Nairaland Forum

...and even with ban because of Garri remember God dey!

just repeat your query in google . com. You will find at least 10 options

And I thought they came from an adult site i visited, not knowing it was right here on nairaland. See below for my interaction with the idiots:

Always deactivate online profiles you no longer need e.g facebook, twitter, Hi5 etc.

Nairaland Email was spoofed, fine! Somehow they managed to lay hold of our e-mail addresses. Possible work around include setting up another email or deleting all private posts. That is well understood.

What about those of us that do not want to change our emails but want to exit the system altogether? Is there no other way e.g deactivation? If not, can you kindly profer the reason why?

Also, I noted that I did not sign any contract when setting up my account e.g by ticking an "Agree" box. In the light of that what is my right concerning my posts, are they mine to do as i please or do they now belong to NL.

Once again, I am showing how this is connected with the topic, so it will be unfair if this is hidden as well.

Thirdly, some of these 'bad eggs' must have got to know us through certain threads we participated in, and while its fine to delete our post and leave a '.' or 'deleted', it would serve us better to have our posts totally hidden away as if it was hidden by a Mod. So why can't we have the ability to hide our posts so we no longer appear on threads we dislike.

Finally, what is the real problem with account deactivation??

I will appreciate if these concerns can be addressed here in line with the advice from Seun about these 'bad eggs' so others can learn from it.

Thank you

Finally, what is the real problem with account deactivation, and how do we block certain fellas sending private emails, and those we suspect of being fraudulent from viewing our activities ?

My post was hidden?? So its that easy to hide a post and yet you allow us rant and rave unnecessarily. Kindly let me save you the trouble, provide me the hide button and i'll gladly hide all my contributions myself. Then we'll move on to deactivation. See how you guys are beginning to piss me off, after being civil for so long.

Dear Seun,

1. Why were we not told upon signing up about the opt in but no opt out policy of Nairaland?
2. What is the challenge with having a deactivation button for user profiles?
3. Why is it impossible to totally delete ones contribution to a thread and yet Mods can do the exact same thing (hiding a post)?
4. Why do we keep being asked the reason why we want to deactivate?
5. Who has rights over the contents posted on Nairaland? Is it NL, the poster or both?
6. Is it impossible to deactivate accounts on NL? If yes, why?
7. PLEASE READ ME MY RIGHTS.

Summary: I understand the work around people suggest, and the rationale behind them. However you have to admit that people want to have control over their lives. You can't force someone not to commit suicide. People just want to know that option is there to vanish, if they are taking too much heat. I did not tick any contract while opening this account, so I should have reasonable control over my entries.


P.S
r231, just as you have the ability to hide posts, I'd like to be able to hide my own posts. Thanks.

Hi Moodie, did you get my reply?

No, I did not. As an aside: If there is no official process of deletion/deactivation, can you please permanently ban my profile...FOREVER?

Dear Mods,

What: Please i need to deactivate/delete (NOT MODIFY) my NL account

When: with immediate effect.

How: I want ALL my posts to be inaccessible to the public, but i do understand if there is a need to keep them in your system for up to six months. Also my handle and profile details such as my email and password should cease to exist on this forum.

Why: Serious privacy concerns


Kindly treat as very urgent.
Thanks
