how will I hide all 22k posts? Do you really think I have the time to do that? I’m not asking you to change the policy lol but at least do something different rather than the same repetitive automated reply lol it’s not like I’m the only person who has ever asked for a account deletion option. And it’s not like y’all can’t do it lol what happened to you can contact the global moderator in case you want to self ban your account, which would delete all the posts?
Thank you for raising this concern and for your understanding.
Automatically hiding posts from deactivated accounts, especially in threads with substantial contributions, poses significant challenges. Here’s why:
- Impact on other Contributors: Many users contribute valuable insights, information, and discussions to threads over time. Automatically hiding posts could disrupt these contributions and make it difficult for other users to follow the conversation threads.
- Loss of Context and Continuity: Threads often build upon previous discussions, and hiding posts would break this continuity. Users who refer back to older threads for information or context would find it harder to understand the discussions.
- User Privacy Considerations: We understand the importance of user privacy. This is why we anonymise the posts to ensure they are no longer linked to the user who posted them. This helps protect user privacy while maintaining the integrity of community discussions.
- User Control: Users currently have the option to delete their own posts manually if they wish to do so. This process requires individuals to remove each post individually, which allows them to manage their contributions while maintaining the thread’s continuity for other users.
We value the contributions of our users and strive to maintain a platform where discussions can flourish and evolve organically.
We do consider all suggestions seriously and continuously work towards enhancing user experience while balancing community integrity and technical feasibility.
