Is our data not safe on forumias? Should we use fake ids to protect ourselves?

Dear mods. This is important and you are answerable. You can't just ignore this violation of our privacy. There is not even an option of deleting our accounts. Please provide that option. Its not rocket science but just your greed for more revenue.

    Mods don't have the powers required to safeguard your personal information. We don't deal with the data set either. The responsibility of that lies above. The recent spam attack was not a data breach. It was a mass private message.

    We don't have any way of allowing people to delete accounts on the forum either. We can't do it even if we tried. You can't do it even if we made you super-moderator.

    The forum doesn't allow deletion of accounts, but you are free to unsubscribe from all email alerts and stop visiting. This is the only option that we can grudgingly suggest to people deeply concerned about the 1000s of crores that the forum is making on a daily basis at the expense of the hard work of the exploited users who are mercilessly forced to spend their entire youth browsing and posting here with no food, water or rest.

    For a bit more permanent solution, feel free to change your password to something random and not writing it down/remembering it. It would be like throwing away the key. If you still get emails (unlikely), just mark them as spam.

    Yes. Mods can see individual ids but don't have access to the data set. We don't pick spammers as mods. :)
