Do you have a piece of programming code or some moderator function, which allows you to quickly and cleanly remove an entire profile?

There's a hacked together solution we use for spammers with fewer than 10 posts, and we automatically expire accounts with no posts after a year of inactivity. But since our policy has always been to not delete accounts, we never developed a tool to do it in a performant manner. It would require manual intervention in most cases.

Wait, what do you mean "expire accounts?" Like posts remaining, but disabled from login permanently?

The account is considered abandoned and deleted entirely. This is both to free up the username for reuse, and to protect the user's privacy by removing personal information we collect on registration like e-mail and IP address. This only applies to accounts which have never made any posts and have been inactive for over a year. A surprising number of people never post at all or log in again after the day they register.

Oh shit, somehow I didn't see the "accounts with no posts" part of that initially. Makes sense to have that then. IP and email not encrypted? Cheers.
PS: Unrelated, but the links to the users given/restricted access to your journal are broken. IIRC, it's just a subfolder or something simple needing to be removed/added.
PPS: I didn't know additional accounts needed to be cleared first and were only allowed for grow logs or something. I made one solely for when I tweak my journal settings to double-check as a user. I named it "starespuppet" or something and also noted it was mine in the signature. Please don't delete my account. If anybody has to go, it's the puppet after his year! He's the one you want! Not me!
PPPS: My lone post on the puppet is in my journal. IIRC, journal posts are treated separately as main forum posts, right? So technically that post won't show in a search. Is this account protected from auto-delete or nah? Just curious if people who've only journaled some stuff would get their shit deleted. Doubt you let that oversight slip through, but just noting it.
Cheers again.

Depending on your server or web application, an AI can probably generate the programming code to suit any language.
For instance: https://deepai.org/chat
In case someone would just like to politely leave and be forgotten.

I'm receiving condemnation. I can take my leave in peace. If you believe that I have the right to come and go as I please, I invoke my right to be forgotten.

In the future, I respectfully suggest that you install this control over one's own information as a standard account feature.

Honestly, that’s on you. If you wanted to go back and edit every single post to just be a brick of Swiss cheese. You can do that. But no one else is going to do that for you.

I will leave that for someone with seniority to decide, without putting any words in that person's mouth.
But, I would consider it an example of cognitive liberty, to honor my wishes when I wish to leave a public conversation.
I'm reasonably certain that the expertise is at your fingertips, should you choose to honor my request.

I just told you how you could do it. They can ban you forever.
But you wrote it down here. So it’s part of the site now. You have the ability to go back and edit it.
I mean really, it would look like people are having conversations with nobody that go on for days if that happened. You have to have your comments left in place. For posterity.
