you've only made one post? why not just ditch the account?

The mods don't delete accounts. You could have your single post deleted by posting in the contact the mods forum. Or, as I would recommend, just don't worry about it.

You can't. You're stuck with it for ever. And ever.

... and ever.

I thought it was worth bumping this thread since some of the mods have been PM'd about this topic.

hey harrisony, can you invent a delete account button that wipes everything you've posted at the click of a button?
You should do it.

The site owner or someone with access to the database can delete accounts by dropping his account from the database. This is actually possible from remote housekeeping or MOD tool as such.

Can my account be deleted?
Accounts cannot be deleted currently, sorry.

Can all the posts in my account be deleted?
The Bored of Studies team cannot do this for you, sorry. Alternatively, we can permanently ban your account if you request it - to do so please post in the Contact Moderators Forum with a justifiable reason.
If you wish you can delete all of your posts yourself using the 'delete post function' (see below for instructions on how to delete a post).


Why can't all my posts/my account be deleted?
Because Mass deletion of posts causes several problems:
1) Slows the server down.
2) May delete other, legitimate threads, which are still active.
3) It ruins the flow of threads
4) It takes time that could be more usefully spent elsewhere

Moderators do not have access to the server database, and those who do have access should not be spending their time removing accounts upon request.
