How do I delete my boards account?

    The Admins don't have to aware of the fact at all, which is pretty easy to ensure if a poster is serious about wanting a new start. Simply changing one's username and continuing to post in the exact same manner, or worse, talking to one self, will tend to bring attention upon oneself.

    Multiple accounts are not encouraged.
    Again Recklessstone, its not that simple. Admins have to clear any new accounts. You were probably aware that they also had the boards attack to deal with so it doesnt just happen overnight.
    I lost my password and only accidentally found the email address it was attached to. Was on to admins for weeks about it. Again they had a lot to deal with. Dont claim to be privy to everything that goes on.

    Do you think Admins check every new account to see if it is a duplicate?

    The only reason they are checked is if the person starts acting the muppet with the second account.

    You had three that were only banned when you used two of them to circumvent a ban.

    also, sots, has to be said, if you are a troll - you're the best I've seen in my time on this site


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 recklesstone


    Hi bvc, look what I managed to do!

    edit: apologies to Admins for signing up another account, but seemed to be the only way to make my point...

    No. They. Don't.

    I have no idea why you think that, but they don't.

    This is my second account, for instance. I had an old account many years ago that I forgot the password to, it has about ten posts, but one day I opened Boards and wanted to post, tried to sign in with my old account, couldn't, so just started a new one.
    If you don't mind Des Ill let the admins take care of this one.

    They already know, in fact, I once asked an Admin if he's merge the two accounts.

    No TBH i'm not a troll. Just not as clever as some posters who do a better job of actually doing it without being caught.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    If you're not a troll, and not that clever, I think you'll enjoy boards a lot more if you dial down the arrogance about 75%

    Next time you feel the urge to tell us how it is, remember that when you've done so in the past you've almost always been spectacularly wrong, with hilarious results. I doubt theres a poster left who takes you seriously tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    teebs, seriously, step away from this one, don't put anymore time into it.

    It will consume you.

    If he's trollin', tip of the cap because he would turn out to be the most genius troll in the history of the troll. Unfortunately, I don't think he's trolling, just wasting everybodies time and making himself, again, look like an eejit.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Admins do not and have never pre-moderated new sign ups... theres far too many of them (about 400 a day or more) so no, we dont.

    Unfortunately, your world view doesn't match up with sots', so I fear you may have just wasted the thirty or so seconds it took you to make that post.

    He will simply ignore it, pass it by as if it doesn't exist.

    And then next week he'll post again, saying that people need Admin clearance to open a new account.

    I'm not responding to him, I'm clarifying the state of play to everyone, publically. He can say what he likes now, but this is the horse, this came from my mouth and I'm damned if I'm going to think of a more fitting metaphor. :)

    You don't have to agree with Sots or even keep him off your ignore list (Hint for some.) But we can certainly do without all the Ad Hominem BS in here.

    I disagree with SOTS but this is sad and childish.

    Sorry if i can clear this up. I had problems merging two of my accounts because at the time boards was dealing with the after effect of the hackers attack on boards.
    What happend on the other side is the minute I came to admin about clearing an account (on advice from two mods) I was sitebanned without even as much as a warning.
    So again with regard to new accounts being set up. They have to be cleared and I had understood that to be the case when i contacted someone in admins. And trust me I was going back and forth with admin on this for at least two weeks.
    So Please stop coming out about stuff being sad and childish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Actually the sad and childish was referring to posters calling you a troll... so im no longer sure in which context you are reading this thread.

    Hang on. This isn't true. You were sitebanned for misbehaving in soccer under a couple of accounts.

    I merged your accounts. I dealt with you directly. You were not banned for having new accounts - you were banned for your past behaviour (by the soccer mods) and for trolling under your NEW account (set up post-incident) and it took us a while to work out how to sort this and what account you wanted to post under. We don't do this for everyone. You were just lucky.

    I have a LARGE number of emails from you to me and back again that I'm happy to publish about this, if you are.

    Your situation was unique and it came while we were trying to sort out everyone's account. Yes, you had to wait a while. You had at least two accounts that were banned and I wanted you to have ONE account that you took responsibility for.

    You admitted yourself you had trolled under at least one account and wanted to start afresh. We agreed to give it a go.

    Again, I have all of our correspondence by email.

    So again with regard to new accounts being set up. They have to be cleared

    No they don't. Yours did, because of your past behaviour but that's a unique case.
    I had understood that to be the case when i contacted someone in admins. And trust me I was going back and forth with admin on this for at least two weeks.

    Yes you were. You were given a second fifth chance. This is how you choose to use it? :eek:

    Sorry Darragh. may i point out some inaccuracies that still haven't being corrected
    On that mod infraction note on the prison forum at the time, it was claimed that Spiritoftheseventies was a multiple account even though it wasnt as I had actually changed the user name via subscription.
    I had to let that go despite having made a very strong case to mod on PF. I was told this was the way it was and it wasn't going to be discussed again.
    Re soccer ban My only minor offence at that was that i used an account to report on two or three posters who gloated on a forum after I had got banned.
    (Yeah I lost the rag with the mod and i have since apologised for it to him via pm)
    Those posts remained up and they only came down after i reported them under another account.
    It was for reporting this that I got a three week site ban for an offence that had nothing to do with my behaviour outside of that forum.
    This debate started over posters wanted to start afresh with new accounts. I was merely pointing out that due to the behaviour of some posters here that its not really possible.
    Some posters are relentless when it comes to getting their digs in. Its takes little to provoke them.
    Even tonight they continue to do so.
    I appreciate you took time out and that my case is unique but also understand that a certain amount of posters on SF are also unique in the way they post.
    The stuff that is allowed on Soccer Forum simply wouldn't happen anywhere else. My past behaviour outside the Soccer Forum is mimimal up until recently.

    But everything and I mean absolutely everything comes back to it. The only minor infraction i got was on Alt Music forum on 31st August.
    But mod of that forum will tell you I didnt force the issue and nothing was ever said about it again. We get on fine now.
    I'm asking that for the last time that something is done about this. Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,585 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    SOTS, seriously.

    you are wrong.

    you do not know better than the admins, or the mods, or people that have been on here longer than you.

    it's baffling, truly baffling, and you're wasting so much of people's time.

    if you're going to argue something, be civil and respectful enough to know what the hell you're talking about.

    . Would posters allow myself and mods a bit of time to get it sorted. Bonito you saw De Vores message and thanked it and then still chipped in two posts later.. So again can you and others hang back as DeVore requested while this is being sorted.

    Doesn't this all sound very complicated? You had an account that wasn't a duplicate account, it was a renamed account?

    And yet you had to ask me to merge accounts into your own account because you had other accounts (by other email addresses) and you had another account that you reported posts under and then you wanted a fresh start in soccer from some stuff you had posted in soccer?

    How many people do you reckon have as much complication with their accounts as you have had?
    This debate started over posters wanted to start afresh with new accounts. I was merely pointing out that due to the behaviour of some posters here that its not really possible.

    SOTS, no offence, but that's not your decision. That comes down to the Admins, to Dav and to me.

    We gave you the chance to start afresh with a new account.

    If someone is acting the eejit on site and decides to stop - to walk away from that, to start again under a new account and just get on with it - contributing, answering, discussing - we probably never hear about it. In fact, the only way we get to hear about most of the 320,000+ members we have is
    • if they've done something really good
    • if they've broken the rules
    • if they need help with something from us
    Many just get on with it and enjoy the site. I would imagine that less than 2,000 members on this site know my name or even care. 2,000 members is being generous to myself there.
    Some posters are relentless when it comes to getting their digs in. Its takes little to provoke them. Even tonight they continue to do so.

    True. So what do you do? Either deal with it constructively to stop it (and it stops 95% of it in my experience) or ignore it. Why let it bother you? Unless they're insulting you personally, what does it really matter? Really?
    I appreciate you took time out and that my case is unique but also understand that a certain amount of posters on SF are also unique in the way they post.

    Everyone's unique - though many people experience the same issues or have the same questions.
    The stuff that is allowed on Soccer Forum simply wouldn't happen anywhere else. My past behaviour outside the Soccer Forum is mimimal up until recently. But everything and I mean absolutely everything comes back to it.

    Would you believe that our Soccer forum is ONLY one forum and we have over 1,340? So maybe the stuff that happens on soccer doesn't happen elsewhere. If you're not happy with it, either stop posting or reading it or tell us about it.

    If you can come to me with a post that says "this is wrong in soccer, here's a few examples of it and here's all the members it's affecting, who also have the same problem with it that I do", then we can certainly look at that and work with the Soccer mods to sort it. However, I haven't seen a post like that about (m)any forums on the site, which says that either the site is working well or people don't care - which do you reckon it is?
    I'm asking that for the last time that something is done about this. Thanks

    What exactly are you asking, please. What is it that something needs to be done about? I know I'm probably stupid here, but indulge me. I'll try and help.

    Again. on the multiple accounts. There were only two extra accounts. BVC and SOTs =1 account. And again if that facility is available to me via subscription why was it an issue. Paid for the service. So that should be end of discussion.
    In addition asked for that to be closed and stay with Fake Locke. So just two accounts and it could have been sorted that simply and quickly enough.
    That final one, onestepahead was only up a week. So no big deal. It had no bearing on SF andyet picked up a site ban for merely correcting a lack of modding re trolling following my ban within that forum.
    Again from my side my behaviour on SF maybe seen as bad but its only within the confines of what happens there. So again if you tell me my behaviour is bad in there yet good outside surely that should surely tell you something.
    We are talking about forum that was closed down a few years ago as well and i have come across posters who say flat out they wont post there any more.
    At this stage to be bonest I dont see any progress on this front. I had hoped mods in there had made some effort to sort the situation out while i was but that doesnt seem to have happened.
    Can't be helped. And re the dual account issue which apparently is not that big a deal. told one mod/poster about the Fake Locke account but he chose to make a huge fuss about it for his own ends and still does.
    Tonight whether it was in jest or not, he said flat out I was posting as another poster. Who was signed up a year before me.
    So stuff like that is just annoying. That is trolling plain and simple.

    Sorry for butting in here, but the stuff you are talking about the soccer forum is infuriating. Bringing up the past , that has ZERO to do with this thread, dragging the Soccer Forum continually pisses me right off. You say so much is wrong with the place and your on some crusade to change a place that does not want or need to be changed, we had this at the start of the week with your "Letstalksoccer" debacle, and you made an absolute mockery of yourself.

    99.9% of the people in that forum would agree its well run, by excellent mods ( I would have not said this in the past but admittingly, but I have no trouble stating it now). Can you please quit this mission you are on with a forum a whole community of members here love, be it posting in, reading, buying/selling tickets or playing for Boardeaux. The repututation of the forum was poor in the past, and your CONSTANT dragging it up here there and everywhere is absolutely is trying to take it back to those times single handedly.

    Please for the sake of what people who post in the soccer forum, or use cut this out and stop dragging it through the dirt at every opporutinity you have a chance for attention, its not wanted or needed your so called CRUSADE.

    Yours Sincerely

    A truly pissed of Soccer Forum member.

    Sorry Chong I haven't come across you yet on SF so sorry have to dismiss you outright in terms of SF and you are not a regular poster outside of whatever club board you post.. As for the 99.9 thats just a figure made up from top of your head. as for the Bordeaux team and selling the tickets just dont see that being relevant.

    Talk about an Ad Hominem attack.

    Sots why don't you address what he's trying to say. Being dismissive is pointless.

    Chong is a long time excellent member of the SF, the fact that you aren't aware of him is perfect proof of why you shouldn't be trying to dictate how the forum is run and of both how clueless you are in regards to the goings on there and what the forums members want.

    Sots why don't you address what he's trying to say. Being dismissive is pointless.
    Okay to correct. I dismiss the post outright. Like I said I haven't come across that poster so I just can't validate the post as such.
    Can vouch for Shivering Eskimo and SlicRic though. Bonito I haven't come across either on SF.

    Chong is a long time excellent member of the SF, the fact that you aren't aware of him is perfect proof of why you shouldn't be trying to dictate how the forum is run and of both how clueless you are in regards to the goings on there and what the forums members want.
    Again Mr Alan only talking about my views on it and if you are talking about Letstalksoccer you are now fronting that group having agreed to take it on.

    Why would you? I don't follow soccer. What does this all have to do with soccer and why are you bringing me back in to this after sending me a Pm which I should have reported with regards of it's content?

    Its called taking people at their word.

    How the hell do you function on a day to day basis??

    Just because you havent read many of their posts doesnt mean they are any less important than you. You are not your post count.

    I dont see Ross very often for example, and yet he's directly responsible for keeping this forum running on all 12 cylinders.

    similarly Many people read boards more than they write to it. Many very valuable contributors to this site have only a few hundred, maybe a couple thousand posts, and yet have been on board since 2000 and 2002, and have been active Subscribers.

    In short: your metric is deeply flawed.

    SOTS, we Soccer moderators have been extremely patient with you, and it's been bloody difficult at times.

    We have facilitated your complained, listened to your moaning, and tried to poin you in the right direction. And what do you do? You slap us in the face by registering new accounts and bad mouthing us both here and in your little social group.

    You've become a laughing stock due to your refusal to listen to others and to also to look a bit closer to home for the source of your problems.

    Frankly at this stage I'm not even interested in your reply to this so please refrain from doing so. Think of it as being like how every other user feels when they try to respond to one of your PMs seeing as you have them turned off.

    You've gotten way too many chances in my opinion, and hopefully your luck is about to run out.

    Sorry Chong I haven't come across you yet on SF so sorry have to dismiss you outright in terms of SF and you are not a regular poster outside of whatever club board you post.. As for the 99.9 thats just a figure made up from top of your head. as for the Bordeaux team and selling the tickets just dont see that being relevant.
    I am a long time member of that forum, and because I dont post regularly does not mean someone who has been here just under a year can dismiss my usage of the forum I have used for 8 years.

    My usage of the forum is reading, I read, I have contributed to that forum in the past but I am content in reading now, if thats ok with yourself kind sir. I dont feel the need to post every day or feel the need to post stuff that frankly infuriates people on a regular basis. You have been likened to a troll for very good reason , and as you know by now this pretty much by general consensus, be it here or in the soccer forum. Just have a quick read of your "Letstalksoccer" thread to realise your serious lack of ineptitude.

    You have an absolute cheek to dismiss me for starters because I dont post every waking thought in my head in every thread I can lurk in and b)the community as a whole. Let me fill you in on that forum, it is a community of people, that community is Tickets, Boardeaux, Go Ahead Eagles, and Soccer. There are people on there who have made good friends, socialised with each other, played football with each other, have lost friends on there, so for you to come on here 1 year on , and dismiss, bitch and bull**** about a community of friends is an insult to everyone who wishes to use and partake in boards.ie's soccer community.

    You sir have no business tackling non existent issues, and these constant threads be it in Feedback, FeedForward, Help Desk, Social Groups, Soccer Forum are an absolute shambles of the highest order, you are trying to bring the forum in to disrepute. Thankfully everyone can see right through you.

    Was hoping that posters were going to give the space that DeVore requested but that didnt happen.
    Who knows might get a resolution out of this but as I said while everyone seeks to dismiss A and Include B we are usual not getting very far.

    And to confirm Xavi you were invited on to that group and I dont recall badmouthing anyone. Stop telling lies.
    You've gotten way too many chances in my opinion, and hopefully your luck is about to run out.
    Tell me this Xavi. Where exactly did you faciiltate me. Im curious on this one. The flip side of this is you have teken absolutely nothing on board. I got a three week site ban which was all down to how posters under your and othe mods watch behaved.
    Ill say this agan and listen this time. My behaviour outside the SF is pretty much unblemished.
    You post on Alternative music section so you know that to be true and you will know none of the bull**** that goes on in SF happens there. Can you explain that to me rather than trying to use the threatening language you just used .
    Also you were invited to that group. Never bad mouthed you there. Be fair for once
