Senseless stubbornness like this is why the world is so crappy.

[Username removed]

I just want to delete my account so it stops appearing in search engines when typing certain words.

I no longer play here, I no longer log, I no longer participate on the forums. I don't even have the base game installed. I am not a part of this community anymore so there is no reason for my account to still pop up in search results when I am searching for something unrelated to this community.

On any competent website this is a simple process done in a few clicks but here I noticed there is no way for me to delete my account by myself so I asked about how that works in the Discord chat to which Mephistoles told me they don't generally delete accounts.

I PM'ed St.Denis and asked him politely for help with this which resulted in a back and forth array of PM's where I had to justify myself just for him in the end to tell me he won't delete my account with the stated reason being he has no idea what that would do to my posts...like why does that even matter?

Since I am not currently banned or otherwise sanctioned, there is no fear of me trying to circumvent something which would be a legit reason for them to be reluctant to delete my account, but since this isn't the case, I do not see where this stubbornness come from.

To what purpose is the staff so adamant about retaining an inactive account? Instead of answering that, St.Denis said he forwarded my request to Alex who is in charge of managing accounts.

Now, I get it that people have more important stuff to do in their lives but it's been almost a full day now and I haven't received even so much as a confirmation that Alex got the message. Not even a "I'm busy, ttyl" or anything so you see, I tried going through the official channels, I've asked nicely, and stayed polite and patient the entire time.

I don't have a contract with you, you're not paying my bills, you're not a social security agency. I shouldn't have to wait for your functionaries to get off their ass and process a passport at a border crossing. You're a gaming forum, I can make things as nasty as I want and there is nothing you can do about it except banning the account I wished to be deleted in the first place.

I tried solving this in a civilized manner, I asked nicely, but if you insist on this senseless stubbornness of retaining my account, then maybe you just like people acting aggressively? Perhaps you prefer to be spat on? Is that your kink?

Is this what I have to resort to? Has it became taboo to ask for a harmless thing in a polite way and for the other person to just do it? Do I have to be actively hostile to solicit an action?

This trend of everyone always being like "no" to everything for no fucking reason is why people are getting erratic.

What was the big fucking deal had you just deleted my account the first time I asked? Do you want to retain an inactive account on this ancient ruin of a forum to artificially keep the numbers up? Is that the reason? Are you on the verge of committing group suicide if you see the numbers drop even lower?

Do you rely on artificially boosted numbers to feel a sense of purpose? Even the Russian dude who made the forum moved on to better things in his life so why are you still here running the place?

The only explanation I can arrive at, since nobody cared to give me an explanation from their side, is that whoever is in charge of this place is mentally ill, probably a lonely incel whose parents gave up on him, a socially handicapped outcast who nobody wants to have around them and so he spends his life staring at this digital sack of compost that is the Discovery Freelancer forum just to feel as if they belong -somewhere- and sees the forum members count as a clock ticking down to the moment of their suicide so they try to hold on to that counter for as much as they can.

If that's the case, you need help and you won't find it here.

Try shaving off that beard, put some lotion on your face to hide the skin lesions you got from staring at a screen for almost two whole decades and go straight to the nearest medical facility in your area.

This forum is a decomposing corpse.

Always the five few individuals and their alts jerking off in the RP channels
Always the same dramaqueens throwing tantrums in General and the Flood looks like a safe space for severely limited people to project their mental impairment in text.

What fucking gaming community is this? It's a decaying corpse and artificially retaining member count on forums by not letting people delete their accounts is not going to add players to your server nor is it going to add activity on the forum unless one of you autists will take control of like 50 separate accounts and dedicate the remainder of your life spamming those as if it's a real 40h week job.
