There doesn't seem to be a way for people to delete their account on this forum; like for privacy focused people, or for people who don't use Playnite any more, or any of the many other reasons why somebody may want to be removed from a forum or service.
Is there an automated way to do this that I'm missing?
If not, and barring the best case scenario of a button in a settings menu, a reasonable middle ground could be a "Delete My Account" thread (or similar).
There also doesn't appear to be a way to change your username here, which is a separate issue, but still an important feature that should never be glossed over.
I understand setting limitations on that one, but the option should always be there; some people change their name (legal and alias alike) in response to (and as a part of recovering from) trauma(s), or to protect themselves (from whatever they deem to be threatening them), and to force such people to start fresh because of a mere oversight is unreasonable.
Once again, if a button in a settings menu isn't reasonably plausible, I'd recommend a "Change my Username" thread.
I understand that this is a small development forum; but under any circumstance where personal, or private data can be stored on a server, there should always be an out for those who didn't realise the possible reprobations that sharing that data could have - as is the point of the GDPR.
Moderation alone won't solve every problem.
Some problems need systems, not people.
- Thanks in advance for the help
