How do I go about deleting my profile from this forum?

If it's one of those things where only the admins have the keys, can someone just wipe my account for me? Thanks.

Just so everyone knows, we don't actually delete profiles here.

It should basically work like the right to be forgotten http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten

"The 'right to be forgotten' is essentially an individual's claim to get specific data wiped so third parties can't track them down."

Look, this isn't some limitation of the vBulletin script itself—it’s a forum policy decision. The software actually provides a way to perform a mass prune of both users and threads. ☕

There's no function to mass delete users by a profile field, but you can prune users by user group. So you could do this:
- Create a temporary user group, note the id number.
- Execute this SQL query:
Block Disabled: (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.
But replace X with the id of the temp group you created. (If your db has a table prefix you'll need to modify the query to include it).
- In the adminCP go to Users -> Search for Users and search for users in your temp user group, make sure the list of users looks like the ones you want to delete.
- Go to Users -> Prune/Move Users, select your temporary user group and enter '0' for the 'Has not logged on for x days' field. Press 'Find'
- On the next page select 'delete' and press the 'Go' button.

Nobody really brought up what vBulletin is actually capable of

What would this thread even look like if someone went back and deleted all the "normal" (meaning non-violating) posts from one or more users?
It would be unreadable.
That’s exactly why we don't do it, and why we shouldn't.
