They have important things to do. Like running the entire site. You have the ability to go back and edit everything you’ve ever wrote here.

Yeah I know it's not what you want to hear but we just don't delete accounts. That's been our policy since inception and it's clearly laid out in the terms you agreed to when you registered. There's never been a push to change this since most members like having old posts preserved. You can always go back and edit or delete your own posts if it's important to you, but we don't want to make it so easy that people do it on a whim. If you're concerned about your username being linked to you, let me know and we can give you a name change.

Out of curiosity, who is laying legal claims to this intellectual property, which we are now typing?

I apologize for sounding flippant, but I am deeply confused about why I am allowed to delete it.

It's not hard to understand. Once you post it, it's their content, same as any other platform. Allowing anyone to remove all of their contributions can dramatically change the site and why people use it. While the site has plenty additional sections now, it's primary base is related to mushroom cultivation. If every TC were to delete every one of their posts, a huge % of reliable information would be missing. This would affect how useful the content of the site is. If every noob with little cultivation skills were to delete their entire account, a huge % of reliable information would be missing, too. Those posts need to exist for people to read the reliable information provided by TCs and others in response. If you want to delete or edit something, you can, but not all at once. It could change too much of the site at once. It's nice that they allow it, though.

Who owns it, if not me.
Why am I allowed to delete it.

It’s yours. You wrote it you made it. You have the rights to edit it or try and delete it.

You own it, and you gave Shroomery the permanent right to reproduce it, simple as that.

It would effect the entire space/time continuum!

That's what gives them the ability to show your posts on their website and not have to worry about you suing them or something.

Is money made from it, like when the art teacher sold our projects?

Can you prove your art teacher sold art made by the students at a profit that wasn’t shared with students?

Can you prove that you are empowered to act on behalf of the platform?
