i am advising a thing that must have a way to be done if wrongplanet follows law and not their own idea of things

i know a moderator is not able to but the site owner can

if never been done before that is only from the people that can close a account simply choosing not to close the account

there is a difference between choose not and not possible and choose not is being represented as not possible

adding

if you do not build a way to delete a user account in a site design the other way a site owner can delete a account is in the server directly

use full administrator rights and go to the list of all user accounts and delete the one you want to close

so you see it is possible if you have some knowledge of network administration

Many things are possible.

  1. On Wrong Planet, no account is ever closed, removed, deleted, or whatever else you chose to call it.
  2. WrongPlanet Rules
    Quote:
    * Each user of WrongPlanet is only permitted to hold one user account unless given permission by the owner of WrongPlanet.net.

jamieg, you have advised someone to do something that they (and you) cannot do, namely (1) above, and then advised them to do something that is against the rules, violating (2) above.

Perhaps you were not aware of the former consideration, although you should be able to deduce it from the Terms of Service:
Quote:
By posting to the forums, or any other sections of this site, you signify agreement that you
are giving WrongPlanet permission to use, modify, and reproduce your submission, in part or
in whole, in any way, shape, form, or method in which we decide to do so, at any point in
the present or future at our discretion.


Telling people to create a second account is clearly an incitement to that user to break the rules, as a result of which they could be banned.

You were informed of all of the above, yet you seem intent on making an argument out of the situation. Please read all the above carefully, including the prior posts, and abide by the rules and terms of service.

Unless Alex makes a major change of policy, which he is perfectly at liberty to do, or (more likely) not do, accounts will never be deleted, closed, etc.

then you need a class in network administration since closing a account is always possible at the server level

this is not intended to have the person have 2 accounts as said in my origional message and many times before

added

if you take a network administrator class you will learn that absolutely all accounts on any site is in a account list at the server level and assigned a default set of permissions and this includes my account here

all they need to do is go to the account list where they assign administrator rights and other permissions and simply use the delete option that is built in the programming for the server

Anyone else you want to insult, kid?

Those trying to help you are playing favorites.
M. doesn't understand the word "close" and needs a dictionary.
And now the SITE ADMIN needs a networking class.

Here's a possibility. When the whole entire world seems to be wrong: Maybe it's you, kid. Maybe it's you.

And it is.

I really don't know why you would think that a "network administrator" would have any access to a private database. I suspect you are confusing an account on the network (which will allow logins to one or more machines on the network) with an account within a database (which will allow access of some sort, to one or more databases), and a plain account maintained by the forum software within that database.

In any case, you are still persisting in this idea that there is some problem for me to delete a WP account. It would be simple for me to delete your account. However, as you have been told many times, it is not site policy (set by Alex) to delete accounts, so I won't.

it is always possible to go to the server level account list and delete accounts

i know because i have done it before

all you need is administrator permissions to edit accounts at the server level and obviously the moderators and site administrator only has application level permissions and that is why they assume not possible

take a network administrator class

if it is not possible then i should not have been able to do it before

if you do not have permissions to edit at the server level then no

if you have permissions to actually edit at the server level then yes

i guess a moderator not admitting to not knowing how to do things always knows more than a person certified to do this and actually did it before

i guess my actually doing what you keep claiming is not possible does not mean a thing

telling me to read previous messages all the time does not change the fact i actually did it before

you are not going to push me off this site so get over it and admit when you do not know how to do things
