A user can request that everything they ever wrote on EF be deleted if they so choose.

| | Re: Deleting My Account | Quote: | |  | | | What else should fora be for, than interesting debates...You can only save so many expats from their lowly 120k, brown sugar drought, dishwasher detergent chaos and puppy hotel search. And agony
We are open to positive ideas of improvement - bitcoins for rep points, or new subforums... EF Tinder (Finkum, I am winking at ya!), etc. | | | | | FairTindrum here  About the forum I'm sure everyone complained already but it's the need to have something more than "Thanks" when you want to react to a comment. I dont want to thank them, I want sometime to react to a good word play, joke, idea without making a comment  ) I know it sounds like FB sort of a thing but it isnt.. even in the year 2005-2006 we had forums that had those buttons with a smiley or to give a note ,etc ... so if it is technically possible I hope it'll be done one day
Yess yess I can imagine that velvety part of this forum the Adult section  )) Subforum - Send nudes    I can imagine the trouble coming out of it "hello , he didnt even give me an orgasm!" "She wouldnt even leave a tiny light on!" me:"ok ok now, kiss again, no no not like that , use some tongue"

Nope because they have all been deleted along with all the PMs they’d sent.

You are pulling the 'Innocent retired school teacher card'  | | | | | That’s really inappropriate and overly aggressive. Why should posts that I thank be examined in public when posts thanked by other people, including mods are not. Tit for tat? And this is really not for discussion in the open forum. And you think there’s more openness and friendliness now? Illusion.
Aren’t personal attacks forbidden?

I still have not directly answered the question so don't see how it could be a personal attack.
