In summary, the conversation revolves around a member's inability to find an option on their profile page. They have sent two emails to the PF staff without receiving a reply and are seeking advice on how to handle the issue. Another member suggests contacting @Greg Bernhardt through private message, as he is in charge of the forum and may be able to assist with the problem. It is also noted that in the European Union, members have the right to request the deletion of their account, but it is ultimately up to Greg's discretion.

Obviously your registration can't not have happened, but you can allow your account to slip into dormancy by not posting. I'm just a member here; not an authority ##-## I suggest that you should PM (private message conversation) @Greg Bernhardt and state your request ##-## I think that he's a very busy man, but it's been my experience that he 's very attentive to the concerns of every member on PF, so that before too long he would get around to addressing any issues you might raise. He is in charge here, and presumably he could delete your account, and also possibly any or all of your posts (at least those that haven't been quoted), but that might not be consistent with (carefully thought through) PF policy ##-## again obviously, you can never not have said something that you've said ##\dots##

If you are in the European Union, you can demand the deletion but otherwise the account is not yours and deletion is at Greg's option.

Thanks people I'll try that.
