Ben Gwalchmai [username: ap Minos] here. I just created this account to say that when I tried to log in to my normal account, it wouldn't let me and said that I didn't exist. Or that I did exist but my password was wrong...I definitely didn't change it so...
Can't think of it [and did a search but still couldn't find anything] but, just in case I did something stupid while drunk a few nights ago, did I post something stupid? If so, I'm really sorry and can I have my account back? Or is it a glitch in the system?
No, if your account had been closed by Admin we'd still have a record of it. The account seems to have disappeared entirely... is it possible you deleted your account while drunk?
Doubt it - I quite like my account - but I did fall asleep at my laptop...hmmm...naaa, I mean. No. I'm a sleepy drunk when I get in but surely not that sleepy...
Guilty as charged - this whole weekend, since Friday, has been a bit of a blur that is only really coming into focus now.
SOoooo, we now pretend like this never happened, yes?
[Also, I really didn't mean to take the piss - on a being cheeky level - but was genuinely baffled. Again, sorry. I even ate eel this weekend...you don't have dominion over all eels...do you?]
Is there any way to edit posts from discussions that have been closed?
I've been the target of internet stalkerdom. Again. (Not as weird as the guy who thought i was Terrifica at least, which is why I stopped having a journal/blog years ago). A short while ago I'd removed my tumblr and facebook and privatized most of my Flickr, but the fiend seems to have found him/herself here ( i think ) and I'd like to maybe remove the personal bits that I probably shouldn't have ever exposed anyway. Mostly just from the Open Mic Nights, where I'd a tendency to vent a bit too much.
If I delete my account, the posts will remain, right? Is there a way to just eradicate all of my posts here in one fell swoop, or does that go against the rules?
EDITED to ADD: if you want to tell me that i've done this to myself and I'll have to deal with it, you'd be totally correct, and I'd fully accept such judgement.
Hm, no... there's just not really a simple way for us to do that. But, you know, this need not be all a bad thing: it's never a bad idea to step back and reappraise what you're putting online, and it might even be cathartic to hunt down your old entries for editing...
Yes, yes, yes... I HAVE learned my lesson. Really. I swear. *hangs head in shame*
I really had pulled in the reigns on most of my online exposing of myself. I allowed here to be the one place I did so, not thinking anyone would bother to look that hard, I suppose. I like the people who post here, but I often forget that ANYONE can look. You can nuke my account if you like. Or not.
And yes, I had gone through and looked at all my old entries and edited a whole bunch of them. You are right, it IS very cathartic! It's just the closed discussions weren't editable, so I thought I'd ask if there was a way to do so that I was somehow missing.
i know its not a big thing, but any chance of the "Back to Discussions" and "Top of Page" links getting added to closed discussions? i hate having to use the back button and not have it update. minor like i say but an annoyance none the less
