Please pass this message on to anyone who is interested:

Occasionally we get an email from people who want to delete / anonymize their account here and leave the site.

That is fine, we have no problem with that - but the issue is that a very large percent of people change their minds after a while and cancel that request or just join again later. Because of this - and because of our desire for people to continue to get the support of friends and contacts here, we ask that you make two separate requests at least two weeks apart (sort of a “cooling off” period). If you think about it and two or more weeks after your first request you really want to fully anonymize your account - then send me a second email stating why you want to leave (we always want to make this site better, so we appreciate the feedback on how we can improve the site) - and tell me its your second request.

I will then anonymize your account - which deletes all the email addresses associated with the account and changes the user name to something like anon98er9783 (some random number after it).

The software is not setup to delete all your past posts, and because there are many good tips and suggestions that people provide in posts and conversations here we want keep a conversation so that it is understandable by people who read these posts months after they are made. If you have revealed personal information in posts, we can delete a small number of posts or edit out any personal information (city, etc. you might be from, if you care about that).

I hope this makes the process clear.

Thanks.

This is the way to anon your account.

I hope you decide to stay, but I understand sometimes people need to leave.

Yeah, I’d like to see you stick around long enough for us to see you get better. I’m really hopeful for your new switch to Clozapine. Would be nice to see you post on something besides your former(hopefully) delusion. Sorry to see you go if you decide to.

My problem is, I think everyone is deceiving me and that I do have cameras implanted in me.

Stay with us, we will always help you in your fight with the delusions!

I know @anon52450205 . But what would be our motivation for doing so? I hope Clozapine will clear some of this up for you. Maybe you will come back afterwards. Good luck.

Thank you. Its just hard to believe I have a delusion and that this isn’t real.

How come this account was anonymized without the two week hold? What’s different about it?

ninjastar · January 13, 2021, 11:20pm

Don’t ask me. The boss is in charge of anonymizations.

Ok. I find it interesting
