Profile deletion disabled on this site?

I can't seem to find it in my profile the ability to delete a profile.

Jade Elizabeth · July 28, 2009, 12:10:27 AM

Why would you want to do that darls? That's just silly.

What the hell, Jeff?

I was just reading over a complaint from the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) and a report from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and something that stood out to me was the section on Facebooks account deactivation and deletion so wanted to see how SMF was handling this as Facebook is in contravention of Canada's privacy law PIPEDA.

So was curious how SMF was handling this option. Apparently in the case of Facebook "The Commissioner's office have been working with representatives of Facebook on this issue. Facebook have 30 days to show evidence that they are making an effort to comply with the recommendations."

There is an apparently straightforward option in Profile > Actions > Delete this account. I wouldn't try it though.

Do you see that on this site?

Norv · July 28, 2009, 12:58:42 AM

Sure thing. By "Actions" I mean the third tab, on the Profile page.

Jade Elizabeth · July 28, 2009, 12:59:42 AM

SMF is not a Canadian based business, therefore those issues wouldnt apply unless they apply here.

I know what you're talking about but it's not there for me.

Neither is Facebook.

It's karma, dear.

Here you go, Jeff. Have a blast

Jade Elizabeth · July 28, 2009, 01:05:51 AM

Well like I tell the people in Europe trying to sue me for the same deal: Get yourself a lawyer here, and I'll see you in court

.

Of course, one day they will, and I'll have to go buy a dress or something

SleePy · July 28, 2009, 01:06:44 AM

Jeff the link is indeed there. I even checked with a test user that has the same permissions as you.

Jeff Lewis · July 28, 2009, 01:07:55 AM

Here you go JBlaze, learn to read, it's not there for me.

Jade Elizabeth · July 28, 2009, 01:09:13 AM

Awwwwwwwwww

SMF loves you SO MUCH that even the software can't let you go!

Easter Egg XD

Please eventually check out the attached picture.

I don't fully remember, but the option to delete account may be configurable differently for each membergroup...
*scratches head, too tired or too lazy to check at this time*

EDIT: oh well, cross-posted.

Jeff Lewis · July 28, 2009, 01:10:31 AM
