PS: Didn't you once said to me it was cause you wanted to keep worms hictoric straight as it was ?
Maybe I'm mistaking with KRD on FB (yeah, shame on you KRD for that one, I like you, but not this shit you did !).

No idea what you mean there, our reasons for not deleting FB accounts were the same as MI's for not deleting TUS ones. It's a profile with all sorts of information related to it, from games to forum posts and so on, so it compromises the experience for other users if they keep seeing empty strings on the website where a nickname was supposed to be.

There still can be player name with no other informations tho.

Anyway, I wanted to give a win to a guy (there was a good reason, can't remember which) (or something like that), and you refused, saying you wanted to keep stats as they were in real, blablabla.
We were talking about that year later during a Roper.

But it's fine, just that I didn't like this lack of comprehension (and still don't :p ).

Why? What's the point in not having your anonymous Wormnet nickname related to the database of game league site? I think both MI and KRD gave good arguments for remaining the statistics intact by not deleting user accounts. And the several "I want my account to be deleted" posts have only one purpose in common, and that's expressing that those users are pissed off in a way and want to turn their back on this community with some drama. Really i don't see any reasons why accounts should be deleted, it would only mean a lot of extra work for the admins here, alongside with messed up stats, and i don't think that's a desirable thing.

Exactly.  :)

Just said. And about the extra work, not if people act a logical way so people don't want to leave.

After that, developpers don't give a shit to my point of view tho, so it'll just keep going.

Why would they reply to your posts then, and explain you why it is not possible to get an account deleted? It's not like they give a shit, just because they don't bow down to what you want.

I'm talking about what happenned, not nowadays.

And it's not bowing down to what I want, it's just I disliked what happenned, so I want to leave the group.

Just like when someone leaves a group, there is nothing left behind but memories.

Same for the account. If you want the name on the games, np, it's like memories. But the account itself shouldn't be.

Maybe that was me saying about keeping history. I'd like to keep history as some kind of reference to look back at to. TUS is probably the only league which keeps and collects all the game replays. I have the same view on member accounts as well, mainly because of the history they hold.

But I know what you are talking about, I think the solution to that is we somehow rename the account, so that it sort of satisfies the account holder, but also doesn't break anything in our history.
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

I was actually about to post that yesterday that you can just re-name people that want to be "forgotten".
Speaking of, you can change my nickname to Anubis again since I am active.

Kind of, 2 weeks after you "deleted" it, they deactivate it, it can't be seen or be searched anymore afaic. It never gets really deleted though, once you login again, it is active again, so it remains on their servers.

Btw, i would like to see the option on TUS, that you can deactivate your account too. A simple option in the user control panel would be enough. That way fake reports against inactive players who didn't visit TUS site for a long time could be avoided too.

Good solution for fake report tho.
