgotten, and we will do our best to remove every trace of your posts on the forum.
