Hello everyone,
Recently there was some debate on this forum about whether or not ProBoards should assist users in removing posts they made on forums that they no longer have the ability to remove themselves. After allowing community comment and completing our own internal discussions, we have decided to modify our existing policy.
We will no longer remove all posts made by a user upon their request. However, we will remove posts made by the user if the postings violate our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or if those posts contain any of the user's personal information (for example: email addresses, phone#, real name, etc). Further to this, we will also delete the user account on the forum at the user's request.
We believe that this policy update reflects both the needs of respecting user privacy and that of forum admins.
