Deleting Users

Postby shekkie75 » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:42 am

In light of some recent threads certain members have asked to be deleted from our forums and essentially no longer be MAAN.

Addressing this I'd like to say that before you make such requests and allow what goes on here to have that profound an effect on your life, you should take a step away for a little while and come at things again with a calmer perspective.

I say this because it is not the role of MAANagers to sooth things every time someone gets in a tiff on the forums. If someone steps out of line and goes against our, to this point unwritten, rules that will obviously be addressed, but if you just don't get along with someone well, it is suggested that you just refrain from interacting with them.

As far as deleting a user, the MAANagement council has voted that we will not make that a standard practice. If anyone wants to leave it is on them to delete or remove whatever information of theirs they would like to and then notify us of your intention to leave and we will set you to Guest status. Deleting people and or their posts will cause discontinuity within our forums that we'd rather not have to deal with.

Again, this is the internet if you put out information out there you should think long and hard about who can see it. In many places it can never be removed.

Above all of this I give an encouraging reminder to chill, relax, enjoy our community both for the opinions that agree with yours and those that don't......and have some fun.....that's what MAAN is for.

Just to add to this, the forums have this nice feature called "foe" :2cents:

To use this feature:
1. click "Members"
2. Find the user you don't like and click their name
3. Scroll to bottom and click "Add as Foe"

Then you will no longer see their posts. It is basically an ignore feature.

I would hope not. Boobs are meant to bring humaanity together, not tear them apart.

My former gaming clan has an Emeritus group for those who left the clan on good terms. Their name shows up in a different color so that they can be recognized as former members. Might be something to consider.

We tried that for a while, but decided against it. If you leave, you're simply a guest like everyone else.
