Well, you could just not come here anymore. I know that some folks have had trouble kicking the WS addiction, and have asked to be locked out... would either of those suit?

WS doesn't delete memberships but will oblige a request to be locked out for the reason stated above. Let a mod know if you want locked out.

WS does not "delete" members. If we actually delete someone then their posts are also deleted too. It's in the software. That's why the TOS states that once you post it it stays on WS.

If someone wants to leave and wants their account deactivated then we "ban" them and it shows as "Former Member".

If we allowed members to delete their hats and posts then this forum would look like swiss cheese. Holes everywhere.

I'm not sure how to deregister, or if that is possible, but you can set your preferences so you don't get email alerts. You can also change your alert preferences so you don't get alerts for a while. See attached screenshots.... hope this helps :)

I don't know about de-registering, but you can turn off the ability for anyone to inbox you. Just go to the top of the page and click on your name to bring up your profile, click on privacy, scroll down to the very last item which is "Start conversations with you" and uncheck that box. Hope this helps and I think would be easier than de-registering.
