how long was it unavailable for anyway? I'm kinda curious because it was like that since I made my account, also, why is there so many deleted users here that are banned? and I remember that the forums have like a separate account from the main site so I don't know if it deletes both

If it doesn't work, post any errors you're seeing and we'll look into it.
Genuine question, what's the point of deleting your account if your history is still tied to the account and the profile is still available? I recall in the past when you did delete your account both these things were removed, but now it isn't?

I wonder if they still intend to delete the account properly 28 days after clicking the button to delete the account, but that what we see right now is just the temporary state until that time. Otherwise it would be nice to get more insight in what stays and what goes when deleting your account.

Why do most of the people who want to delete their accounts seem to also be the ones who are banned anyway?

You trying to do a new account with a clean name without your "dirty history"?
even without want to clean the name, there is no reason to keep your data in the site where it have nothing to do with your information anymore. so people can consider to request the data to be deleted. getting banned mean having the account is useless anyway except you still want to be around the forum. but "dirty history"? doubt there is any of them in most recent banned account anyway.

Do messages get deleted as well?

The community is the people commenting on the releases, but you decided to divide your community by those who have the money and those who don't to be able to post, i don't want to be part of this anymore.

No your messages would still be visible. For now, deleting an account just changes the username to Deleted-user-xxxx and makes the account unusable.

You are uninformed (probably not your fault). The new comments are in early access for users with special roles and will soon™ be available for everyone.
You can still use the regular forum discussions by clicking on the "view older commens" thing.

Yeah, posts cannot be edited by users after 2 or 3 months.

Well... In short, no (at least for now) 😓

You can request a mod to delete some of your messages, but they might not be up for deleting hundreds of them manually.
Doesn't look like you have shared any sensitive info and besides, don't you think some of your posts are also kinda part of this site in like, a good way? 😄

If you're worried about something then it might be better to report your own comments which you think do have sensitive info, then change your passwords, private your account and don't use it if you're leaving.
Maybe you can take advantage of the law if you meet certain conditions? This probably won't work because of the ToS but you could look into it.

Remember that you're on the internet so very few things are truly 100% deleted, there are archives and other methods to find things and track people.
god you are such a a moron
Hey, at least my guy didn't insult anyone and is improving. Ever heard of forgiveness? It's pretty cool (especially when it's for me)

That is the thing, i don't feel like being part of this community anymore and i don't see why the contributions (whatever small they might be) to remain here, they (the admins) don't own them.
I wouldn't want to resort to legal action, but they should not wait until they get sued by someone who can in their country, to implement a method to delete all info in their site.

And what does that asinine remark makes you? a proper response would ban me, but I wont make things easier for the admins (lets see what they do about you).

That is your choice and I respect that. 👍

Uh... they kinda do
6. User Generated Contributions (Social Network)
6.1 The Site permits public social interaction, including all comments and posts. Comments and posts are currently located in the MangaDex forums ("Forums"), but may, in the future, be located in any feed, including but not limited to the global feed, following feed, user feed and organization feed (collectively, "Social Network").
6.2 The Site may invite you to chat, contribute to, or participate in our Social Network, and may provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute, or broadcast content and materials to us or on the Site, including but not limited to text, writings, video, audio, photographs, graphics, comments, suggestions, or personal information or other material (collectively, "Contributions"). Contributions may be viewable by other users of the Site and through third-party websites. As such, any Contributions you transmit may be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.
6.3 When you create or make available any Contributions, you thereby represent and warrant that:
6.3.1 the creation, distribution, transmission, public display, or performance, and the accessing, downloading, or copying of your Contributions do not and will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights of any third party;
6.3.2 you are the creator and owner of or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, releases, and permissions to use and to authorize us, the Site, and other users of the Site to use your Contributions in any manner contemplated by the Site and these Terms of Service;
Not sure about them owning anything but them and others can use it.
For clarification: basically making an account and putting stuff here means you're kinda permitting anyone to use it.
That's the thing with copyright-free stuff, you can claim you made it but you don't own it.
I wouldn't want to resort to legal action, but they should not wait until they get sued by someone who can in their country, to implement a method to delete all info in their site.
Yeah, a more proper way to delete an account would be much appreciated.
Thanks for still being reasonable.

Which do you want deleted? The ones where you called people rather vile things unprovoked (and now cry when receiving 1/100th of the same from others) or those in which you mindlessly shilled for same kind of decisions you're now complaining about? That's pretty much the sum of your "however small" contributions, so they should stay as exhibits, preferably with some identifiable information, just to see if you have the balls for that supposed legal action against a company that does not operate in your country.
